It’s great if people are informed enough to boycott US goods but most don’t know and sadly don’t care. Remember that survey that asked if 18 to 35 year olds prefer democracy to authoritarianism? 35% chose the latter😢

The Massroots Movement is a growing collective of working and middle-class voices united to prioritize people over profit and end the corrosive grip of corporate power on US democracy. We advocate for a peaceful, just future by divesting from war and investing in infrastructure. Join the movement.

America's enemies are closely watching. You can be sure they will capitalize on this downturn. America's friends are also watching as they do not want to be dragged under by the trump damage.

For years China has been stealing our technology and the best innovations the world has taken years to produce. They have played leapfrog over decades of R&D and now are becoming World leaders in Green technology, Hi Speed Rail, and will be producing world class automobiles.

While our country isolates and stagnates under trump, who is more concerned about Corporatism and power than the greater good. And he is supported by idiots who would rather hurt those they hate than help advance the world and country to a higher quality of life for everyone.

China is over 5000 years old like the Elvin King in LOTR said "I have patience, I can wait!" America is a shithole country and has become a giant joke as well as a small annoyance on the entrails of time and China can and will survive another 5000 years America, not so much!

Well that is some fantastical thinking. The price to make/import things are going to get more expensive. Companies are not going to reduce their prices. They have to pay their CEOs and management big bonuses and show their shareholders they’re making money. They’re going to rob you blind.

I’m guilty as charged when it comes to being sympathetic to the plight of Palestinians. I’m not going to risk visiting USA anytime soon. Which is a shame in many ways. Have had lots of really memorable trips to the USA. It’s a truly remarkable country.

It’s Tuesday & Trump & his phone line don’t work much. But you can leave a message Tues-Thurs 11-3. 202.456.1111 Every day call your reps and 202-224-3121 Mike Johnson John Thune Chuck Schumer Hakeem Jefferies Call for impeachment/treason charges Need help use 5calls.org

Canada alone injects $20 billion or more annually into the US economy just from travel and tourism. No more. Someone needs to get it through Trump's thick skull that we Canucks are tough as nails, betrayed and pissed off, and he needs to *apologize* for threatening our sovereignty and respect us.

You’ll never get that fragile ego narcissist to say sorry for anything Crashing the economy seems to be the point, sadly As an American sorry on behalf of the 1/3 of the population that voted for this chaos and hate - they were selfish, ignorant and ok with harming others

I've been saying it since 2015 disowned my entire family and friends and quit a 10 year job when it was already blatantly obvious! I even ran for office but nobody listens to the truth and just bullied teased mocked and made fun of me so America, you're on your own now! Goodluck 👌 YAWNING

Yep! No remorse or accountability ever He doesn’t care what happens to us here when benefits are gone - anyone in war torn places like Ukraine, Gaza, Yemen living or dying, or our military killed in Lithuania recently as are all suckers and losers So zero qualms to bully our allies like Canada

When I said “they” I’m referring to the administration that heaped this steaming pile of dog shit on us. If “they” are to suffer, then it is I who couldn’t care less!

I sure as fuck wouldn't visit here or buy stuff from America at this point. Unfortunately I fucking live here and for the first time I hate my country. I have no love for America right now we are not fighting hard enough our government is collapsing and it is happening before our eyes

Because we need at least one branch of government. Lawyers are doing what they can. Winning or slowing the regime down. The regime is trying to choke off those by trying to strip judges + w/ the SAVE Act. If that legislation passes, women will need to go through hoops to be able to vote.

Which that's why as a woman I am happy I have my passport my name is still my maiden name and I have my original birth certificate my son has a passport too just out of safety because wow this country is so much fun right now

Can you blame them? They may get arrested and sent off to some prison somewhere. Foreigners are under attack in the U.S. Would we go on vacation to North Korea or Iran? Probably not.

Trump lost America trillions of dollars. He claims DOGE is saving billions. They're not. DOGE is hacking into Amerca's most sensitive & personal data systems & most likely using it as a weapon against U.S. They're destroying Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid,Veterans Benefits, and so much more.

There are peaceful means. Keep protesting. Keep calling Congressional Representatives and Senators. Keep showing up at Town Halls. Keep boycotting. Join local groups. Get ready for General Strikes. Band together. Civil disobedience without violence.

