Trump's policies could cost the U.S. economy $90 billion this year in lost tourism and export revenue. Many foreign visitors are avoiding the U.S. over concerns about increased hostility at the border, including reports about European tourists being detained for weeks in U.S. immigration centers.

To all you MAGA: We told you so.

It wasn't even hard to predict.

You people are about to get the lives that stupid people earn.

I see Florida towns trying every day to woo back Canadians with banners and signs welcoming them.

You guys voted for this ---- show.

Enjoy.

Just today I had a Ontario Corp call to calc a gain on sale of their condo in FL because they don't want to deal with the lunatics at customs searching their cell phones and laptops.

They will vacation in Mexico until this wave of fascism dies out.

I live in a small East Coast Florida beach town. Some businesses are already starting to complain about the slow start to summer.

No worries Florida.

California will gladly welcome Canadian tourists and we won't insult them behind their backs.

We will gladly trade with them. In fact Newsom is suing Trump for his illegal manipulation of the stock market and his manipulation of trade between California and other nations. California might even team up with our allies against Trumpy. Won't that be fun? Just like in the movies!
