Could it be that Trump has tanked the tourist industry?
Could it be that Trump has forced hardworking immigrants into hiding, removing their contributions to the economy, both on the production and consumption side?
Could it be that some people just refuse to participate fully in this economic environment for fear being assaulted by ICE ?

Could the economy be in trouble because of these reasons among others?
