Obviously this would happen with the current administration in the USA.

The foundation should be moved to a country where the rule of law and neutrality are respected. Switzerland perhaps?

They'll need to delete those LTA pages first before they can move to Europe due to GDPR.

Sadly no country is immune from changes in rule.

It seems like in the worst case all Wikipedia would lose is their tax-exempt status. So it wouldn't even be the end of the world.
