With the turmoil and terrorism in our country, I am not surprised that it isn't a popular destination. There are now so many extra security measures. I know we went to Disney World which was a tall order in the first place, and now, it sounds like a real nightmare with the added security measures, and frankly, I think that scares many people. I can't imagine the horror it would be if something went "wrong" in one of the crowded areas there.
Look at the deaths in Chicago and other big cities, and our media is always on top of it. We see no positive stories.
This has nothing to do with Trump, but the unsafe conditions that Obama let fester.
Trying to attribute every negative thing to Trump shows nothing but continued desperation as the resistance grows weaker with the bonus of continuing to drive nails in the coffin of the Democratic Party, so keep it up!
Hey, maybe many were planning to come and not leave, which is popular, and now realize they would likely get the boot under the Trump administration!
All I know is that local travel around here is down. How do I know? Because I live near a huge beachfront campground that is usually filled years in advance. RVs, big expensive trailers, etc.
I take my dog walking there and the owner said this is the first time EVER that they are not filled to capacity. His theory, from what his usual campers are saying, is that people are too uncertain about the future. They don't know if they're going to lose their health insurance, they don't know what's going to happen.
These are people who come from all over the country, not locals. He said people are hesitant until they know what's going to happen. Of course, if health insurance is yanked away, people won't be spending money on vacations. Not the middle class. These cuts will kill the middle class and help the rich.
Same here in Western Colorado. We are a tourist area and the campgrounds / RV parks are seeing lower occupancy than in previous years. Normally they would be sold out every night over the July 4th holiday, and most night in July, they were only sold out 1 and from what I have been told, they will be lucky to be sold out 5 nights this month.
Yes the market rose steadily for 6 years (which the Republican Congress was in control the entire time) but the market has never jumped for a President's election with immediacy before like it did with Trump's election....in comparison, the Dow Jones lost 500 points the day after Obama was elected in 2008 and lost another 2.3% after he was reelected in 2012.

Ah! Outstanding. So you'll admit that the ballooning national debt is also a Republican problem-since the Republican Congress was in control the entire time. Your words, not mine.

Yes, the last 6 years when the debt was decreasing, for sure. Keep in mind the last 2 years of Bush and the 1st 2 years of Obama when the debt was at its peak, Dims controlled both the House and the Senate.
