The majority of his posts to date could be abbreviated with "no u" without losing any meaning.

Worthy of criticism though - the sourcing on the washington post article is spotty. I've seen that study by Tourism Economics cited in a lot of articles without any link to the piece itself.
"The result could be an estimated 4.3 million fewer people coming to the United States this year, resulting in $7.4 billion in lost revenue, according to Tourism Economics, a Philadelphia-based analytics firm. Next year, the fallout is expected to be even larger, with 6.3 million fewer tourists and $10.8 billion in losses. Miami is expected to be hit hardest, followed by San Francisco and New York, the firm said."
Would be nice to be able to take a look at how the numbers were arrived at.
