Do you stay awake at night trying to find anything negative at all, whether true or false regarding the economy, Trump or anything else that promotes your agenda?
Actually, if you look at the graphic on the link I posted above, the number of tourists to the U.S trended down in 2008, but then started increase in 2009, and continued upwards until 2015.
I'm sure the gun violence in this country has something to do with the downward trend. Who in their right minds would come to a country where gun violence is so commonplace it's a mainstay of American culture?
Now throw in Donald Trump and the world must think between those two things America has lost its mind.
Indirectly, Trump is to blame... the Left's election riots of 2016-17 spanned the whole country and had to scare the sh*t out of possible tourists.
What the F are you talking about? What riots? Sounds like FAKE NEWS! to me.
Or maybe you're thinking of the torchlight KKK rallies in the streets of the South last summer? Now that really could be a factor for people in Europe who lived through those once before...
As much as I would love to pin this on President Trump (and I'm sure his election into office may have some slight influence on tourism), an above poster is mostly correct in that the downward trend started part way through 2015.
If someone is scared of Trump i wouldn't advise them to go to The Philippines under Rodrigo Duterte.
Why? There are plenty of leaders that are not of the dictator variety in countries people would love to visit. Why is the Philippines the alternative to the US? Odd logic.
I had read a while back that terrorism fears had somewhat affected the amount of tourists coming to the U.S, in addition to other countries which have seen terrorist attacks in the last few years.
Speaking of tourism, remember when the Grifter-in-Chief promised to donate payments to his hotels to the US Treasury? Has he made good on this promise? Or is he still accepting foreign influence money? Oversight Dems ask for subpoena of Trump Organization | TheHill
In the past, conmen could just move on to another town to find new marks once folks caught on to the con. Apparently, in the present day, some folks persist in pledging loyalty to the biggest con job in American history. Above all, he's a CONfidence man. On the bright side, some folks are just as persistent in 'following the money' to reveal the con.
Interesting! I never heard that about Trump's promise to donate. It is, nevertheless, widely known that he's apparently a tight-fisted selfish, greedy guy who donates almost nothing. I remember the instance where he promised to provide a venue for free, but then underhandedly charged, after all.
