there is an irony, i will admit, in donald trump destroying the hospitality and hotel industries

If a friend from abroad asked me about traveling to the US right now, I world advise against it. That’s where we are as a society two months in to Trump 2.0.

My 30th wedding anniversary next year.
We wanted to get remarried by a fake Elvis in Las Vegas.
Kitch I know, but we have wanted to since our 20th.
It never quite happened.
No fucking chance it is happening until that man and his ideology has died.

Myrtle Beach and areas of Florida are going to be dead next winter.

redskiesbynight.bsky.social•3 days ago

And Ron DeSantis happily boosts all of it, as if tourism plays no part in Florida's economy or tax revenue...

At the end of this year i am retiring and I planned to take my 92‘s old dad on the Queen Mary and travel to New York. We skipped the plan two weeks ago. Maybe Notth Korea or Iran are an alternative

Some businesses near the border with Canada have seen their reservations drop by 90% since inauguration of this Republican POTUS.

We have good Canadian friends we have met up with in Ogunquit Maine annually for several years now. Not this year, and I don’t blame them.

Well, considering he managed to bankrupt a casino…

Man alive, I hadn't even thought about that. He'll probably take over national park lands and build hotels for his ilk.

babsi54.bsky.social•2 days ago

Same here. I will tell my friends not to come. I would be afraid for them

macca1950.bsky.social•3 days ago

The British government has already warned about travelling to the US! I live about five miles from the border, but thankfully it’s sea miles although I’ve do make a point of spitting over the side when the ferry crosses into American waters…

prosediva.bsky.social•3 days ago

This whole tourism issue was one of my early "oh shit I hadn't thought of that happening" moments last Spring as I was getting on a flight to CA. It's going to crush the industry.

wolfgabe.bsky.social•3 days ago

The people who thought Donald would only deport the bad ones are getting a very rude awakening right now. This is generally how you make people sour on your immigration policy real fast

“covid lockdowns are killing the hospitality and tourism industries!”

(i would do the sarcastic pikachu text but i don’t have the energy)

mwsl.bsky.social•3 days ago

Watch him ban casinos next

miladymigraine.bsky.social•3 days ago

He’s got a lot of experience doing it

tippsu.bsky.social•3 days ago

Why not? He bankrupted three casinos.

dirtybubbles.bsky.social•3 days ago

Times of mental instability is here!

jasonfrantz.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thought about this watching a unite-here picket at a fancy downtown hotel today... like does this downturn help or hurt...

beansagain.bsky.social•3 days ago

Soooo. He and his buddies can buy things(properties, amusements and attractions)on the cheap. Remember, he's a real estate guy...supposedly. it's always about Donny.

annaliisavilppu.bsky.social•1 day ago

He’s already really good at destroying casinos, so why not the whole hotel and hospitality industries?

karinmp.bsky.social•2 days ago

ICE should raid Trump hotels.

billypilgrim65.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s a shame because one of the real pleasures of this site and formerly the other place was people sharing amazing restaurants , bars, the absolute cornucopia if food options you have from coast to coast

lolmao500.bsky.social•3 days ago

So make every hotel in the US just like his own shitty hotels

gregpat87.bsky.social•3 days ago

It won't hurt him, he only caters to Saudi princes and Russian oligarchs.

mikevago.bsky.social•3 days ago

He used to have to bankrupt one hotel at a time!

birdingfella.bsky.social•3 days ago

Guess he and his gang hate foreigners enough to kill tourism

prw65.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s amazing what racism can do

birdingfella.bsky.social•3 days ago

I mean they seem to hate white foreigners, too. If you're not American you're bad, hence their hostility to Canada and Europe

billyofohio.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is not the American way 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

you guys get that i made the joke, right, like, i obviously get it, lol

ugh someone take my fucking posting keys away

charlesxavier.bsky.social•3 days ago

And they said BlueSky could never replace Twitter

golikehellmachine.com•3 days ago

it’s not like we weren’t warned!

tilmonedwards.com•3 days ago

He did somehow run /multiple/ casinos into bankruptcy, after all.

monkeypeter.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ironic that his new schitck is about various people 'not having the cards'.

avernalaw.bsky.social•3 days ago

He was always a shitty businessman. When he built the Taj Mahal in NJ, no bank would lend him the money at the normal interest rate. He had to pay extra and the casino just couldn't pay the extra interest.

tilmonedwards.com•3 days ago

impossible to explain why his rate was so bad. maybe a conspiracy. we may never know.

avernalaw.bsky.social•3 days ago

Totally impossible.

avernalaw.bsky.social•3 days ago

He was so awful that Fred Trump had to buy $3 million in chips at Trump Plaza and the NJ casino commission had to investigate it as a fraudulent purchase/loan.

barryation.bsky.social•3 days ago

And the whole time he was very publicly, and for no reason, firing people with disabilities and no other hindrance to their ability to revive the dying AC he seemed hell bent on snuffing out with his incompetence.

barryation.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah, I was thinking "im like a ten minute drive from the bankruptcy disaster that is Atlantic City. How the fuck did anybody in this area vote for this?

I suppose if you've got one of those five million dollar golden visas it would be safe to visit the United States. But even that's not a safe bet if homleland security finds out you criticized an episode of the apprentice in a MySpace post when you were in college.

sarahvb.bsky.social•3 days ago

Like he cares anymore? Seriously. Any despot who wants his attention will fund his hotels, and the rest isn’t his problem.

michelleabeyta.bsky.social•3 days ago

Take your stock out of US travel industries.

Like YESTERDAY.

avernalaw.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's what he does best

navyfungi.bsky.social•3 days ago

Donald doesn’t have to worry. He can always rely on his oligarch friends.

annabellelecter.bsky.social•2 days ago

Trump take fun, Trump take library, Trump take Social Security, Trump take tourism

This is one of the many reasons, Why all authoritarian economies decline. Next massive investment declines, As investors find the atmosphere too unpredictable.

jrn344.bsky.social•3 days ago

He’s gonna start housing the maga militia at Trump Towers

joenuno.bsky.social•3 days ago

Look. He owns a few hotels. He likes bankruptcy. So yes he’s trying to kill that business.

emmersongrant.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hell no we won’t go.

thewhiner.bsky.social•3 days ago

*the rest of the hospitality and hotel industry

$100 B tourism industry gets hit

pitaenigma.bsky.social•3 days ago

Next up he's gonna bankrupt the casinos!

allgoldeverything.bsky.social•2 days ago

But he’s good for business!!

barnett-matt.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s not called irony; it’s called a track record.

1american10.bsky.social•3 days ago

Well he already did that to his own hotels.

jojowi.bsky.social•2 days ago

In Germany we have a traveling warning for countries like Afghanistan, Iran and the USA. A nice row to be one of. Congrats.

jackrussell02.bsky.social•3 days ago

We live in an area that has a lot of tourists in the summer - they oftentimes bring in kids on visas to work in the various shops and restaurants, and I start to wonder whether they will be able to get workers.

ravenna321.bsky.social•3 days ago

When are the GOPs and industry leaders going to step up to rein him in? When a tipping point is reached, fealty to Trump vs. reelection chances / profit margins tanking? By then it'll be too late.
