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.
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.
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.
This is gonna last longer then Trnup is in power. This is a real, tangible, long lasting shift in Canada-US relations. That’s not going to be fixed or restored whenever Trump is out of office. There will be a successor to this US isolationist ideology. The faster we decouple, disassociate and diversify from the US in every way, the better.
When you consider that foreign relationships take many decades to forge, it’s unlikely that things will go back to the way they were for at least 20+ years.
If it ever happens.
And by then, the rest of the world would have already adapted to a life without the States, and many will be better off for it.
I’m American, and don’t blame you one bit.
Once you’re on the wrong end of the stick, you understand that the US isn’t a friend. Developing nations and non-white nations have known this for a long time. The biggest thing blinding the population are US media exports. US marketing is amazing, but now, it’s getting harder and harder to market shit.
As someone from latam is refreshing seeing that everyone on the world is learning what the US actually is.
I’m not from LATM, but same. I’ve been telling people for years that the US is not a net positive force in the world and people hold up whatever gadget they have and go “but they made this”. Yeah, on the backs of a bunch of poor people that you’ll never see nor care about, but because they’re not white, it doesn’t matter to you.
I think no country is someone’s friend … Everyone is there just for the gains
The only reason I would go to the USA would be to piss on trump’s grave.
I’m honestly too fucking scared to as a foreigner
A German tourist took their tatoo pen/equipment on a trip to US. They were accused of trying to work illegally and jailed until the time of their prebooked return trip home.
I’m a programmer and i take my laptop everywhere… i’d be fucked!
First, “Unlock your laptop, or straight to jail”. Next, Emacs installed? Obviously straight to jail. Notepad++? Believe it or not, jail.
Not just gone from government, but dead. And none of his spawn in any government positions.
Yep. Cancelled plans to attend a conference and visit family. Never again.
Yup, I cancelled two conference trips because of that jackass.
I am glad to have visited when I could, but I don’t see myself ever travelling to the US again.
I was planning a trip to PA and Las Vegas in 2025.
Now those have been changed to France and Amsterdam. It’ll cost me much more, however I’m not going to America for the foreseeable future.

Ok cool. Thanks for letting us know.
There are many other countries worth visiting who contain a lot less people who are voting to walk over me to take my stuff.
Genocide wasn’t enough apparently
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.
