(60,179 posts)I have friends who were America fans and regular yearly visitors from decades back. They won't be coming this year, or any year as long as we are being led by "him." Other friends of mine who have business in the States, one from the UK, the other from Switzerland, have canceled normally scheduled trips so far this year. They MAY make one where they normally make four or five. Even my wife, a German citizen who comes with me often, will come with me to Cape Cod this year. Our elder daughter, who lives in New York City, will visit us there, but my wife will not travel outside of Massachusetts, and will return to Europe from there instead of accompanying me on my usual summer odyssey around North America.
I doubt that many of the EPA workers were Trump supporters, and the loss of their positions will probably be gleefully greeted by Trump fans, who somehow think that putting more people out of work is making America great as long as the ones newly unemployed are "libbruls."
