Anyone cancelling their trips/holidays to USA

[Petuniaspetal]

Have to be honest since trump won i wasn't going anyway. But anyone cancelling or going elsewhere?
I have a big birthday this year, I would go to the garbage dump rather than support America,/musk in any way. I know therwmis at least half of America that doesn't.support this shxt and for them I am sorry but for the republicans too spineless and self interested to resist their dictator.trump...not one iota of sympathy for the rising prices loss of Medicaid or medicare.

YABU ..to cancel/Not go
YANBU...wouldn't touch it with a bargepole

40 people dead from mass shootings so far in 2025.

In 2024, there were more than 40 gun deaths per day.

Yep, fired a load of workers from the FAA, an already depleted service, now begging people to come work for him...because he obviously another stable genius and job security is a big incentive.

He also fired a load of workers from the Nuclear.Security Department..because that's evidently a good idea, with nuclear bombs and stuff.

Then there's the Ebola firings too...but that only lasted a wee while ...then they realised their mistake, because noone wants ebola apparently, according to Elon.

Nothing to be worried about, nothing at all.

Trump isn't King Kong. He, Vance and Musk are a "Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest" movie waiting to be filmed.

This country needs a viable third party like never before.

You’re criticising the mother based on nothing more than your own assumption about who wanted to cancel the trip.

I won’t be missing out. It looks very close to becoming a dictatorship to me.

My DB was planning a trip for a big birthday and anniversary combined later this year, but is now looking elsewhere as he won’t go to the US while Trump is in power. I had no plans to go, but wouldn’t until he’s gone.

They most certainly have strong social conscience and are politically aware.

Nonsense OP.

I’m no Trump/Musk supporter but some of the comments here are ridiculous.

I’ve never wanted to go to NYC at any age.

Yes, it does show historical, but also notes places that are still mostly white, for ex.

I can't stand Trump, and I'm not saying that people who don't like him have Trump derangement syndrome simply for detesting him. I'm saying that something like cancelling a young person's 21st birthday present of a trip to NYC is indicative of TDS. Totally overboard, hysterical, and unnecessary, in my view. That kid must be so disappointed. Some people have lost their minds over Trump.

Although, having said that, after today's utter disgrace at the WH, they're looking more and more sensible, I have to concede...

I’m on a total boycott of America. Not going there, not watching American TV or films, not buying American brands (am annoyingly tied in to Microsoft and Apple). Am pressuring a family member to sell the Tesla, obviously, I don’t care about the loss.

Ive stopped contact with American friends.

I know of two young adults who had planned to study in the US who won’t be going now.

I accept that most Americans don’t want Trump and Musk, but the nature of their society - misogyny, greed, racism, individualism, arrogance - has led them to this point so they’re all to blame. Shame on them.

A lot of us have friends and family in the US you know, and don't have the luxury of treating it as a simple holiday destination.

Plenty of Americans do not support these actions.

We should be allying ourselves against big tech and business, not against the American people. Of course no-one will do that because they need to be on WhatsApp and Fuckbook.

Omg, that's just awful. 😡

We’ll have to agree to disagree on the 21st birthday trip.

Sooooooooo are we all to blame for Brexit and shit Johnson did? Even those of us wildly opposed, who did not vote for any of it?

You've stopped contact with American friends, but you won't get rid of your Apple tech??! 😂

You sound like a real treat of a person.

Ive stopped contact with American friends.

MAGA friends, presumably?

I'm not sure if this is joking or not...😬

Who would have MAGA friends?

@Bumble6 yeah actually re-reading I think that post may not be serious. The line about the Tesla...

Goodness knows. But I can’t imagine why the PP would cut ties with her non-MAGA American friends.

You'd force your adult child to go and trip that they don't want to to go on, for their birthday?

That's derangement.

Under Trump the far right, and other groups, have come out from the shadows. It is a much different experience for a person of colour in certain parts of the US. In some places it always has been.

Please explain exactly which Labour policies have caused your income to go down.

There are still many, many places in the USA that aren't "MAGA" areas. Boston, MA, VT, really, the whole NE, including Maine and NH, Rhode Island, Delaware. The NJ shore and boardwalk and the Maryland beaches. That's the Atlantic side, and the whole Pacific side is up for grabs. Colorado is beautiful, especially through the Rockies (on a train of course). Everywhere you look, the more there is to see.
