Our economy is doing much better now, than 6 months ago.

More Americans Traveled Abroad in 2015 Than Ever Before - Condé Nast Traveler

Am no fan of His Orangeness, but you cannot lay the blame for this mess at his feet.


USA has long dragged its feet in giving Poland and certain other European countries (mostly East) 90 day tourist visa travel (visa waiver program).


Reason? Simple, fear of visa overstays.


Many Eastern European countries aren't exactly the best places economically, socially and or for various reasons, and the American government worries that hordes of Polish and whoever else will board planes to come as "tourists" and never leave. Thus add to the numbers of those who abuse the VWP.




At Last, Hard Numbers About Overstaying Visas

There is no need to travel to Europe for business with today's video conference capabilities. My old company cut down on business travel and invested in videophone and video conference rooms. Europeans depend on US travelers to pay the highest prices and for their outrageous tips. This may be the end of spontaneous travel, e.g. finding a last minute deal on a Travel website, for would be US European travelers.

Without Visa requirements, could a person have stayed in Europe as long as they wanted?

Actually that is untrue. Not to mention that we may very well end up in trade wars with every one of our main trading partners, clue we will not win that sort of war not even you can believe that nonsense.

Obama did not have us under the threat of trade wars with all our trading partners, your boy set this in place and your boy owns it, for better or worse.
