Is Trump intentionally trying to destroy foreign tourism into to the US... and all of the businesses that depend on it?

We were thinking of going over to the US for the World Cup next year. All 12 of us who were planning it have changed our minds now. There is too much chaos and risk of being arrested for no reason at the airport and being locked up for weeks over a simple vacation. I've heard enough stories about it not to take the chance.

He's doing anything he can to collapse the economy. He wants an uprising so he can declare martial law and use the military to enforce orders on civilians and suspend civil rights to make himself a dictator without a check on his power. That's called situational design.

While the article makes some interesting points, it’s important to remember that tourism is influenced by a wide range of factors—global economics, shifting exchange rates, international conflicts, and even post-pandemic recovery still linger in 2025. While Trump’s policies may have an impact on perception, it’s overly simplistic to blame the entire decline in foreign tourism on rhetoric alone. Major upcoming events like the 2026 World Cup and the 2028 Olympics still position the U. S. as a central global destination.

Almost any Trump question can be answered thusly or a combination of the following:

He don't know

He don't care

He's being manipulated

He's being motivated by greed, ego, libido or revenge

It's truly that simple.

MAGAs gonna look like Colludy Rudy & have his net worth when Trump's done...

Intentionally, no. But by sheer incompetence and disinterest, yes. Remember, Trump managed to even bankrupt a casino. 🤦‍♂️

[SmokinAces2000]

Either that or he’s a dumbass. It could be either but personally I think it’s a mixture.

[RedInnocent69]

Yeah, he’s destroying everything to entrench an oligarchy from the ruins

Wow! You mean that the US citizens will be able to go to National Parks and other attractions without standing in a line of foreigners!

Musk is Trump's brain. Ask him.
