Even tourists like me are afraid to visit america now. So much hatred

For what it's worth, international arrivals are down about 3.8%: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2025/08/26/have-for... https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2025/08/26/have-for... A statistically significant drop, but not exactly plummetting.

Here it says 14% drop in March.

demented don and pedophile of the united states strikes again. This administration continues to find new ways to make this country shittier for the common man. Lower courts recently found his tariffs to be illegal but given the corrupt state of the SCOTUS. It’s only a matter of time until it’s overturned. It’s sad that the best we can do is _delay_ the damage this demented fool is doing to this country.

Only for left leaning definitions of “common man”.

This has to be a joke, right?

Doesn’t matter if you are "right" or "left". Arkansas farmers getting steam rolled by this awful tariff policy from orange man administration [1] to the point where they are asking for bailouts.

The only people benefiting from those tariffs are billionaires hoping to put the common man into more debt or continue to buy up depreciating assets due to squeezing from all angles.
