Imagine that. Visiting for too long you’ll end up in a concentration camp. I wouldn’t visit here if I didn’t live here.
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.
“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.
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.
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.
Not a typo, I’ve been deliberately spelling it that way since Trump has been back in power
It’s “Unites States,” now.
It’s Unites States. Trump signed it into law.
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.
Small minds are easily boggled
It’s mind boggling these dumb idiots still haven’t figured it out. The stupidity is astounding.
How could Joe Biden do this to us, Pikachu?!
Isn’t that the lady who said women should stay in the kitchen?
Judging by the younger generations I’d be happy if anyone was in the kitchen none of you fuckers knows how to cook anymore.
Sir, a second Trump presidency has hit the US.
Only 50% of 2019 levels. Surprised it’s even that high.
The World Cup is my guess
they still visit disney.
I don’t understand how anybody at all still voluntarily goes to the Untied States
Family and friends compel many of us to visit.
Have they considered visiting you instead?
They do that too but I like visiting. As much as the politics suck, the people are generally decent and it’s still a country full of a lot of unique, natural beauty.
and contaminate themselves with socialism? no way!
Are they unaware of the situation?
plenty of fascist Australians going over by the 1000, Teslas are selling hand over fist.
Trump should have said he’d invade Australia and most of Australia would have said ok !
australia did produce the likes of murdoch and nick adams.
I know someone who flies down about once a month to help his elderly older brother and sister. (He is himself a retired senior, they are even older.) I presume he counts as 12 visitors a year, but of course, he’s just one person with family obligations.
As a Canadian, this really warms my heart, thank you!
Canada gooses takin’ Canada deuces.
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.
How is it mind-boggling? You elected fascist, felon, narcissist Dementia Don, and he’s fomented far-right assholes to his ranks. This has made America a cesspool, and it’s deserving of the scorn. And threatening sovereign states is making it worse.
At this point, it seems the point is to make the place malcontent, which adds to more of the far-right ranks, and it snowballs into needing intervention.
You elected fascist, felon, narcissist Dementia Don
Twice.
Tourists don’t care about all that. They care about 19 year old girls being detained and repeatedly strip searched and mothers being detained on accusations of voting in US elections.
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.
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.
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.
Trump’s solution: TARIFFS!
This is basically how Elon responded to advertisers not buying ads on X.
I thought he told them to “go fuck yourselves”.
I mean Trump is doing roughly the same just not with words.
So he treats them like minors?
Fair point.
Finally some good news
Detaining a number of the visitors at the border certainly didn’t help.
Not just detained, but strip searching teenage girls.
That story resonated through Europe.
Thanks Obama! /s
Dude every day I get reminded this is sleepy Joe’s fault. 😴🙄
if i wanna see primates throw shit at each other i can go to my local zoo
