4. Tourism will die in the US even if we remove Canada from the equation.

Where do most people go on vacation? National parks and historic sites. Since most will be closed, that's going to kill the surrounding towns' tourist economies.

Who wants to fly in the US, now that air travel under Trump has become a death trap? Who wants to pay $4/gal to drive across the country for a vacation? Who will have the money to even take vacations with the price increases on everything?

The papers can blame the Canadians, but even Americans won't be "touristing" any more.
