Huh I thought they didn’t want foreigners tho
if i wanna see primates throw shit at each other i can go to my local zoo
Sir, a second Trump presidency has hit the US.
Every set of policy decision has its winners and losers. It really feels like everyone other than the grifter-in-chief and his pals are losing now though.
A lot of the pals aren’t even winning. It’s mostly just trump becoming richer.
“His pals”
The biggest companies on Earth. Trump is superfluous, like a tumor.
Remember Trump’s victory celebration? Bezos, Musk, Gates, Zuckerberg, they were all ecstatic.
Watch, I think they’ll be on the stage whomever wins the presidency, because corporations are people and dollars are free speech.
These court decisions are precedent, they are now the law of the land. To rescind Supreme Court decisions we must have a constitutional convention. But we can’t even agree on bathrooms.
So, doom it is
Citizens United needs to die.
It can’t be done through the courts. Court always sides with precedent. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
So congress needs to write a law, and stop screwing around with their parliamentary goofball rules and vote a simple majority to clean house.
This will then be reversed by our two stupid parties, back and forth as one or the other wins and changes the law.
Only a constitutional convention can put a stop to this by our existing government. Our current “What does Amazon Want” republic sucks
ya but didnt they just rescind Roe V Wade?
cant it go both ways?
It’s fine, they’ll keep printing money so everyone can keep buying nvidia chips, no reason to worry
Get rid of Capitalism, problem solved. Educate people, spread awareness. Scientific Socialism is the only sustainable way forward.
How would that solve tourism? There should ideally be no tourism under socialism, it’s a waste of resources.
Socialism doesn’t mean you cant have commerce or vacations. It just means that the motives move away from profit to more sustainable exchanges of time and energy. Tourism can exist in that framework. It just won’t be purely for money’s sake anymore.
I think the US is visually stunning and I really wanna see the national parks and Big Sur and go to Oregon and see awe inspiring beauty of that state. Just a major case of fascism makes go yuck. No thanks.
Canada is alternative option. British Columbia has similar geography to Oregon and we likewise have national parks. There’s lots of regions where Canada and US each have complementary national parks on the border with hiking trails that cross the border into each other’s parks. I don’t know how those are being managed under the current state of affairs however.
Rest of America is beautiful too, just avoid the fascist countries, you won’t be able to see it all in a lifetime either way.
I want to see the US during halloween. It must be so insane and so weirdly wholesome.
What other holiday actually builds community trust than halloween? Best way to meet all your neighbours
To see Halloween, come to Canada instead! We also do that. You just need to speak to some locals to know where is the best place. Usually it is where the rich lives. I usually prefer to stay where I live, but if visiting for that, there are some places where it’s more impressive.
And as a bonus, we don’t have fascists in power.
Neat. Having grown up with it, it never really occurred to me that it would be extra neat to see when visiting from another country.
It’s not just the kids, it’s the adults too - everyone’s encouraged to be outdoors after sundown, the streets are buzzing with excitement
Boy, my friend, I think you might find yourself disappointed if you ever do make it for one of our Halloweens. Like everything, it’s not like the in the movies. But it is a fun night. I hope you get to see it some day.
Meanwhile China’s tourism is booming. Especially thanks to the 30 day unilateral visa free for most countries. Except of course for you know who…

Plus I don’t have to disclose any social media, including your LinkedIn nor do I have to answer these inane questions like are you a Nazi? Strangely enough a few years ago that would be a disqualifier but it seems to make the immigration process go smoother now.
Finally some good news
Thanks Obama! /s
Dude every day I get reminded this is sleepy Joe’s fault. 😴🙄
This hit Florida a while back. Hell, I-4 isn’t even a Mad Max style hellscape right now.
Who would have thought that a GeStaPo randomly taking potential non-Americans off the street and and putting them in concentration camps could lead to tourists looking for safer destinations?
After all the hassle for PLAYERS AND OFFICIALS for the World Cup, nobody should be even mildly shocked about this
I am. I am shocked people are still going.
Article text:
Overseas visitors to the US are on track to drop by almost two million year-on-year
Graph in article: Number of visitors declined by over 10 million from Canada alone (from 20 million) since the start of Trump’s second term. Other countries have similar trends, but with smaller initial numbers.
I’m not sure if I understand how they define year-on-year.
In tourism, Mexico and Canada are not considered “overseas” but “cross-border”. It’s much bigger news because overseas visitors are high spenders and stay for longer than cross-border visitors.
Let’s get those numbers down
olympicsworld cup probably f’d up the numbersedit* Sorry brain not ready yet
There was literally a world cup with more countries than ever.
Maybe there was already a huge drop in 2025 - one set of numbers is since this presidency started, the other is since a year ago.
That’s what I thought too, but then the graph would look different, with a plateau or even an increase for the last bit. But currently it goes down in a pretty straight line
“We’re the only major country in the world losing visitation,” the head of the US Travel Association said. “It’s mind-boggling.”
Is it, tho? Is it really mind-boggling?
Has this head of US Travel Association perhaps been frozen in stasis for the past 24 months? I’m not sure how else they could perceive what’s happening as anything other than normal and expected.
It’s mind boggling these dumb idiots still haven’t figured it out. The stupidity is astounding.
A lot of people still act oblivious to what’s happening in the Untied States. Sometimes I think I’m delusional
Untied States
Maybe a typo, but accurate regardless.
It’s Unites States. Trump signed it into law.
Not a typo, I’ve been deliberately spelling it that way since Trump has been back in power
It’s “Unites States,” now.
Well … they don’t seem terribly united of late.
Not even close, no.
Its baked deep into the culture, right from childhood. US exceptionalism is a hell of a drug. And its going to lead to the country’s collapse.
Probably used GROK to compose that response.
America.gov “super intelligence” (which curiously still has an “AI”, not “SI”, content warning)
I typed in a racial epiphet into the chat bot and it spit out an application. I don’t know what for.
Probably Truth Social.
Small minds are easily boggled
US Government: “Foreigners are not welcome here!”
Foreigners: stop coming here
US Government: surprised Pikachu
To be fair, Japan is doing pretty much the exact same thing, and tourism to Japan in 2026 dropped by only 2.6% so far compared to 2025, as per their own tourism statistics.
https://statistics.jnto.go.jp/en/graph/
Tourism in Nazi Germany was fine for the most part, too.
You have to remember that tourists are, generally speaking, richer people, since poor people just can’t afford to travel. And statistically speaking, as you grow richer, you care less about people, the world, anything really.
As we’ve clearly seen with the recent Fifa World Cup.
the exact same thing
Oh, I’m sorry, I must have missed the news where Japan will demand your devices’ and social media accounts’ passwords on entry, or that they have secret police prowling the streets looking to jail and/or deport you to a random country for pretty much no reason.
Don’t forget the concentration camps, militarized police and sundown towns…
As much as I’d love to, I don’t think I’ll forget. :(
Is Japan being hostile to foreigners now any more than usual, though?
Also Japan has culture what does America have to offer?
Yes. After all that is going down in Nazi America it was the price of fuel being too high that is the reason I have been hearing for Snow birds not going this year. Thanks Obama.
