Think of all the countries that Trump and his horde think are "shitholes". Athletes and officials from them will be treated as illegal people. Some will be denied visas, more turned back at the border, some will get arrested on bogus charges - I don't think the IOC will stand up for them. And any private individuals from the countries will be treated even worse.
