Duppers's JournalOh WOW!! 😲
How exciting! Bet you've had a most interesting life!
My only experience, not even coming close to your trip, was hubby & myself hosting an older Russian physicist when hubby was in grad school in the '70's. Prof. Krasilnikov(sp?) was in the US to attend a conference & hubby, because he spoke Russian, was asked to entertain him for 3 days. And so we did. He was a nice gentleman who corrected hubby's Russian when he misspoke. The professor's English was better than hubby's Russian apparently.
Strange that after our guest left, I got a visit from 2 "suits" (FBI or CIA?) one day; they'd come up with some laughable story just to be able to case our apartment & harass me, I think. Hubby was at work in the university lab or at Oak Ridge at the time. Our neighbor worked for the local newspaper and wrote a story about it. As this was in the cold-war era of the 70s, it was a local "big deal."
Below was all I could find, but not even coming close to the poster you mentioned.
I don't judge harshly because I know alcoholics are usually miserable people. 
Yes, indeedy.
After living in England for 2+yrs, I can say that I've never seen so many alcoholics in my life.
One dear friend, an older grad student from Pakistan, said his biggest fear about returning to his country would be his inability to obtain "booze," as it's illegal in Islamic countries. Sadly, he had become dependent on it.
(Reminder to self: email Azmat.)
I fear what this ego-deficit psychopath
might do next. 
His ego will not allow him to appear weak.
And there is the fact that he has nukes in his "back pocket."
If implemented...
These would tremendously change this country for the better. 👍 
But can't you just hear the rich, policy-making Republicans screaming now? :
"Give us many people competing for low-paying jobs. Let's keep labor cost low."
