All I had to do was read the title. It says BOON!!! But the Commies at Forbes try to put a wet blanket on it. They have no idea if Trump will close blue cities down. If anything, Trump will order the Military in to secure them!!!! Boom!!! And they’ll do it!!! It must suck to go thru life with a half empty glass Mr Gristle. Another one of your failed Google searches.

So those who are from overseas- will get a taste of NJ' and the goodness that it brings-...besides bad skin, shitty accents, tiny italian men and egos' bigger than NYC.

If you didn't like american before you saw NJ, just wait till after a weekend in NJ to see how shitty it really is.

Biden’s idea for increasing tourism was to let 20 million illegals into the country.

The vast majority of tourist states are feeling the pinch though. It's not just Canada either, it's Europe and Asia that are going elsewhere. Not a trend that the US can stomach for another year let alone 4 of em. It doesn't need to be so adversarial either as it could have been done with a Congress that administered them and implemented them. It would have taken a little longer, but they would be not facing the legal SCOTUS question and likely not pissed off these other countries. also,- had Dirty Donnie declared it as a financial emergency vs a vengeance plan, it would have been a better move. Even if he said the immediate Tariffs were till Congress officially voted on them.

So many ways it could have gone better and had less animosity from trading partners. Penguins have long memories about being taxed ya know. Canadian's even longer.

Lose a Stanley cup and that shit is forever. - especially to FLORIDA

I find this hard to believe. Are we to believe that people are flocking to places like France, England, Germany, Sweden, Greece or other EU places? With the fanciest hotels booked completely with "migrants"? Where would they stay?

I would venture a guess (if we are to believe Forbes), that the people NOT traveling to the US aren't going anywhere at all.

Don’t point fingers, point your thumb.
Greece is experiencing a record number of tourists this year. In fact, most of Europe has seen tourism on the rise since this asshole got re-elected.

Hey MAGA, people don't hate America. They hate you.
All of our northern border states are feeling the financial pinch now due to Canadians staying away en masse. These border town businesses are seeing numbers down anywhere from 10%-25% compared to last year at this time.

Hey MAGA, these people don't hate America. They hate what you've done to America.
