So.impressive the multiple ways he is trashing the economy. |
I’m shocked. Trump has been so kind and caring towards our tourists. Even those he locked in solitary confinement for two weeks for no apparent reason. The American taxpayer paid for their food! |
It will get a lot worse. No one wants to come here or pump money in to the US economy. |
My French family is definitely not coming here. We are not leaving the US either, since our jobs and lives are here in DC and we don't want any trouble on our return. All visa-waivers, visa-holders and green card holders are now at risk.
The only internationals who are traveling outside the US right now are doing so for their jobs. |
+1 Only the Russians will come. Trump will never do anything to them. |
I have family in Europe who have been planning a trip to the US for years and they finally were supposed to come visit us this summer. Just found out recently that they cancelled their plans. They are seeing all the crazy things happening to tourists in the US and they are scared. |
It is 25% already, and airlines are slashing routes |
Just last month you people were complaining that parks and museums are too crowded with tourists.
Pick a side. |
Their fears are unfounded and only a result of hysterical media in Europe. There is truly no difference in risk now for a French family than there was six months ago. If anything I’d argue it’s safer since crime rates have continued to decrease. This is actually why Trump won. People got tired of the hysteria and being gaslit. |
Trump won because people like you watch too much Fox News and live in a fact free void. There have been many, MANY reports of European and Canadian tourists being held in detention by ICE at US airports, sometimes for days or weeks. It's not great for our tourism industry. |
It's not hysterical when British, German and French tourists are yelled at by Border Control, turned away, or forced to spend weeks in detention even though their paperwork is perfectly in order!!! There is an official warning from these countries to be very careful if planning travel to the USA. Their citizens are heeding the warnings, as they should. You need to get out of your media bubble and see the reality on the ground. |
This! Dummies binging on Fox News all day long have broken this country. There are dummies still twisting themselves into a pretzel trying to defend some of these ridiculous Trump policies. It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic. |
Good, maybe the prices of hotels and rental cars can drop. Going overseas is a much better value than staying in your own country these days. |
Have you ever left your tiny podunk town? Do you even live in dc? There are real threats against tourists right now. People are being picked up off the streets and detained. People who are legally trying to enter the country are being illegally locked up - some for weeks, in for-profit prisons paid for by the American tax payer. Even if you’re not worried about the tourists, you should at least be concerned that YOU are footing the prison bill for people who don’t even belong there. Trumpers are too stupid to see an industry being gutted while over paying for nonsense and somehow think it’s a good thing 🙄 you just can’t with these idiots. Taking financial advice from someone who bankrupt a casino. |
This summer it's going to go down even more.
Pissing off the rest of the world except for Russia and North Korea isn't helping. |
