"Perhaps the bleakest factoid is that the US is even less popular as a tourist destination than Nazi Germany in the 1930s." This is a really big deal on so many levels. It's also so damn depressing. Trump really does ruin everything.

This made me laugh so hard I cried. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚ Woman tricked 3,400 MAGA into buying a blank book entitled "Biblical Proof That Trump Will Save America" and told them God said only the special ones can read it, so if it's blank for you - take it up with God.
