"Leaving aside the tariffs, how much will observing such a boycott - and a reduction in tourism to the USA - really affect their economy? I think they'll notice it but it won't bother them much." But that's also like. Don't fly on a USA made plane, don't buy fule, cereal or bred as it might be from USA very hard to do. | |||

"But that's also like. Don't fly on a USA made plane ..." It's surprisingly easy to avoid flying in an American-made plane. Airbus and Bombardier are doing very well these days, while Boeing are rapidly losing ground. | |||

"People would get pretty bored watching East European sitcoms or Algerian romcoms on TV. Listening to "world" music is not for the faint hearted and there is only so many Bollywood block busters you can watch before going on suicide watch." I'll have you know the classic USSR show "Comrades" is perfect | |||

"If reports are anything to go by Tesla car sales have already taken quite a big hit in UK and Europe
How would that trickle through so quickly as a down turn?"They did it as a year on year comparison to those sold at this time last year Part of it is trump.. and Elon…. Part of it is Chinese and European EV competition at the lower price points where Tesla doesn’t do that vehicle.. yet | |||

"Leaving aside the tariffs, how much will observing such a boycott - and a reduction in tourism to the USA - really affect their economy? I think they'll notice it but it won't bother them much." It’s actually working in Canada already to the point that American politicians are already going on tv there trying to separate themselves from Trump See… I think the Canada and the EU are missing a trick… imagine if they agreed to a one year joint “Schengen area” (they could call it a trial for the purpose of this) could you imagine how much tourism would be generated | |||

"If you buy anything you are probably paying fees indirectly to Visa, Mastercard and Amex through the payment system. Or to Google Pay/Apple Pay, also American. If you want to stop buying American you’ll just have to stop existing. I’m not convinced a few leftie bores in the UK not buying a new iPhone is going to make much difference to the US economy which continues to way outstrip UK and EU economic performance. There is a big world out there. The world doesn’t end at the Islington border. The UK is just increasingly irrelevant and out of touch." "There is a big world out there" That was the Brexit mantra. Turns out there wasn't. | |||

The only way forward is to relive the past. Sadly the UK has just run out of ideas. | |||

"It’s actually working in Canada already to the point that American politicians are already going on tv there trying to separate themselves from Trump" I think Canada will be the one place where many US citizens - even some of his supporters - will really come to regret Trump's actions. He's destroyed a lot of friendship and goodwill. Most Canadians are likely to remain unwilling to buy American, where it's avoidable, until he's out of office. | |||
