Trump is symptom, not the cause, of America’s ailment. His death or a change of president won’t alter the underlying currents for many years, if ever.
I am an American and very concerned about where we are headed as a country. We treat all of our allies terribly and now Russia is our friend? Don’t come here-things are too unstable
The only reason I would go to the USA would be to piss on trump’s grave.
The day that all the soggy burger-lettuce that’s holding him together finally gives out will go down in history as the 2nd time that ‘Ding Dong the Witch is Dead’ reaches number 1 in the UK music charts.
Because of my husbands work, we would often have to go out to NYC. I always considered it my second home. I also enjoyed travelling out to the west coast, specifically Manhattan Beach in California.
But theres always Paris to replace that void of NYC and pretty much anywhere else in the Mediterranean to replace cali. A definite upgrade. My husband had left the company a couple years back to start a new company — one based in Canada with some former execs. So we no longer need to go to NYC.
We will never be returning back. And on behalf of all my friends who faught in Afghanistan, America can get fucked.
After he’s dead and gone I STILL won’t be returning. Never again giving them a dime if I can help it.😡🇨🇦
I don’t blame any non-Americans for avoiding our shit show. Just give us till the midterms to turn it around or at least bottle it better. Peaceful resistance is the only direction for now.
Last time I was in the US I was in Hawaii in January 2009. Obama was being inaugurated and because of time zones I had to get up early to watch it. Figured it was worth getting up for because it was kinda historical. So I was in the common area of the hostel where the TV was and there were four other people in the room, two women sitting up front, close to the TV, excited about the Obama being inaugurated. And there was a dude at the back of the room cursing and swearing because the stock market was dropping.
When the speech was done, we got to talking. The two women excited about the inauguration were Canadian. The guy at the back of the room angry at Obama because of the stock market (he’s literally being inaugurated, he hadn’t done anything yet) was American.
Just felt like there was something wrong with that country then and just didn’t feel like going back there again. Then Trump came along and he did nothing but reinforce that feeling. Had some small hope they might be able to get past their greed, ignorance, and racism when Biden got in, but that just didn’t happen.
Haven’t gone there in 16 years, and sure as hell not going there now.
I wont go to the US unless im going as a part of a military operation. Every single magat needs to be gone before the US can be redeemed.
I’m Canadian, and I plan to never visit the USA again.
Ever.
There is no “…until” for me. The world without the US is easily big enough for me.
Two places I always wanted to see were New Orleans and Hawaii. The latter might end up breaking away, but New Orleans is probably off my list forever.
Honestly, same. I already cancelled Florida and Arizona trips for later in the year and told friends in Phoenix that I’ll likely never be back. We’ll probably make plans to meet up elsewhere.
This is the republican party now. And Trump may not even be the worst to come. We already see his goons waiting in the wings. Political whiplash is the new normal in the US, and i feel like we will see the division continue to exacerbate over the next few decades for them domestically until something gives.
I hope we in Canada take this new reality seriously and prepare ourselves appropriately as we enter the 30’s.

I am with you on that. My regret is not visiting Yellowstone earlier…
Even with the orange turd gone, the people who elected him and empowered the republicans to do this mess are still there…
Yeah, New Orleans was also on my bucket list of places I wanted to visit. I had originally planned to go last year but then opted to go to Spain instead.
There are many other countries worth visiting who contain a lot less people who are voting to walk over me to take my stuff.
Even though Trump has now paused tariffs on some products until April, we’re still not about to spend a nickel to prop up the U.S. economy when its president has pledged to destroy ours. We don’t want to be doing any of this, and we know so many Americans who also wish none of this were happening. But this is our reality now.
Yep, that’s about it. But it’s not just our economy Trump has vowed to destroy, it’s our country.
He’s trying to destroy yours, but he’s actively destroying the US already.
Make sure your fellow countrymen know that, and don’t allow a wannabe dictator to come to power. It’s still not too late for you guys.
Never going back.
I’m American, and don’t blame you one bit.
Honestly, I wasn’t comfortable going to the US ever since Trump got elected the first time. This is just another reason to never visit that place again. Would rather vacation somewhere in Canada, or if there’s a great travel deal, visit Europe.
I was planning on visiting this year, but now my US travel plans are filed away alongside the Trans-Siberian Railway trip I should have done in the 00s. As much as there are places I’d like to visit, it’d be like going for a city-break to Munich in 1935.
Yep. My mom wants to see hanuama bay once more while she can still travel. #reasons. Remembrance.
We can’t go while it’s under Trump, so we wait until the US stops being weird or until the Kingdom tries to secede. She won’t go before then.
The odds aren’t good, but we’re hoping she’ll still be good to go then; and know she did.
Man, fuck Trump and his merry band of dirt-bags.
