MASA...Making American's Stay Away

After a British woman was held at Immigration for 10 days, the British Government has updated guidance for travelling to the United States but it seems that we are all one step ahead of the Government because travel from the UK to the US has dropped by almost 15% from this time last year according to official figures from the US National Travel and Tourism Office who are concerned, saying it could have a chilling effect on Tourism.
Travel from Canada to the US has dropped by 36% and trips from the US to Europe have also, down almost 13% compared with the same period last year but that is being put down to the World becoming hostile to American tourists in the age of Trump.
Some say because Trump has trashed his own economy and tried to do the same to the rest of the World, American tourists are worried about how they will be received, the  website Business Insider interviewed Americans about their experiences abroad and they do say that since January, they have been treated in a less friendly way and not just in Europe but Canada, Asia and Australia.
I can offer some advice though for Americans coming to Europe and this come's from American's who are here already, tell people you are Canadian.
To our European ears Canadian and American accents are the same so say: 'American? Nah, Canadian Eh Buddy so can you point me to the nearest Timmies? 'and you can avoid any of those difficult questions about politics and mad guns laws.
You may want to leave the red MAGA cap at home also and you may want to avoid Denmark and Greenland altogether, you really don't want to be going to them places.
