So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

International tourism is worth $200 billion every year to the US economy. Sorry, *was.

It’s been pretty obvious since 2016. They’re out to destroy the country at Putin’s request and kill as many of us as they can along the way. #covid #measles #influenza #novaccines.

And even if we do restore normalcy, that tourism is not coming back right away. We are not trusted and for good reason. It’s going to take time and we are going to need to build it safeguards to make sure this never happens again.

It’s literally got to a stage whereby if you HAVE to travel to US recommended to take a burner phone. And for extra safety suspend or log out of all social media accts that they could check online. It’s Russia and China behaviour now. The Autocratic States of America 🇺🇸

What needs to happen is an impeachment with an overwhelming majority to convict and remove this entire administration from office and have them stand trial for their incompetence and destruction of the norms they are trying to rid us of. Special election for a competent President, VP, and admin.

I won’t set foot in the states. Too bonkers right now. Not sure I ever will again. The evangelical, prosperity gospel, Republican Jesus crowd has always been weird, but now they have power. It’s not save anymore. I’ll take my chances with Mexico. That’s a sad statement.

I don’t blame you. Mexico is lovely - if you have never been, I highly recommend Mexico City. Lovely people, amazing food. Lots of history and cool things to see and do. San Jose del Cabo is also nice and has beautiful art galleries.

I hope Canadians keep canceling trips for MANY reasons. I listened to the story of Canadian actress Jasmine Mooney on “Pod Save America” today and it was INSANE what so many detainees are going through over seemingly simple-fix issues like systemic glitches in having the correct kind of passport!

I’ve had issues in the past at the Port of Regway on the Saskatchewan/Montana border. One US Border Security official seems to dislike Canadians using the Plentywood Parcel Service. That business is going to suffer. That guy is a total ass. Economy must be good to turn us away.

Our country is on the list to avoid travelling to the US along with UK , Germany, France and quite a few other countries in the US . To be honest, everyone I talk to is avoiding the US . They now prefer Mexico and Canada !!

No European in their right mind, myself included, wants the hassle & uncertainty. Now that demands are made to see social media accounts, it's game over. Almost every one of us has telt 🍊, nutso Elon & the whole shower of evil creeps what we think of them on one platform or another.

Only when ordinary Americans actually unfortunely see devastation in either income or prices lift off and services provided by subsidised immigrant labour unavailable or americans wirk for $7.20 an hour

Hey MAGA, was it worth the lost jobs, healthcare, Social Security, lost 401k, education, affordable prescriptions and general peace of mind? Has it sunk in yet that the GOP don't give a flying fig about you? Trump told you during his rallies he didn't care about you, he just wanted your vote!

Fully agree except the 100B in weapons systems seems to be way underestimated. Nearly everything the US sells is proprietary and can be bricked at the push of a button. A button that Trump has shown can be pushed on the whim or fit of pique of any future president. 100M dollar planes go to $0 value.

I saw your comment,and no, I am NOT spamming anyone! I am trying to get the word out about What's really going on.Trump is just the puppet. People are focusing on him & not the people behind the scenes who are calling a the shots. Trump, not only doest know what a tariff is, he can't even spell it.

Shell game or the worst plan in history. In less of course, it was never about lowering debt and cutting waste. It was all about those downloads of files the 1st few weeks. Years of gov spending, banking data, personal data. All heading into AI miners. Musk is retiring now.

This patriotic American is rooting for Canada to absolutely stick it to American businesses in red states and make them suffer. They must be made to realize the dreadfully awful political decisions they’ve made and they need to question their “news” source going forward. Hit them where it hurts.

Went to Florida last April with a group of friends. Had such a great time, we all rebooked. We met last month and all of us canceled, even though we lost money. I'm relieved we canceled.

I am a Floridian, and I support your decision. Money is all they understand. If I were from a foreign country, I would be worried about being disappeared. It's already happened. It's not safe, and it's going to get worse.

