But, many people here also got to experience limitation of freedom:
5 subway stations in Brussels were closed temporarily, one all day long, and the outer "ring" highway was at a standstill as well, all to let the Trump motorcade pass. We have leaders of all countries visiting in Brussels (being the seat of the EU parliament) all the time, and this never happens.

It was the similar with Obama, to be fair. It makes you think "how peaceful are these Leaders of the Free World" if they need such over the top security?"
