Would you visit USA in the current climate?

People aren't afraid to visit the states. It's just turned into a dump with a lunatic president and anyone who voted for him which is the majority of the electorate are idiots.

You look at what we have running this country... trump an Eighty year old, has more fight in his baby finger , than our short of wasters... people blah trump, musk, mcgrgor.... they rose to positions of power through ridiculous talent or graft...

Look at the antics regarding the independents and formation of the dail.... MM celebrating becoming tapisesch... they would be out of their depth running for county councils.. . Yet here we are, they run a country, with massive budgets and tax receipts...

Somebody needs to call halt to the madness ...

Our wasters are on another planet to them... they could never relate... the defence of a tax haven for decades, which has no defence capability, infrastructure a disgrace... its world class welfare state and world class income tax rates over a pittance of an income... is that what we should be happy with ?

Yes, you are correct. Civil cases are treated very differently to criminal cases. He has no criminal conviction as a result of losing the Nikita Hand High Court case.

My last trip there was before Trump and even then things like the tipping culture was a pain. Just pay your staff a living wage!!!

I hated the forced friendliness of staff fishing for tips.

You could spend your lifetime over in the US and still never see everything interesting that there is over there.

I'll agree that it no longer has the mythical allure that it used to have but it's still a great place to visit with plenty to see and do. That said, I wouldn't like to live there.

You can stop edging and just finish now. We get it.

I don't understand these points. It is absolutely indicative of the population. Trump was elected through a democratic vote.

Nope.

Agreed. The amount of national parks near me here, I'd never heard of two of them. They would blow anything we have, out of the water. The place is probably a hundred times bigger than Ireland. Unless you've been here, the ignorance is laughable...

Millions pass through US borders every year without incident.

This ONE Welsh tourist thought she could pick and choose the terms and conditions of her visa so she's not entirely blameless.

Well, I live in metro Montreal and only an hour from the border. I noticed in my last trips to the city an ever dwindling number of American licence plates on roads around here.

Highway 10 and 15 into the city are the more direct entry points and for Americans travelling here and back, and I noticed very few in the past couple of days. I believe many of them are afraid of having their cars vandalized or not being welcome. Generally speaking, I was used to seeing dozens of cars with Mass, NY, Vermont, NJ, Penn and Conn plated cars, but now it’s practically zero.

I am not interested in going to the US any time soon, my feelings for the country are at a low point, as is the case for every other Canadian I know. A lot of my neighbours winter in Florida, own houses there, but I don’t know how that has gone so far.

Chump and his posse have managed to destroy what we thought was a great relationship. This is a very sinister time, and I hate that my children are going through this.

Whatever happens, the trust is gone, and we will not be the same, I remember feeling that way after 9/11, but the truth is, the US is becoming a sadder place.

Been 5 or 6 times to new york, chicago, florida, but not since 2013. Have had no real desire to return since, but the antics of the last 6 months have confirmed it. No interest in it anymore, would rather return to canada or mexico of going that way.

The EU is bigger than the USA in area and has just as many amazing things to see and do, and way fewer nazis these days

(Remember when America used to help fight them?)
