The thing is, no matter what he does, he can't control public opinion. He has taken a shit in the punch bowl, no one will ever drink it again...period. You just can't undo something like that.

Is america tired of winning so much?

Sitting here in Florida just waiting for that prig in Tallahassee to say we need an income tax! Pay attention.

They have no bargaining position. They are inept. The Economy continues to grind to a tragic halt, and the incompetent Administration can't even negotiate the simplest of deals. It turns out that lifelong Grifters do not make good business decisions. Trump always disappoints. #trumpcession

And Disney is seeing the loss on their financials

Manufacturing, tourism and international reputation and trust. It all goes together.

Maybe the tourists don't want to spend time in jail before getting sent home. Here's just one recent example: www.nbcsandiego.com/news/politic...

Isn't that what Trump wanted? America #1? You can't take the positive aspects, there are always two sides of the medal (about which he doesn't care, as we know). Sad for the people with a different meaning (which he also doesn't care about). Just Canada alone will have a huge share on this chart.

Said that Park facilities will be closed this year and sections of Parks will just have to be shut to the public. If you were planning on a visit to an NP, this is certainly not the year to do it. You cannot fly to most National Parks, you must drive.And when non-Americans scoff at how few Americans

TX, La., and TN are prominent additions. Maybe Carolinas, GA, AZ, UT. But most states complete aggressively domestically. E.g. Wyoming runs lots of ads in Chicago.

Right? Rental vehicles, mom & pop campgrounds, motels, restaurants, gas stations, gift shops, stores, markets, etc. All will be hit hard. Yes, especially around our once pristine National Parks. And who knows what will become of those? No one to take care of them. It's just so unnecessary.

Good point. Didn’t think of that. Small towns will get hurt a bit.

The NPs have a huge economic impact on surrounding communities. So not only are there now fewer staff at the parks… there will be a lot less business for local hotels, restaurants, etc.

Why is that a smart effort though?

Trump managing the economy is guaranteed failure

My brother in London came here to help me celebrate a special birthday but otherwise he absolutely would not.

BIDEN!!! Just kidding. Dow Jones down again >1000 points today. Along with the USD approaching all-time-low to the Swiss Franc.

Yep and many of us having been screaming about this for weeks now 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Weird - I thought that was the NASDAQ.

They don’t want to be kidnapped and put in a camp or worse. Smart move.

Well, that ain’t good

It’s so tiresome.

and I used to spend money there... more than even the $800 limit per visit. So... that inflow of money, however modest, from Canada to the US has also stopped.

I’m never travelling to the US again unless I absolutely have to for work. Many of my blue-state education clients are there and it would still seem too much of a slight to them not to go.

💯 The economy hasn't even begun to feel the consequences of GOP47's actions. I think the squeeze will start in May and by June/July the pain will be real. Incoming cargo ships increased earlier, as companies front-loaded on inventory. I read that many that come in now are leaving empty.

I believe there were concepts of calculations.

Agree 💯

Reaping what trump has sowed

As someone who travels internationally a fair bit, I’m concerned that a lot of the international flights are going to be curtailed and therefore more costly. I mean, there’s not a lot of demand to go to places like Pyongyang is there?

Get your guns and pronouns under control

😡😡😡

BOYCOTT THE USA! I hope ALL tourists say to themselves, "Do I want to spend my money in a fascist country? Uh, no. Let's go somewhere that doesn't arrest tourists at the border, honey!" Amerika is effed.

Non Americans are trying to figure out how to not buy American products. Travelling to the US is of course number 1 on that list.

Spending money in the US is absolutely out of the question. I don't intend to feed the Beast.

I live in an area heavily reliant on tourism. This summer is going to seriously hurt.

Hmmm…the notable genius demonstrating his most incredible intelligence? I wonder if ANY of his congressional or Cabinet servants have explained to him that high paying manufacturing jobs are NOT coming back to the U.S. and that VERY FEW Americans would take any that might come back?

No one’s coming here and no one wants us. I’m so mad at myself that I didn’t escape before the rest of the world started to really hate us.

I live here and don’t even want to right now.

I'm a Lovecraft reader so I would love to go to Providence.

And the plummeting air safety situation after the FAA was DOGEd ...

Well, at least it will be a playground for the super rich and we’ll get the honor of being bombarded with stories of celebrity spaceflights and cruel AI-informed trolling.

