Trump is single-handedly destroying the US tourism industry. In 2023, international visitors spent more than $213 billion on travel and tourism-related activities within the US. This year, foreign travel to the US has declined significantly, leading to an estimated $64 billion shortfall.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

I cannot overstate the importance of reading books, particularly novels by respected authors, for critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. If the big gun novelists don't interest you, start small and work your way up. Or read whatever interests you. Just read. Or listen. It's all books.
