If are thinking about coming to the U.S. this summer for vacation, please do not. Things are bad here. Worse than the news is letting on, even. PLEASE don't come here. Things are only going to get worse this summer.
^--- it's worse than the news is letting on.
I know you weren't correcting me, but I went ahead and fixed it anyway :)

I read the entire article and not once do they mention this is due to Trump. They just say the current administration. God these fucking media outlets are spineless fucks. Did we have this net negative $12 billion dollar in tourism during the Biden admin? The media is so fucking scared or just complacent with Trump they try everything in their power to not openly criticism him. Fucking pussies
To be fair, this is much deeper than Trump. The cancer runs deep, in the veins of all the legislators, judges, advisors, and voters who enable this behaviour unchecked.

Might be something else too. Many people are so sick of hearing about certain people that they've set up filters to avoid any news about them. So what better way to get past that than to just keep the references generic enough to get the views through such blocks but still be accurate.

America First Policy
I dont think thats the issue buddy. Its the "America is now Fascist" Policy that makes people not want to visit.
i’d say it’s both: why would you risk being detained at the border, potentially be subject to general abuse when you’re in the country because you’re “foreign”, detained in the country for… who the fuck knows, AND because america first means your tourism money supports a country actively bullying your home country
You forgot "extrajudicially kidnapped and shipped to a country you're not a citizen of," as well.

Who wouldn't want to vacation in a country where one could be snatched up, held for weeks or even months, and finally deported? If you're very lucky, you'll be deported to your home country.

Not only tourism. Scientists are cancelling conference attendances of fear they‘ll get harassed or deported (which already happened). It’s such a shame because science need exchange.
and farm laborers, the owners are whining they have to do ACTUAL FARM WORK NOW.

Good. Dont come here. This country and the people are so messed up. They need a wake up call.
I used to think I might become a snowbird, but since 2016 I found the US visibly declined every year, and that accelerated sharpy during COVID and of course far more so now. Needless to say I'm not going in the short term, and I'm not hopeful the country will still exist in the long term.
florida, was a favorite destination for canadian snowbirds, but the state is sinking into the ocean, plus desantis wouldnt do anything about hurricane related infastructure/insurance. and then theres the overwhelming amount of invasive species that florida has, and many people base thier "Exotic pets operation there" for a reason. if florida dint have climate that resembles central and south america subtropica/tropical climate, it will be another run of the mill texas, lousiania or alabama.

Let's fucking go! Keep it up everyone, make people here really see and feel the consequences.
I'm under no illusion that anyone who voted for this will "feel bad" or regret their vote. As we have been seeing the people who voted for this do not regret their decision perse. However, the hate that fuels them will only take them so far. If things get bad enough quick enough they might be able to remember it the next time (if there ever is one). I think the cult following of Trump and their emotional sunk cost fallacy won't let them see that voting for Trump was a bad idea, but there is a small chance they will recognize and reject it in whoever comes next.
I'm under no illusion the above will actually happen, I just think it's the best that can be hoped for.
I work with some of those "haters". They will never blame Trump. Even when their wallets are getting hurt, they will just blame Democrats and the world.
One haters I work with worship Trump and she is an Asian. How ironic

The Olympics and World Cup should be relocated away from the US.
the olympics and world cup federation/organization, is even more corrupt or as corrupt as these host countries, they will do anything if they arnt paying for building the stadium at all. people had problems with ME countries sportswashing these organizations with thier oil money.
As much as I agree with don't go there, the Olympics were in Russia and Brazil not too long ago and the World Cup in Qatar and Russia. If those places were fine (which, from the looks of them, they werent) then the US is still ok to handle them for now.

I'm happy because this will hurt Florida's crappy economy the most.
which is mostly sustained because of DISNEY being in the state, floridas citrus and houseplant exports probably isnt going to make much of a difference.

I live in a major tourist city, and the word around town is that there will be a steep decline from foreign visitors, but many are still coming anyway, because they've had their vacations booked for months, and it's too late to change.
But if this keeps up, next summer will be a bloodbath.

The only reason you should come to America is because you're picking me up to take me out of America.