People are truly afraid to travel here for fear of being apprehended. Many countries still remember the fascists and what was done to their people 50-80 years ago. Why risk traveling here if you might be detained and tortured.

I don’t think it has sunk in to the MAGAts. Many are still going about their lives believing it’s all part of a plan to get us to a better economy overall and still unwilling to admit how stupid they were in November. 🤪

Tourists won’t be booking flights anytime soon. With planes crashing left and right, it’s not exactly the “vacation of a lifetime” we’re selling. Maybe we should start advertising it as an extreme sport—no guarantees you’ll make it back home.

Delusional the NAZIS and their dear leader won't be leaving without war and violence abd death!! You people will finally get it in 2028 when there's no real election and he'll win his 3rd illegal term and even if he dies or gets removed the NAZI regime will continue without him! DUH

Fascist regimes work hard to evoke despair and helplessness in resistance movements. Hope can be a commitment, a radical act of resistance - regardless of what emotions we are feeling. Hope is not sufficient in itself, but it's a step in the right direction.

THAT is almost $1 TRILLION --- almost HALF of what Musk-rat promised to "save" America. So he will, in conjunction w/ The Orange Bastard, be ADDING $1 trillion MORE to our debt from lost revenues. GOOD MOVE, tRUMP/Musk. You couldn't be any LESS American-oriented.

I sort of disagree. In any war, while it's important to show a strong military that can hold and advance the front line, it's the diplomatic, intelligence, and propaganda systems that can work the other side of that line to minimize casualties at it. Disrupting a system from the inside is effective.

A couple of years ago, I noticed that Dems were losing ground with Latino voters. I launched a Spanish-language YouTube channel to reach those people. That channel is now on its way to 300,000 subscribers and has nearly 50 million views. We have be aggressive and go into spaces we're not already in.

With a human being, your skin is it's biggest organ. That's your front line defense from infection and disease. When the enemy breaches it, it can be fatal for numerous reasons. Getting things (medication, IV drugs) past the skin to the inside can do a lot of harm or good, with a small investment.

Well worded. Dissenting voices on X aren’t being silenced yet, but they are definitely being overcome with conservative, hateful, conspiratorial voices. To continue speaking on X means communicating the truth, which our dear MAGAs may finally relent to

That’s frightening but it won’t sink in for his voters until the incoming poor economy hits them hard. They aren’t thinking about the long game and are currently giddy believing it’ll only hurt the people they don’t like.

MAGA world is very tied into tourism in those sparsely populated states. Utah is going to get hit very hard in both their ski and National Parks business

That is what they “want” but there are lots of laws and ppl there to fight them. The logging EO was a waste of paper as the logging firms would be 3 plus years away from getting through the courts and years more from cutting wood that would still be too expensive.

Nah, the world cup and the Olympics have been held in Qatar (not known for its human rights) and the Olympics in Beijing (2008). These big sporting bodies don't really care. And Trump will be happy to see so many Russians of they stop doping long enough.

FIFA needs to start publicly stating they are concerned for all their World Cup athletes coming to America, and how will they be protected. Publicly shame Trump, and make the athletes decide if they want to take the risk. The Olympic Committee would never take a public stance against the USA.

“ This country is heading for a disaster of biblical proportion.Old Testament.real wrath of God type stuff. River’s n seas boiling ..human sacrifice,dogs and cats living together .. mass hysteria!” If I’m right and we can stop T..Lenny you would have saved the lives of millions of registered voters

Putin is telling Trump to pay his debts by killing the US economy, military, and education system. This has been Putin's plan for years and has been written about. The people backing Trump are totally corrupt and, apparently, stupid as well.

The Tourism & Wine Industry in CA is already feeling it. The news is not properly portraying how upset & concerned other countries, in addition to a majority of Americans are. We are all being attacked from within. I keep thinking of the stollen, top secret documents 🚽 …worried for our Navy subs.

