Right. Comprehension is a problem only for people who are not conservative.
If that sort of notion doesn't more clearly demonstrate who has the comprehension problem(s) here more specifically, I don't know what could...
The eight day period is compared to the same period last year.
Seems the reaction from the better reasoned, informed and conservative pro-Trump folks in this forum either a) dismiss the data as a falsehood without any further explanation and/or b) can't understand or explain what these reports and numbers mean and/or c) don't want to understand or explain what these reports and numbers mean.
There's d) and e) as well, but I'll leave it at this to keep it civil...
All the way though the alphabet to "P" for Pavlovian. They've self trained to a conditioned response to anything even slightly critical of Trump.
If tourists are really voting with their feet, then this is the American way. Fine and dandy. I am also voting with my feet. I have not traveled out of the US in years, because there is a perception of unsafety.
If a traveler is worried about getting a hassle, stay home. I am the least likely person to be hassled, yet I really need to want to get somewhere before I will fly anywhere.
Hassles are a part of traveling anywhere these days. The bad people ruin it for the good people.

Just back from Thailand not too long ago. Europe not too long before that. Mexico many times and hoping to return again soon...
All making for some of the most memorable good times for me, my wife and children for many years now. Also for business.
That's about all the want needed for me to travel, "fly anywhere."
Just hoping the hassles don't get much worse, because waiting for TSA to do their thing these days is a lot of time wasted waiting in line, meaning you have to get to the airport a lot earlier than once upon a time. Would be sad too if foreigners stopped visiting America for the same reasons, but either way we let the terrorists win when fear begins to prevent us from going and coming and living the way we should be able.
I prefer tourists who look and sound like I do, speak English, Christian, regardless where they are from...
Wow! Xenophonia strikes again! I take it you dislike Chinese, Japanese and Indian tourists despite the fact that they spend a lot of money when they visit.
I guess if you were visiting France, you would speak French? Or if you visited Spain, you would speak Castilian Spanish?
Americans expect others to speak English regardless of where they are and what they are doing. We are so provincial.

I was kidding! Sarcasm! Kidding!!! Too funny...
I'm bi-lingual and enjoy speaking Spanish when I go to Mexico, but usually it is people in foreign countries who speak English for my benefit. Here in America on the other hand, any foreigner need anyone to speak their language instead of English and it's as if that's cause to make them unwelcome.
My mother couldn't speak a word of English when I was born in Chicago...
With that attitude, I'd wager you live somewhere where you don't really have to worry about tourism.
Edit: Sorry... did not catch that it was a joke. That's the level around here. A post like that seems perfectly normal in this setting.
Right. No worries, and also funny since I do live in a tourist town where I hear foreign languages around me all the time, pictures being taken in all directions and mostly smiling faces...
Sometimes a nuisance in some ways, but mostly a good thing I'd hate for Trump to muck up...
So they are that scared that somehow the president would ruin their vacation? Wow what a bunch of *******
Of course they are. They are scared they won't be able to get in or out of the US, and with good reason. Not being able to actually vacation or return home would ruin anyone's party.
