Tourism slumps 11.6 % in March. Costs US billions

[Tommy Tainant]

US to miss out on billions as Trump’s policies deter overseas tourists

Number of visitors sinks 11.6% in March as deportations and tariffs make US a less appealing destination

“I love my kids and family more than anything, it’s only feeling unsafe is stopping me. I’m too old and tired to sleep on concrete.”

The lady quoted usually visits every year to see her kids. Now she is too scared to give her name in case the trump gestapo tracks them down.

I suppose some folks like holidaying in the danger zone. You know Afghanistan and Sudan. But most folk like relaxing round the pool for a few precious weeks. Enjoying a meal without being reported to "the authorities". Maybe buying a suit without having to show their papers.

Its difficult to see how this is turned around. They need the purge to not make international headlines to restore some confidence. But trump and his moronic followers live for performative cruelty.

Ive been to the US a few times. But I have no plans to return. Its a darrk and oppresve place now. Individual freedom is dead under a fascistic regime.

Many people feel the same.

So, her kids are illegals?

That's their actions making it hard for their mom to see them.

Where does it say that you ignorant maga fuck.

She's afraid to "lead" the authorities to her children. THe only reason that would be a concern, is if her children are here illegally and are thus subject to being sent home.

Its a standard reaction to trump tariffs. The taxpayer picks up the tab.

There are times when you just have to look at the source (The Guardian) and presume that the article is bullshit. EVERYTHING they print about the U.S. is flavored with anti-Trump animus.

The percentage of Americans who give a shit about a decrease in tourism? A fraction of a percent. You cannot run your country to please idiots, especially idiots from other countries.

Why else would she feel unsafe.....makes a go hhmmmm

She spoke out on the administration. Legal or not that puts people at risk.

Oh, so her kids are lefties who hate the US?

In that case, yes, we don't need any more anti-American trash. We have enough home grown anti-Americans.

 

[pknopp]

Nothing illegal about speaking out.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Nothing illegal about speaking out.

Obviously she is worried about being arrested

 

[Correll]

Nothing illegal about speaking out.

True. And no reason for us to invite people that hate us, to become part of our community.

So, you hate us, then get the fuck out. Go home.

 

[pknopp]

It's getting that way for many.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Why else would she feel unsafe.....makes a go hhmmmm

Because the US is now a fascist state. They are even deporting americans.
