As much as I dislike Donald Trump, I am willing to hold my nose here and suggest encouraging the Trump Administration to go full MAGA and direct Congress to pass laws explicitly stating that no foreign judgements or fines may be enforced on US citizens.

Yes, and then they just wait until you show up on their soil (say, on vacation) and arrest you then.

Remember Assange? He's fine as long as he stays in the embassy, but step into the back alley for a smoke and he's off to the hoosegow.

I think we understand where you're coming from, but as written this is incredibly ignorant. You're essentially rejecting all international law (copyright, patent, tax, etc).
