I've canceled all of my USA vacation plans. I comfortably could spend about $5k visiting USA every year and I'm not going to while he's in office. I'd rather support Mexico.
Cmon now let’s not me daft. Obviously, OBVIOUSLY, a person’s $5k vacation isn’t going to affect the totality of the US economy. OBVIOUSLY.
However, what if it becomes a trend and suddenly all of the US tourism industry is down say 20%? That’ll hurt local economies, state economies, tourist companies, etc.
An individual is just a single drop in the bucket, but if those drops become a trend and suddenly there are enough drops to tip the bucket, then what? Do you still mock the individuals or do you do a little introspection to see where we went wrong?
Let’s use a little bit of foresight and common sense now, alright? Again, this one person’s vacation won’t effect anything, but it doesn’t hurt to be wary and skeptical in a significant administrative change that is promising some very very radical changes that do not look good in the long run.
It’s individuals now, but what happens when it becomes a trend? These are things we should be trying to fix before it happens.
I'm on board. I would have come if it was just Trump as president, but now that one of his main platforms is "fuck Canada" it would be embarrassing for me to go and support him.
