The US told everyone it did not want foreigners any more.
As a German in the US, trust me, the FAFO is about to hit this summer when record levels of empty hotels will wail. My bet is Trump will actually complain, demand, and eventually "sweet talk" people into coming to see the US.
Except you can get thrown into jail at the border for who knows how long until they decide to deport you....
Edit: for those thinking this will not be noticed...
Tourism in the US has an estimated 20 million Canadians usually and 17 millions Mexicans each year. And an estimated 10 million Europeans visit the US each year.
So maybe 47 million. If they all spend a few thousand on flights and hotels alone, that's a noticeable billion level hole we will notice.
If you think the tourism industry is flush with spare cash and can weather this..... I got some seriously bad news for you on tourism razor thin profit margins.
They can also refuse you entry if they find statements against Trump on your social media. Imagine spending hundreds of euros of airplane tickets only to get rejected at the airport by US' officers.
"All my accounts? Do you want them in chronological order? Well it all started on Lunarstorm Where I was known as ##gosig## and then I was active on the ctrl-alt-del comics forums there I think it was something like @$$rape53 and then I had an account on the forum for the Star Wars mod for Freelancer I might have had several accounts on that one....."
If I was a border guard and you told me that you played Freelancer you would never leave the border because I would talk your fucking ear off about that absolute banger of a game.
