One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

I'm cool with ~70% of Americans. I will *never* go back. But if I run into one of you here in Canada or while travelling abroad I'll gladly buy you a beer. Unless they're wearing a MAGA hat ofc

Correct. America was great because it had a stable, business-friendly government. It has neither stability nor business-friendly going for it now.

Talk to all the Canadians who aren’t going to Florida for spring break.
I think there are a lot of maga who believe they won’t be hurt by this trade war but are about to find out otherwise

The problem is too many rank and file MAGAz live off of government pay cheques-police, military, veterans, disabled, seniors, and at all levels of government. It’s kinda obscene actually …so they won’t feel the hit their regular working neighbours take directly.

I live in NW MT and this area relies heavily on tourism from Canadians who are now cancelling their plans to visit this summer.
The anti-American sentiment that is taking hold around the world will have devastating effects for years, if not decades, to come.

When companies start tightening their belts a lot of others lose also. This is one of the factors that fuels a recession runaway.
Business is bad, businesses spend less which makes business worse.

I have a friend who lives in Palm Beach and has a little house on Treasure Island that she has offered me if I want a little vacation. I even have the use of one of her cars, but I refused, I will go to Europe and pay a lot more rather than spend a cent in the US right now.

‘Very Scary’: Swing State Trump Voters Have Buyer’s Remorse
They voted for President Donald Trump to bring prices down and bolster the economy. Now they regret their vote.
Swing State Trump Voters Have Buyer’s Remorse: ‘It’s Very Scary’
INSTANT REGRET
They voted for President Donald Trump to bring prices down and bolster the economy. Now they regret their vote.

Michigan moderates who flipped from voting for former President Joe Biden in 2020 to President Donald Trump in November are regretting their decision.
A focus group assembled by researcher Rich Thau last week found swing voters in the Great Lake State were having second thoughts about their vote for Trump, with political “chaos,” still-high grocery prices, and a plummeting stock market driving their views.
On Friday, CNN featured a Zoom session with short sound bytes from a handful of the participants. They were identified only by first name and last initial.
“Everything I believed was going to happen” under a Trump presidency has since gone the “opposite direction,” said a woman named Shannon wearing a Central Michigan University shirt
“I thought he was going to change things with affordability and make things cheaper,” she added, “But by putting these tariffs in and terrorizing the world, now things are going to only get more expensive than they already are.”
A woman named Sheryl said she is “almost scared to watch the news” anymore. A man named Phil added that Trump’s “actions have been disruptive and [are] creating chaos.”
Shannon agreed, saying, “I don’t think anyone would have voted for him if they expected to see what we’re seeing now.”
One of the voters with buyer’s remorse said she voted for Trump because she thought the economy would thrive.
“I was voting for him based off of the economy the first time around and I’m seeing a significant decline,” a voter named Samantha said.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell over three percent in the week preceding Thau’s focus group. In February, egg prices hit an all-time record.
A focus group member named Therese said succinctly, “It’s very scary.”
CNN’s Dana Bash noted that Thau described feeling “whiplash” in his focus groups week-to-week as the economy has started to falter.
Just last month in Arizona, another swing state, Thau surveyed other voters who switched votes and found all 11 were happy with the president’s handling of the economy. In Michigan this week, however, he said 10 of 13 surveyed said they disapproved.
Republican lawmakers have faced outrage at town halls across the country in recent weeks, where constituents have expressed concern about mass federal layoffs, Elon Musk’s immense influence, and high prices.
Josh Dawsey, a political investigations reporter at the Wall Street Journal, said on CNN that Trump’s advisers had urged the president to focus on the economy during his campaign but that Trump finds the economy “boring” compared with issues like immigration.
“Now you see him talk less about cost of living than other topics,” Dawsey said. “You see him sort of do these aggressive actions on trade, and I’m curious to see how the American public will respond to that, because I think one of the key reasons people put him in the White House was they thought prices were going down and that he was better than the Democrats on making their lives better.”
