I don't know if I can make it anymore.... everyday I feel myself losing my mind over the idiocy... and I'm helpless. None of this had to happen and "people"are letting it. I don't want America First...

I DO want America First. But America isn't first.

We don't need to be first to be great

Absolutely. Vote with your money.

if I were to point out the irony of a major tourist sporting event just concluded…enjoyed by some commenters from a country blaming and hating “Americans” for something 250 million of us had nothing to do with…

but at the same time enjoying an American tradition like no other, taking place in a 100% republican trump supporting environment with mostly trump supporting participants, would that be characterized by any other commenters on this forum ironic? (I’ll challenge this place to discuss this topic without the normal nonsense.)

I can't dig in to the data on that post since it's behind a pay wall with FT, but based on the chart, it also includes last year at this same time so I would say it is directly related to Trump and less people traveling here, regardless of any sporting events. That graph shows a complete tanking of travel. Similar to the stock markets, almost every marker of the economy looks like that graph the last month. Frightening how one country's president can do so much damage domestically and abroad. If only the other branches of government would reel in the crazy.

Yeah, travel from Canada is WAY down too. Like WAY WAY WAY down. I personally don't know a single person who is currently willing to travel there now unless forced to for work. I know many people who specifically cancelled their summer plans to travel to the US, including parents who had to tell their kids that they were no longer going to Disney World. My hair stylist, several of my co-workers, two personal friends, a handful of family members, etc... all are choosing to avoid the States. No wonder - we can't even trust that we won't be detained just for having opinions that go against the Trump administration's "policies". Why would anyone want to go be a tourist in a country whose government is literally doing all the same things that the Nazis did in the 1930s?

This Forbes article breaks down the loss of tourism better and the impacts in the coming months. Not only is Trump tanking the economy in real time, but the projections indicate he can keep these going for months, costing the US trillions of dollars and then he'll add those losses on to the national debt. Amazing! We'll be so respected around the world.

Might be easier for americans to get concert tickets with travel tanking. I hope more bands start coming north. I ain't going down there.

I have a guitar camp in North Carolina that I've already put thousands of dollars into, and can't get out of it. After that, I don't suspect I'll be back if/until the shitshow is over.

Trump is requiring the United Kingdom to get rid of laws protecting LGBTQ people before he will agree to a trade deal with them.

An hour before the close today $3,000,000 worth of $NVDA calls were aggressively sold

A few minutes ago $NVDA announced that Trump would not let them sell H20 chips to China tanking $NVDA

They aren't even trying to hide it

After #China scrapped US Beef Imports ($2.5 Billion, 31% of USA Export Market), now Japan & Korea are also turning to Australia.

Ditto, Mexico looking to Argentina.

With those 4 markets, that's $5.4 Billion, 68% of USA's beef exports. Gone.

USA will never get it all back, if any.

Ever.

Still, America, it's all worth it to 'Own Da Libs', right ?
