‘Trump Slump’ Looms as Foreign Visitors Rethink Travel to U.S.

[Anonymous]

Cheap domestic travel is just the start. These failed hotels will be flop houses for fentanyl zombies, the maga dream.

Of course some businesses are going to go under, but that’s just the price the MAGA owners need to pay to make America great. Not everyone has what it takes.

Prices are already coming down in many places popular with overseas travelers. I visit Phoenix on a regular basis throughout the year and have for several years. The hotel prices fluctuate greatly between the off season (summer), where you can get a mid level hotel (Hilton Garden/Marriott Courtyard) for $99 and peak season (March) where the same hotel is over $350.

When I booked a hotel for March travel, it was under $200. The same hotel last year was $350. This past weekend, I made a last minute reservation at a hotel vacation property for about $150. Others had reservations at a Hilton for $130.

MAGA love this, though. It means cheaper travel options for Americans in American only. MAGA base doesn't do that much overseas travel so they don't care about America's global reputation or that the dollar is falling making it expensive to travel overseas. As long as they're stickin' to the libs, that's really all that matters.

Yeah, crazy talk about scoring deals on domestic travel because our "president" is hellbent on terrorizing our cities, chasing brown people and tearing down the very things that have kept us, and Europe safe, since WWII. But, hey, at least I can now get a room at Holiday Inn for only $99.

It’s called looking for silver linings in some pretty awful clouds. I can’t stop Trump from wrecking the economy. MAGA wanted a show and they’ll get a show. They just won’t get the prosperity they were expecting. Might as well take advantage of whatever deals they are offering before the market right sizes itself to a new reality.

Pretty much. This is where I am at now too, might as well enjoy things before the maga dream comes true and we are all mostly living in a derelict hellscape unless we are billionaires.

Of course Vacation Vance would turn up at the Olympics with Usha. Italy at the taxpayer expense again? Why not!

I bet he brought his kids for a full taxpayer funded vacation.

In the midst of everything, this is picayune: but Vance should get a shave/trim and wear a suit if he’s going to represent the United States in international fora. He’s too fat and unkempt to pull off a tracksuit.

It does seem like our economy and foreign policy are getting re-written with Russia as the model.

In cursive or in block letters? Either way - impressive control if it’s legible.
