Just arrived from Berlin to an empty Dulles airport in DC. Assumed because Heathrow outage. “No,” says my WashFlyer cabbie, the past month has been super slow. “Fewer tourists, fewer business people. This is not normal, believe me.” Says he’s looking for a new job because he needs to pay his bills.

trunpy cat hates mexicans, blacks and muslims
if this continues then it may strip the last of the non scams away
Glad entry was normal and you weren’t hassled.
🙄
I hope that the situation improves soon, and the city can regain its vibrancy and energy.

plan to fight back. Unlike during Covid, the government of Trump will not bail the airlines out with loans to see them through the tough times, like the next 4 years.
True evil thrives on chaos and destruction
The airport is obvious, the hotels and conference centers will start losing their contracts. AV companies that support the conference centers will be crushed.
It's covid all fucking over again. With no government support
I wouldn't take the risk nowadays.
About this soon.
Can say that from the other side of the world not many people expressing a desire to head stateside, the stories of them reading your phones at airports is a real talking point
Here a French citizen has been rejected entry because of text messages on his phone, critical of Trump.

And if you say yes they can revoke your visa for having text conversations critical of Trump https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/world/europe/us-france-scientist-entry-trump-messages.html
“Customs officers are allowed to search the cellphone, computer, camera or any other electronic device of any travelers crossing the border, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, although the agency says that such instances are rare.“
Good. AZ doesn't deserve one tourist cent.
Maybe a psycho POTUS is bad for business
Did you notice any other effects or changes during your visit, such as changes in local businesses or community events?
The bit they want to keep quiet is the FLOOD UP!
Ffs 🙄
Citizens of the World need to stay away from the U.S. to save their own lives from Trump.
And we need to shut his dictatorship down.
I plan to vacation in Canada this summer.
I will wear "Never Trump" and Maple Leaf T-shirts so you will know I stand with you and NOT with this abomination.

pretty sure at least
The gutting of our institutions will trickle down until the entire economy collapses.
The only reason i would go to the USA now is to join in with the protests against him.
I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that each of the big three Capitol region airports - Dulles, National and BWI - have seen a drop in domestic traffic too.
There are slow times for cabbies.
There are slow seasons for tourism.
Other cabbies will be happy that he gave up
Fucking moron
Tourists have tourist visas and are allowed to visit the country. If you’re referring to the Canadian woman who was detained at the US Mexico border, she had no intentions of just visiting
She stated that she intended to build a life in California but told the State Dept that her stay was only temporary.
You can’t lie to the immigration authorities and expect to stay in the USA
The US contributes more than other nations and it’s characterized as treated them badly when we decide to pull back on the contributions.
We’re doing fine.
It’s only those that lost the election that thing the sky is falling

She said at her presser that she'd been dealing with 'difficult, powerful men since I was in my 20's'
This was after being asked about 2028 & Trump!
It’s sort of like a World Series of professional soccer teams
Trump put out an EO establishing a federal task force to oversee federal preparations - and put himself in charge

as such the amount of boycotting will likely to be much higher then the boycotting of for example american military gear
Please listen to me, unless you like the weather in an El Salvador prison. Do not do it.
Crime is once again running rampant in Washington, DC, too.
you might see an increase or a massive decrease
and the country is shipping people to slave prisons in el salvador with no court
you'd have to be stupid to come here
commented on how sparsely populated the terminals were along the way, especially Orlando, which is usually teeming with souls!
Their boycott of US is in progress. The rest of the world is smarter than US in dealing with his majesty numbnuts!
D’ohge!
Strike and boycott. Billionaires are running our govt puppets. They will only hear us if we speak their language: $$$

The admin's saying that dangling sending citizens to that El Salvadorean prison camp. (No, it's not even vaguely legal, but I don't foresee that stopping them.)
It may very well move from "Tesla vandals are domestic terrorists" to "people who say¹
