A Large part of Wyoming's (my state) economy is tourism. National Parks, National college Finals rodeo, frontier days and much more. I'm a local musician and most the people filling bars and tip jars are tourist and we fucked ourselves 🤬 I'm so pissed at maga
Do you think Farson's little ice cream will survive without tourism? A whole lot of little towns are going get a big wake call when small businesses close down and there is no tax dollars to help support them. They aren't going get help with road construction either.
My co-worker was at Disney for spring break two weeks ago. He mentioned how much easier it was to get around because of fewer crowds. I’m not sure he associated that with the economy, but I immediately thought of that. Disney during spring break is slow… that’s not normal. 🤷🏾♀️
I thought so too, but looking it up, there are a ton of border towns that depend on tourism alone for revenue and just to survive. The majority of them vote red.
Maybe because his hatred of this ‘fat, bloated’ country is impossible to ignore at this point. He told us during his first term that Americans need to be more like North Koreans.
Nothing new here: Trump lies continually. He just says what he wishes were true, and believes that if he SAYS it, it will be true. In his mind, he’s that powerful. Magical thinking, delusional-call it what you’d prefer, but it’s still false.And it will cost the USA BILLIONS of dollars.
Wow....I guess the WH thinks trotting him out to give these stupid answers provides great face time with the public. All it does is confirm he is clueless about what is happening in the US and that he doesn't understand the impacts on all of us non-billionaires.
We feel the same way. Not losing any sleep over the idea of not going to the US anytime soon. I sort of think our vacation last summer may be our last US vacation for many many years to come.
In his mind, it doesn't directly affect him so "no big deal" - he'd feel the same about dead people in the street, no big deal except SS would have to drive around them.
Q: what do you call a voter that screamed how we need Trump because of past inflation and now approves of the job Trump is doing as inflation revs up again?
It is a massive deal to Florida, Texas, and Nevada.
It is a major concern financially for millions of Americans that depend on it.
My Canadian friends (Ontario & BC) are coming to California and not Florida this year, or any year Trump is in office.
A lot of us, myself included, won’t come at all. Not even blue states.
I travel frequently to the US and am going to miss visiting. I already miss it. But I’m not stepping foot on the other side of the border until the orange guy is gone and democracy is back in business!
The 51st state nonsense was enough for most of us to boycott travel. Then the tariffs made us even angrier, but now it’s actually just dangerous to come because of everything going on with ICE. I don’t know any Canadians that want to step foot in the US right now.
It took quite a bit of convincing to get them to come visit California. But we’ve been vacationing together as much as possible for years now. One friend sold her condo in Florida three weeks ago and she’s so happy. We gotta help her spend some of that cash.🤣🤣
Suuure Dumpy, tell yourself those lies! Remember that YOU wouldn't be a big deal either w/out your slumlord, KKK member, crooked father leaving you $800 million. Your celebrity is allllll about those inherited Benjamins plus the bigotry you wave around like dirty panties to thrill the stoopids.
Did you learn a new big word today don? Let’s see when it gets worse and his maga are homeless who work in the travel industry. History is not on your side, hate and racism are not values most of the international world supports
Look at the MAGA hats on the desk. He’s such a disgrace. If we somehow survive this cancer and clown of a “leader”, they’ll need to fumigate that office.
Remember one thing , prior to his blowhard needless tarrrifs on allies , tarriffs were only at 20% more or less , now it is his job to bring it down to LESS THAN 20% NOT MORE THAN 125% , that is the crux of the matter
Oh, because tourists aren’t coming to the US. Certainly not us Canadians. So this con artist will try to sucker contractors to Gaza and take them for their money when he goes bankrupt again. You know, the usual Trump thing.
It'd almost be worth it to be in a coma until it's over - I'm back to the being startled awake because this old fool stays up most of the night, doing dumbass stuff..
Not a big deal? R-i-i-i-ght. And why are those tacky caps on his desk during an interview? Is he pitching a new version, or are they still made in China?
the dipshit has no clue or just doesn't care, hard to say. wait until companies start pumping the breaks on meetings, conferences and conventions. Nonprofits are likely taking hits as soon as the election results came in as well. Tourism is not just going to the Beach.
FIFA Club World Cup match attendance’ll be a test. Ticket sales are low - and no wonder. Eg Inter Milan v Al Ahly at Miami, Egyptian fans have to apply for ESTA correctly and have flights and accommodation sorted months in advance and could still risk deportation on arrival for any trivial reason.
Yep, that’s right, not gonna affect you at all when you lose your job, your house maybe even your car. It’s not gonna matter at all. The tourists are staying away from America because of our dictatorship government, but hundreds of thousands of small businesses which depend almost entirely on
Twenty year old data but yes, tourism is a big deal.
In the U.S., tourism is either the first, second, or third largest employer in 29 states, employing 7.3 million in 2004, to take care of 1.19 billion trips tourists took in the U.S. in 2005.
There’s his ‘tell’ right there at the end of the clip. That funny little inhale through the nose and then mouth. It means I’ve run out of stuff to say and so I’m just gonna start babbling now. Listen out for it. It’s the end of the first verse and the introduction to the bullshit chorus…
Exactly! That in-breath through the nose means lying and more lies incoming. I’ve been saying that since the first time we had to listen to all the lies.
Tell that to the airlines, hotels, restaurants, and all the attractions that rely on tourism dollars for a substantial portion of their income stream. Such an ignorant man.
The damage done in less than 100 days will take years to unravel in the US.... From a generational perspective, it will be decades with nations once referred to as allies. It is done.
Ha! I always try to respond to the specific comment based on the little comment box on the bottom but when they come in too quickly it can be confusing. Trust that no sane person on Bluesky will ever agree with our moron president. 😆
Anyone who wants to give trump a bribe undercover : go to a trump hotel or buy shares on his shitty company on the stock market... so if only other countries treated trump like the terrorist he is, sure... but other countries have zero balls
Kyiv is shaking from bombs and all I read from US is that orange fuck said some shit. Fucking grow some balls, kick that fucker out and kick some russian asses already.
If I know this, how come the reporters didn’t know to follow it up with this fact?
“U.S. tourism … is projected to face a significant loss of around $90 billion in 2025 due to a drop in international arrivals and boycotts of U.S. goods, according to Goldman Sachs and other financial institutions.
Unfortunately, one reason is that he cherry picks ass kissing journalists to be part of this press events. Another reason is that too many journalists are ass kissers…
True but then THAT would make the news - "journalist presses Trump about the dollar or as mentioned above billions lost in tourism & he decides to prohibit their access to his press events"
When other countries were taken over by monstrous dictators, used to wonder why the people didn’t just leave but now get it. Don’t want to live here but it’s the only place I’ve ever known so don’t know where to go even if could afford to escape.
Oh Goldman Sachs, so underestimated our goal. We (the world) are looking to wipe out the entire $1 trillion industry. All it will take is a few more teenagers strip-searched and deported, or a singer disallowed, or maybe politicians he doesn't like being refused entry.

It's a small problem.
It's a problem, but not one we can solve.
It's a problem, but not mine to solve.
I'd laugh if I weren't so busy being angry.
A: a racist.

The sheer arrogance and stupidity of Donald Trump is astonishing.

Can we survive on Confederate tourists?
Y'all got sweet tea?
Trumps bs immigration and snatching people.
We are not coming back.
They are paring down schedules that are normally pretty robust this time of year.
I'm sure the companies losing trade will think the same too.
Fixed it.
Maybe by end of month, it will be in the RED.
Then....we will here the truth when HIS wallet is hurting....

The US should be treated like Russia
