Yep. And also people not wanting to get human trafficked out to South Sudan or El Salvador.
Yeah....thats covered under being a bunch of cunts. Only a cunt would do that.
And not good ones like Australian cunts
Meanwhile, Taco is literally attacking the 4th largest economy in the world and yammering on about tariffs again.
I just don't know how the market is still (relatively) up. I think when the crash does come, it's going to be so rough.
The market is running on cocaine, hate, and broken dreams. Just give it time, and it'll be a hell of a crash.

As mentioned by many, the "market" is just a graph of rich people's feelings. Everything he's done so far is helping rich people.
exactly. not only is it mainly made of their money with whatever retirement and such from those doing better in the middle being a pittance in comparison but they also aren't really investing and just holding it there because there is no real other option. Meanwhile as wealth disparity gets worse less of the regular folk even have anything in it. So it goes up because people who have money don't have anywhere else to put it. Should be interesting once we see the us market doing poorly while europe and asia do alright or if the bond markets falls apart.

Cocaine, Hate and Broken Dreams is what netflix should name the documentary about the upcoming market crash

the dollar is down
that effects valuation
pretty sure a majority of small (and large tbh) business owners who rely on tourism voted for exactly all the bullshit going on right now. they can go fuck themselves
Majority of small, 100% of large.
I don’t know about 100%. I doubt the companies that do a lot of manufacturing in China were big on Trump… even if they tried to buy him off by donating to his inauguration.
His trade policies were always going to be bad for business.

Why the fuck anyone want to come here right now? Dick-tator Dipstick running the show with his mushroom-fellating moron brigade cheering him on as if he wasn't shitting his pants and reading at a third grade level...
Selling off our public lands-- you know, the shit people want to see when they come here...
Getting arrested for coming here AS A TOURIST and potentially being thrown in a fucking concentration camp...
Everything is way too expensive and untrustworthy
Getting arrested for coming here AS A TOURIST and potentially being thrown in a fucking concentration camp…
Yep. That would definitely rank very fucking high for me if I was a non-USian who thought about coming here. Most especially if I wasn't doing the Dark Forest theory of Internet use and/or if I was not white/xtian.
These assholes are wanting to log in to devices at the border and are trolling for political content.

They arbitrarily imprison tourists and then are surprised nobody wants to risk being imprisoned
Imagine risking being disappeared into a concentration camp just for the chance to see the Jersey Shore.

Even if I wanted to visit the states. Can I risk having my holiday ruined and the money I’d lose if I was randomly turned away at the border?
It’s not even safe to transit the states at the moment.

The Trump Regime has made it widely known that absolutely no one is safe visiting the United States. They've made travel by Americans, to American destinations questionable, based on ICE antics.
Does America want a healthy tourism industry? Then they'd better get busy smashing fascism.
As it stands, it is simply not advisable to travel to the United States.
“They've made travel by Americans, to American destinations questionable, based on ICE antics.” I think the appropriate word instead of antics is atrocities.

You're literally imprisoning tourists for the most minor shit, you silly dickheads. Of course that's going to cost you money.

You mean Trump is bad for business?
Which means all those people saying he'd run it like a business are....stupid?
He is running it like a business, problem is, he runs most of his businesses straight into the ground.

Well, the idea of running a Constitutional republic "like a business" is stupid for a whole lot of reasons, but having Taco run it like one of his "businesses" is....next-level stupid.
No idea why a European would ever want to come here. The travel options there are much better and cheaper. Oh and you won't get thrown into a foreign prison.
Throwing aside the current administration... There's so much to see in the US. All the national parks and other sights. It's a roadtripper's dream. One of the most diverse countries as far as landscape and climate is concerned. We have Disneyland in Europe (Paris), but there's Disney World in Florida which is way bigger (never been to either, not THAT big of a fan myself, but I know there's loads of Disney fans). NYC, LA and SF are all great cities to visit I hear, though I've only been to NYC (lots of fun - there's so much to discover just by walking around)
Now as a foreigner I'm slightly scared of the current admin despite being pasty white, so I'm not going to visit again anytime soon. But one day I would like to come back for sure. Until then... I do still have a LOT of Europe to discover as well, I've only spent any real time in my neighboring countries, others I've visited very briefly.

Hoping my flight to visit the US this fall has empty seats.
(I’m a US citizen who has not been back to the states for over 5 years. Going to visit family and meet 2 of my sister’s children.)
P.S. it feels like I need this disclaimer to explain why I would go there.

Believe me, I understand. And I'm sure a lot of other people do, too.

Correction, you WERE a US citizen!
-ICE, probably.

You did. I live here and my reaction to your post was l, "Why the fuck would you willingly come here?"

Tourism went down in Berlin in 1935, but that's not the same thing, right?
And up in 1936 on account of the Olympics. You'll never guess who's hosting the 2028 games.

Gee, I wonder why? Perhaps xenophobia and open hostility towards foreigners isn't good for the tourism industry? Who could have possibly foreseen this outcome? 🤔🙄
I expect this trend to continue if the federal government moves forward with it's plan to charge foreigners more money to visit national parks. One of the objectively best things about our country is our vast natural beauty protected by the federal government in perpetuity, and the national parks system is one of the few institutions that turns a profit every year and we still have the dumbass-in-chief trying to fuck that up too.
our vast natural beauty protected by the federal government in perpetuity
Well, for the moment, anyway....

Tourism is down? No shit!
I'm in a situation where I might have to travel with a group of students, and big boss is dead set on the US. We're talking overtime, plane tickets, car rental, hotel, and a per diem. But still I'm resigning before I'll go to the US right now. If ICE or CBP sees 10% of the stuff I've said about TACO, and politics in general, online, I'd be lucky to just get shipped home.
Have the ~~day~~ ~~four years~~ death of freedom, liberty, and prosperity you voted for, Americans.
American here. I wouldn’t want to visit here either. I do Nazi this as a good destination spot.

I am not doubting, but I am surprised that the article does not even mention Israel. I can't see their tourism growing this year

Anecdotal: traveling to the smoky mountains and rented some bicycles. Owner said rentals are down 30% compared to this time last year.
Well, who wants to do holidays is a fascist country, with the constant fear not to see Yellowstone or Niagara Falls, but Guantanamo instead.
No one wants to visit. ICE is even detaining white people from Canada and UK, no one is safe from this Trump crap.
Good. We fucking deserve it.
I bet it’s all the illegals who used to come on a tourist visa to enter and then illegally overstayed. /s