Nobody wants to shoot their neighbor until it is absolutely, 100% unavoidable and while MAGA may be loud, they’re not a population majority by any mark or measure. Most are waiting to see which way the military goes since they -intensely- pissed off at the orange pudding. Then, all bets are off.

It’s so sad and scary. But I believe it’s the thing that’s going to bring him down. And his administration. * please note, it’s very hard for me not to write profanities at this point. 🤬

You are correct. What I’m concerned about is US citizens who are opposed to everything he’s doing being rounded up it’s already happened twice. We have to be smart. Hit them in the wallet… But be smart. Rumor is, there’s going to be martial law starting April 20. *I don’t know if this is true.

‘They have to do better when the next election comes’ Isn’t that wishful thinking? He’s already trying yo get a 3rd term (which is ANOTHER thing against the constitution), so he’s going to either: • Try to keep himself in power • Make a ‘Trump Dynasty’ by getting his kid next in line

In 2023, the travel and tourism industry contributed $2.36 trillion to the US economy, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council. Plus I'd put the Olympics AND World Cup as UNLIKELY. Major conferences have already been cancelled. How much is all that?

I’d be shocked if FIFA decided to change the World Cup location(s) before 2026. FIFA is corrupt to its core and doesn’t seem to have an issue with autocracy. International fans traveling between USA, Mexico, and Canada could be severely impacted. 

Yes, FIFA is corrupt to its core & it's safe to assume they won't change the venue. However, I hope that NATO & other countries that the orange moron has declared economic warfare on, decide to simply NOT attend impacting both evil empires where it hurts them the most! What a message that would send

They want to - actually HAVE to - pack those stadiums, tho. And TV needs to see they'll be packed. Merch, commercials, spin offs... all in question. And how will 'security' be arranged? Lots of gun-totin' good ole boys? What if the stadiums are only half full? That will be a really bad look...

“$12.5B: This is not just tourism revenue. This is reputational capital—bleeding out. Each 💵 lost is a a museum not visited, a university unchosen, conference canceled, film not shot, collaboration foregone…This is not how great powers collapse. It’s how they fade…” open.substack.com/pub/rebootth...

Yep. Some European tourists have been wrongfully detained, others turned away at the border. Apparently you cannot enter if you have critical opinions about the current government. Opinions and free speech are now banned in the land of the free. By the people who campaigned against censorship.

Is it the cell phone inspections, the harassment by ICE for not "looking right", the threat of being disappeared to a gulag in El Salvador, or just the rampant stupidity of America under this current regime? All of the above?

I know people who own property in Florida. It used to be fine to go a few times a year. They could avoid talking politics. When they went in early Dec. they were literally followed by Americans demanding they say how great Trump was. They are selling and going to buy in Portugal.

Wooowhooo! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!! USA !!

I'm a Canadian, and even if he removes the tariffs, I won't be buying much American food in the near future. It's not safe to eat because they've fired everyone who oversees food safety.

My wife is a veterinarian, which means a lot of her training focused on food safety. Ranchers operate on razor-thin margins and if they see a chance to cut corners on a good safety practice, they'll take it. She's American and won't touch American meat right now for any reason.

Same here. The US Vice President has made it very clear what he and his cohorts think of the UK, so there is no way I'm spending any money that might benefit them, or the people that voted for them in any way whatsoever. Stuff em 🖕

...and yet today we hear Vance say he and Donny love us Brits, admire the King, etc., and can't wait to do a trade deal with us. Like it or not, we need a short-term deal with them, but only as a stop-gap whilst we develop trading arrangements with more reliable, trustworthy partners.

Not when it depends on us overturning our hate speech laws we don't. JD Vance has already said that a deal will only be struck if the UK changes it's laws on hate speech. Not a fucking chance. If Starmer did that there would be race riots again, and I don't think even he is that stupid.

Same here in the UK! And I wanted to celebrate my 50th in Dollywood... Nope .. I am gay I have a big unicorn tattooed on my leg so I don't want to end up in a South America Concentration Camp

As soon as the orange shit-gibbon is deposed, we'll be back. I had intended to visit the US this year, but I wouldn't risk it. I want to punch every tRumpanzee, and there's a lot of them there.

Makes me sad! Dollywood is a blast and I love her, but everything getting to and from resort yeah I advise cancelling Trump support is high in Tennessee- it went ruby red Our trip there before the election I go to my husband OMG he may actually win - people aren’t ashamed to support him

Billions? That is conservative. Once the dominoes that are currently falling, really get moving, we will have a full on Depression that will make the Great Depression look like the good times....

