YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTrump promised to make America great again, but his attacks on Canada are collapsing Florida's $102 billion tourism industry. Canadian visitors dropped by 90,000 people in just three months, devastating Disney World, Universal Studios, and cruise lines. Hotel workers like Miguel Rodriguez are getting laid off after 15 years because tourists don't want to visit Trump's Florida. The Canadian government is now issuing travel advisories warning citizens about "political instability" in Florida.
This is the classic MAGA extraction scheme - promise economic prosperity while picking fights with your biggest customers. Florida's tourism industry employs 1.6 million people, but Trump's bullying is driving away the Canadians who contribute $600 million annually to Fort Lauderdale alone. Hotel owner Richard Clavet thought he was voting for business-friendly policies, not a president who would attack his customer base.
The FAFO is hitting hard across Florida's hospitality sector. Carnival Cruise Lines down 25% in Canadian bookings, Royal Caribbean down 30%, Norwegian down 35%. Restaurant owner Tony Marinelli is closing two South Beach locations because his Canadian customers - who made up 30% of revenue - aren't coming anymore. This is what happens when you elect a bully who treats your best customers like enemies.