Florida is losing a bundle, Mueller. We have a lot of Canadians, and they own half the condos down here and rent the other half. They come in October and leave in April. They spend a lot of money. They were our biggest group of visitors. This is going to bankrupt restaurants, stores, and hotels

Only one logical explanation for destructive Dump moves-He's working to Putin's plan. Step 1: Crash US economy. Permanently destroy important segments like auto industry. 2: Continue alienating any possible US ally. 3: Eliminating Social Security & safety nets, crush morale & trap citizens in fear.

Good. This kind of pain is the only way to get "some types" of people to do the right thing - not because they believe it's the right thing but because it is the thing that is in their own best interest.

EXACTLY!!!! He’s doing all of this so Russia has to bail the US out of FINANCIAL RUINS like he’s done with Trump businesses, therefore Russia will OWN America OR Elon will. People better RECOGNIZE what’s really happening.

He was laughed at in LA or Vegas for trying to get permits or whatever to start up there.. admittedly he wasn’t that well known in those places back then. This was before The Apprentice. I saw this in a documentary about Trump

I’m entrenching for a recession. I suggest everyone do so. It’s also time to donate to the foodbank if you can. I’m clearing out as much stuff as I can and donating it. Also cranking up the creation of donation quilts. Gonna be some hard times ahead.

And we don't have to be struggling. People want to work, and make a decent wage. People want to be needed. But you can't fire 3/4 of the government, and cause a possible depression, and then wonder what happened to the jobs. You can't throw veterans out of work, and expect loyalty from the military.

Kelly is a fucking coward. Our military has done nothing for us since WWII. No one gives a fuck about our troops anymore. I'd rather fight with Ukraine any minute. If Mark Kelly would give me one year of his salary. I'd would go to fight Putin with our allies. I hate this country thankt

If Disney would leave Florida for Delaware, Florida would collapse and Democrats could potentially take the country back. Delaware being century located could actually make more money for Disney

Nope, the 1% running this shit show don't care. They will make money no matter what. Trump will find a way for them. The 99% who will bear the brunt of all future taxes due to the stupidity of the orange clown and the sociopaths around him can not do anything about this. The nightmare has begun.

Add to that bill, all of the lawsuits that will come from this. It will cost the US trillions alone. Don.t think so? 205 illegal imprisonments cost 2 billion plus in damages for past confinements. There are losses of trillions coming in as a bill to the kids

They want to make child labor in Fl. less restrictive. Let 11 and 12 year Olds work overnight even on school nights and 16 and 17 year Olds no meal breaks. We really do hate other people's children just not rich white children.

The last part of that last sentence is key. I recall a section in Project 2025 where kids that attend public school, or any school that gets federal funding, test for military service. Obviously, that would preclude private school kids. Smh

You'll have many tourists from Russia and North Korea, though And probably Putin is interested in buying one F-35, just for reverse engineering But one is better than nothing Lockheed Martin and their workers will be thankful We Europeans too

Even if you file an extension, if you owe taxes you need to pay by April 15 or incur penalties. The IRS will got back to picking on middle class and lower income people because they don’t have lawyers to fight back. The real tax cheats will get away with it.

Filed mine early Feb because I had a refund coming. I am required to take a minimum withdrawal from my IRA because of my age. This year I will order the investment company to not withhold any taxes. They don't get to use my money even it it is temporary.

We should all refuse to pay our taxes until Trump, his entire billionaire cabinet, Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Thiel, Gates, etc. all release their tax returns to prove they actually paid something.

Plus universities and the cities they are located in will face an economic downturn with fewer & fewer international students-paying their big tuition, room & board/rent, purchasing food, essentials, furniture, eating at restaurants, etc. The college towns will definitely notice less money. 🫤

If they tank the US economy, destabilize global markets with threats of war, incite domestic unrest, and cause a run on the banks, then USD might lose its reserve currency status and they can replace it with a crypto scheme that runs on Phony Stark's "X" platform.

Each transaction is recorded on a blockchain and there is a small transaction fee. If Phony Stark owns the network, he collects all the transaction fees. In this case, it would be trillions of dollars. Also, he would keep a bunch of the crypto for himself, which would be worth $10's of Trillions.