The USA has demonstrated that it is a country so deeply racist and so completely misogynistic it cannot bring itself to accept a Black Woman even when the only alternative is a proven incompetent failure and a convicted felon and in cognitive decline. Why would anyone want to visit such a place?

The sad part is most places within 50 miles of major metropolitan areas are fairly liberal, but the rest of the country, the rural areas, are mostly conservative, radically so, they are also the lowest educated and poorest. Not to say this is a hard and fast rule, but racism roots run very deep.

I'd say it's more that liberal democracy has shallow ones. When France was in danger of electing their 'Trump' every conservative, socialist, liberal, green and anarchist was ready to stand against them. The evidence is that Americans just hate each other more than they love America.

In part you may be right, but speaking for myself I don’t hate anyone. In fact I feel bad that the hardcore Trumpers were so badly conned, they’ve been radicalized because it was easy, they were convinced everything wrong in their lives was due to those “other people”, and that hate was weaponized.

So you never care when they deliver affordable health care, lower drug prices, protections from predatory financial corporations that were setting high fees, protecting water and air, delivering COVId relief, etc. You seem to want to reward laws that look at children’s genitalia, ban books…

Obviously 77 million of your fellow Americans didn’t know/think/want what Dems had done/were offering. But 75 million did. Democratic Party & supporters need to convince those that didn’t vote/might but didn’t vote for Harris to change their minds Turnip may be doing a good job of convincing some.

Terrorize citizens and immigrants, defund schools, defund scientific research that could save your life, and reject any public health to keep you healthy. You seem to want a deep recession with no safety net. You will get that and no one will be there to come to your aid.

I absolutely won't be travelling to the states while this shit pig is the president, no more Vegas national rodeo, no more Disney land with family,rather visit some of the country (Canada) that I've yet to explore!

They're absolutely right. Few from foreign countries feels safe coming here, even if they wanted. Thanks to the Trump Reich, we don't feel welcome in any foreign port. Refusing to visit a country or buy their products is the easiest and one of the most effective ways to protest bad behavior.

We're on the cusp of a depression. It won't take much to throw us over the edge. The First Felon wants this to happen, so he and his friends can pick up real estate and other assets at bargain-basement prices. Then they plan to suddenly change course, bring back the economy, and sell at big profits.

🛑 Does anyone doubt this? 🇺🇸📌 The USA has disappeared... 🤢 Now it is a country hostile to the world, in which good people nevertheless live. 👎🙀 Are Republicans under illusions or do they really believe that they have a chance to rebuild their trust in themselves?

My grocery cart went from almost 50% US products to 80-90% Canadian and 10-20% international. Canceled vacation plans and told family/friends to come visit Canada instead..and unlike many who is limiting this to Trump..I don't intend to change until America changes for the better

As an American, I'm doing the same where I can. I'm trying to get as much of my fresh food as local as possible and growing the rest. I'm not spending a dime I don't have to and certainly not giving it to corporate America or maga-owned businesses.

This is exactly a point I made in an earlier post aimed at US corporate CEOs of big American brands (processed foods, airlines, apparel, hotels and car rental agencies). Once they have lost those customers to other foreign competitors (Sixt, Europcar, Melia, Novotel, etc.) they’re gone for good.

The hardest thing I find is fresh fruit and vegetables. Only a couple of things actually came from California, but I refuse to let Trump ruin my health. I feel bad for the people in California who are losing their workers because they're afraid of ending up in El Salvador.

But, shits-in-pants, orange clown is telling the news media and magaidiots that everything is good, don't worry about the little hiccups. We'll be raking in the money from all the countries lined up to negotiate tariffs. Bullshit and lies are all that comes from this white house.

Damn him! Am on The Oregon coast & work at a resort. The GD thing has been far lower than normal of visitors & not one Canadian guest has arrived. And trust me, we get alot of Vancouver BC Canadian customers normally. Everything he touches dies. I FING HATE THAT EVIL MAN! 🤬

If you consider that most of the technical or educated individuals needed to make the things that generate the most GDP for the US are liberal, make enough to move to another country ,and are highly sought after by other countries. Then you have a bigger issue than tourism.

Only an idiot would come here… America deserves to be destroyed for allowing the rapist criminal be selected for them by billionaires a second time…after he killed hundreds of thousands of them the first time
