@adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social: "Trump’s deployment of 2,300 National Guard troops and 500 federal law enforcement agents has hurt foot traffic, chilled business, and made people cancel trips and nights out. It is slowly choking the life out of Washington, D.C." www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-is-s...

Duh. Not many see "We had to send troops to occupy the city" and think "What a great time to visit!"

I can imagine a scenario where he starts offering Nazis, dark enlightenment types, and south shall rise again types stipends to move there. Just repopulates DC with his evil cronies.

I am one. I have cancelled an upcoming trip to D.C. and northern VA. Happy to save the money and spend it on a trip up to Vancouver, BC.

Although we have sympathy for the plight of DC’s restaurants, for those of us who live elsewhere, we are far more concerned with the strangling of our Republic founded as a rejection of rule by kings, dictators or tyrants. Trump’s campaign to install himself as sole ruler is an existential threat.

Yeah for sure. And he’ll eventually get the feds to drop rates that will push up inflation even higher. They are screwed. Good look with investments in the U.S.

DC residents should be out there on the streets living their lives, walking through the middle of military/ICE thug operatiens while eating ice cream, and ignoring them completely.

Everything Trump does is wrecking the economy. Inflation up, unemployment up and it will only get worse. Somehow the stock market is intoxicated and doesn’t see the pending crash.
