Calling Canada 51st state

I don't trust air travel.
I don't want to run into ICE agents if I travel by car, stoping at a restaurant, hotel, etc.

Refuse to travel through southern states at all. Basically we're hunkered down to see what happens.

Maybe we'll learn it's not a good idea to elect a guy who bankrupted a city to be president.

Or maybe not.

change. Why would the very people that ICE and Customs/Border Control are most harassing/targeting (along with their supporters/family members) come to the US? Maybe FIFA will decide, instead,to add those matches to those already scheduled for Mexico and Canada. And... maybe they SHOULD.

Then there is the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles... What a potential cluster... F

Which the administration wants to completely either defund or sell to private parties, what is there to visit in the US?

Sorry, whether it’s for culture or food, or history or architecture, there are so many other countries I would want to visit over the US. Can’t find a way to be a booster for American tourism, when it doesn’t deserve it.

Oh and I don’t think people like end up being arbitrarily “detained” (what most people call arrested or kidnapped) for no reason by masked thugs with 3 letter acronyms.

If Americans gave a fuck about their tourism industry it wouldn’t have elected this psychopath. It frankly deserves to feel the consequences. I hope people in the industry feel the pain.

If you remember the ads, they went "They check in. They don't check out."

And so it goes with foreign visitors today. "You may be allowed in. You may or may not be allowed to leave."

Relatives of mine, have close relatives by marriage, that are in Europe.
Citizens of EU countries.

None will visit the US as long as Trump is in office.

And some had wanted to enjoy our natural wonders,
Especially visit some of America’s National Parks.

BUT they say why bother now…..Trump has taken that away,
Cut funding, cut staff, etc. Would rather not go now.

Unbelievable how they're gaslighting the American people. Probably waiting for something big to happen so they can pin the blame on the Democratic Party for the 2025 Depression they're hurtling towards.

Wife and I just canceled a 3 week trip in Scotland. Travel agents, rental cars, B and B, tours, flights. All due to Trump. We are talking about a lot of money lost for many business's.
