We Used to Be Very Friendly

[Interviewing 8 billion people would take awhile.]
Last week, I read the headline “Fewer foreign tourists are visiting Boston this summer. Some blame Trump”. My first thought was “…and others also blame Trump?”. There really is no one else. It’s patently obvious that the despicable and inhumane actions of America’s border authorities, at the behest of President Trump, would lead to a reduction in visitors from abroad.

Sure enough, each and every person mentioned in the article rightly assigns the blame for this drop to Trump. I guess the headline uses “some” only because they didn’t have a chance to speak to everyone.
