Trump supporters’ #BoycottHawaii movement is backfiring

OUTRAGED fans of Donald Trump are calling for a boycott of Hawaii — but the plan to hurt the islands’ tourism seems to be a big fail.

FANS of Donald Trump have a big problem with Hawaii right now.

Last week a federal court in Hawaii put a hold on the Republican president’s revised travel ban, which did not go down well with many of his supporters.

Rallying around the hashtag #BoycottHawaii, outraged advocates for the travel ban have vowed never to return to Hawaii or buy Hawaiian-made products — and some have even claimed to have cancelled already-booked holidays to the 50th State, Fox News reports.

Some people have even called for Hawaii to secede from the United States.

The scuba diving in Hawaii is overrated and Hawaiian Pizza Sucks. #BoycottHawaii #MAGA They hate us haloes anyway. Let Hawaii secede. bye!

But the proposed boycott has already had one major unintended consequence.

It turns out, many Hawaiian residents — some of whom have a love/hate relationship with tourists from the mainland — don’t seem too upset about the idea of less crowded beaches and non-natives no longer “desecrating” their sacred lands.

And so the attempt to hurt the state’s tourism industry doesn’t seem to scare them.

#BoycottHawaii Best news I've heard all day! Fewer narrow-minded bigots littering our beaches and mocking our traditions. Mahalo iā ʻoukou!

“Please?” one Hawaii local tweeted in response to the threat to #BoycottHawaii.

“Maybe now we can tear down their vacation homes that they stay in one week out of the year,” another person quipped.

Another said: “#BoycottHawaii amused me because I’m sure Native Hawaiians have wanted white people off their sacred land for years.”

With no Trump supporters around, anti-Trumpers seem to be finding the idea of an island devoid of presidential devotees all the more appealing.

Or, as one Twitter user put it, “Fastest way to increase tourism to Hawaii? Tell the rest of the world Trump supporters aren’t coming. Cha-ching!”.

Boycotts (and “buy-cotts”) have played a major role pitting Trump supporters against those who disagree with his policies.

Recently, supporters of the President and the First Family launched a similar boycott against department store Nordstrom after it decided to drop Ivanka Trump’s clothing line.

In January, when Starbucks announced it would hire 10,000 refugees, many Trump supporters pledged to stop buying the chain’s coffee.
