The reality is only a few dense liberal areas are a war zone.
Sure it is. How many countries in Europe have you visited and (if you visited any ) what happened to you there?

Less traffic on our roads sounds great to me. Plus these foreigners don't believe in tipping for our American restaurant employees.
Lol. A lot of them just have no idea that the restaurant employees here often paid below minimum wage in direct compensation.

Before you say it, yes I give Obama credit for signing Republican bills the last 6 years which also contributed to stabilizing the markets for growth to recover from the disaster brought on by Harry Reid & Nancy Pelosi driving the economy into the ditch.


By the way, how much did the 911 "tourists" cost us?

Now throw in Donald Trump and the world must think between those two things America has lost its mind.

And it would be difficult to disagree.
"Gun Violence"? At a 45 year low, unless you live in Democratic run cities like Baltimore, Detroit, St Louis, Where the murder rates are driving up the numbers for the entire country.

Incidents like this, which just become news of the week in our violent society, carry reverberations around the world when they happen and make foreigners (especially non-Europeans) afraid to come here:

It doesn't help the country's perception when we have a president who completely ignores hate crimes unless they are carried out by a Muslim.

Well considering the number of Americans/and non-Americans killed by a couple of Islamist sects is over 3,100 dead and 10,000 Injured since 2001 I would say your example of 2 Indians killed by one crazy person is dwarfed by comparison.

As a matter of fact Indians of Hindu, Christian, and Sikh religions have also been killed by the thousands by Islamist in India since 2001.

And in just the last three years thousands of Muslims have been killed in Myanmar. Religious violence can and does happen everywhere.

I guess the OP forgot about the 2 hurricanes that hit the US in 2017.

Key West got hit pretty hard but they probably don't know places like that get a lot of tourism.

How much better would they have done without Irma?

Just saying that these things need analysis deeper than the puddle-like depth of President = Tourism with no other factors contributing whatsoever.

So in other words, multiple whole countries in Europe have lower or on par murder rates with the safest and wealthiest suburbs in US. What did you prove exactly? Lol.

UK (yes, all of it, 66 million population) has about the same rate as Irvine.
