Yes, tourism in the USA is down, particularly international tourism. Several reports indicate a significant decline in international visitor spending and arrivals. This downturn is impacting major tourist cities like Las Vegas and New York, and is projected to result in billions of dollars in lost revenue.  And yes I checked my source and you can too.

No, are you ?. If you actually read my post, you would see I admire Trump for this. Keeping all foreigners out of our great country by scaring the shite our of them. what a great strategy. FINALLY SOMETHING I LIKE ABOUT THE TRUMPSTER.

  Yea, he is a specimen.

I expect tourism to be down due to the constant misinformation the foreign press serves up.

People think the whole US is like  Washington Park, Chicago, that cops routinely stop you and ask for "papers", that Trump is rounding up folks here legally and deporting them, that normal US citizens are shooting everyone, etc..........

[Grape Ape]

and that is just US residents

It's not anything like that

Gotta hand it to funk, he’s right up there with the rest of the loony left that will help secure republican power for the foreseeable future Trump or no Trump. The success of Trumps agenda will carry on for at least the next 2-3 Presidential elections.

Keep going funk. You’re actually helping us out

[chaos]

No, are you ?.

I keep engaging you so....

[Primemuscle]

He's beyond help now - Lord knows what kinda fucked up reality he lives in his mind.

Can't / won't answer a simple straight forward question he hasn't got it in him to
Do so, just posts long word salad or copy & paste answers - the decline in his posting
Has become so obvious, its pointless being serious with him now.

Worry more about your own reality rather than mine.

The point is you are far too serious too much of the time, which makes it pointless and frustrating to converse with you. And yet, I keep trying. Shame on me.

Just so you know, simple questions cannot always be answered simply. Biden respected immigration policies, Trump ignores them. Is that simple enough for you? 

[Primemuscle]

You love the google, I assume you've already fact checked this and are embarrassed to post the results.

You should factcheck this with whatever resources you use and post the results.

What AI say about Google's accuracy?

What does Google say about AI's accuracy.?

Both are very interesting but may not be accurate.

Economy is wonderful, I've been swamped since the walking dead left office. Most people I know have had business pick up since Trump took over.

  President Trump expressed gratitude that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had floated him for a Nobel Peace Prize if he were able to successfully negotiate an end to the war between Russia and Ukraine.

“If he could end it without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its territory to the aggressor, had to, in a way, validate [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s vision of greater Russia, but instead could really stand up to Putin, to make it clear there must be a ceasefire,” Clinton said during a recent episode of the “Raging Moderates” podcast.   Trump responded, “That's very nice,” in response to Fox News host Bret Baier's remarks on Friday's Special Report aboard Air Force One. “I might have to start liking her again.”

Trump likes Hillary Clinton again.

Metrics aren't looking good, inflation is rising, jobs stagnating, dollar kinda meh, deficit accelerating, record debt....

I am sure your isolated n of 1 is more indicative though. wholesale food prices up like 38%.

N of 1, I like this -- I have never seen it before, so I had to look it up. It is the prefect response to those Getbig folks like Chaos who post their personal opinions, as if they are facts.

he was posting a real example of a small business seeing an uptick.

yes, it's a n of 1 example, but not an opinion.

As for the above, Putin annexed Crimea under Obama's tenure.

And Putin himself said the Ukraine war likely would not have started if Trump was President.

But don't let that ruin your meme.

        Don't worry I won't.  Putin says a lot of things I guess he loves America too in your eyes. He doesn't want to cause any descension among the American people, NO, not at all. After all He's a real man of honor.

[Grape Ape]

Do you think Putin would have invaded Ukraine if Trump was President?

He did not first term.