And don’t forget mass gun violence

You would think common sense would put a stop to this madness. But Fox and newsmax are convincing MAGA that complaining about Trump wrecking the economy is "unpatriotic". And they're buying it.

I live here and agree. My country will not recover in my lifetime (I'm 73).

I would say that it is not even the regime itself that will make the US a pariah state for decades to come. It is the fact that 20% of the people here really support that 51st state and Greenland bullshit.

It is the Republican Party’s policy is to create a low wage manufacturing industry. 60% of Republicans believe that they would be worse off if they were to work in manufacturing. Start getting use to $11.00 per hour for a 12 hour shift.

So let's get rid of both... ;-(

It’s ok, he has managed to destroy both in record time

a recession would be almost be a relief at the rate the evonomy is cratering we’ll be lucky if its only a recession

The fed chair who saved us from the last mess djt created

We foreigners are definitely out!

It’s on a slide since 2024. Why, genocide scaring people away?

“Change in” means this is a rate of change compared to the previous year, not the total number of visitors <3 So when it went negative that’s the point where it stayed dropping overall

“You’llsee him inyour nightmares You’ll see him in yourdreams He’ll appear out of nowhere but He ain’t what heseems You’ll see him in yourhead On the tv screen Hey Buddy,I’m warning He’s a man,he’s a guru Youra microscopic cog In his catastrophic plan Designed and directed by his red right hand

Might be more than one that needs to leave office to restore world confidence sufficient to travel here.

I'm sure travel advisories from other countries and our unwarranted and unjustified trade war against our allies has nothing to do with tourism being down 🫠 www.reuters.com/world/uk/bri...

And don't forget supply chain logistics, which employs ~44M

"Yes, for so many reasons" #richkid #amateur

Good

Manufacturing, historically unionized. Tourism pays dirt.

Too much fear/uncertainty, exactly what Trump wants & what they voted for, When they thought it would only impact illegals. People travel to the US from countries where they only reside but aren't citizens of, what if CBP finds something they just don't like about you. Sent to a Private Prison?

God, what a disaster

I understand the suicide drop but why such a steady decline in the months before? Ideas?

Ya think America able to survive the remaining 1370 days left ? Possible ?

👇

My mate is going on a stag do to Barbados. Was all booked for Las Vegas. A small example but times it by thousands from all over the world. Those Disneyland fast passes aren't gonna sell themselves.

It’s not just the jobs. The taxes paid by tourists are keeping some governments afloat. Florida in particular would find it impossible to balance their budget without sales/resort taxes collected from tourists.

As long as we have the Mad Felon King in charge, you sure can’t blame tourists for not coming here.

Maybe it's time to overhaul the visa application process to make it more welcoming + also not have it that you pay a ton of money for an application that may or may not be declined, especially when you have countries that don't charge for visa applications Oh and also, not treating everyone guilty

Yeah, and US tourism is fucked.

The stupid part, it is all self inflicted. One man owns this.

Aren't you 100% sure his rationale is if they don't visit, they can't overstay? Like if you don't test COVID, there won't be any positive results and therefore less new cases?

And healthcare spending is about four times greater than the trade deficit; would seem like improving health care system would have a bigger impact on US economy than shrinking the trade deficit.

Fear of retribution. Seen Stephen Miller’s eyes recently? Demented looking.

All that money going elsewhere…just like the agricultural customers. Winning.

Canada will have many European tourists too.

My French and German friends/family were avid US tourists … no more. Many other (safer) places to visit during their 6 weeks of vacation.

Yes, my thoughts are with you and everyone else who didn't vote for Trump.

What is there to say other than… That’s just wonderful!! Thank you world.

Yep, Scott. None of this really makes any sense.

Then take into account those internal people effected by mass firings and economic issues maybe not taking that vacation/trip

Why would I come to a country that will deport me For expressing myself On social media? Just sayin

Math is hard.

But the tourism industry doesn’t employ younger white males as much as manufacturing does.

Maybe the risk of being arrested and imprisoned on arrival is off putting for travellers?

The data is not nearly as bad as that chart makes it look. bsky.app/profile/wand...

That’s the price paid for having this insanity going on there…. bsky.app/profile/cher...

It’s going to be a brutal year in hospitality. Who in their right mind would come here?

Not for long…

Uh, not exactly…
