How much has Comrade Trump cost the US economy in the last 2 days?

I wonder if anybody is assessing the costs. Mexico has begun to boycott American companies and I'm sure other nations will follow. I, along with 23 others, will not be taking a $5695 tour to Iran this summer. That's one tour from one company, so multiply that by a 1000 or so. Then there will be a huge loss of tourism dollars here as more and more people will not come to USA.

It's not that great, but I keep it not so pronounced and it works in Austria, Germany, and Mexico.

Guarantee all this xenophobic talk and executive order will make America less of a choice for the world to see.

And we'll be nearly interrogated as tourists in other countries on how we allowed this buffoon to be elected. It will be magnitudes more than when GWB was in office.

Trump will be able to claim gains for businesses associated with his personal favored clients but in totality he is bad for business. Predatory capitalism will grow his ever expanding list of enemies the only activity for which he excels. Let's make a deal but just make sure you stay home.
