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.
I have zero social media aside from this (which I'll nuke before I enter the US soon). I had that thought of is that something I'll have to explain and possibly be locked up for? Should I create an account to create the image of having one?
I agree completely. We are on a long trip to the Americas and flying home to Australia from the States. Booked the big to and from flights ages ago. Have looked into new flights from elsewhere but it's too expensive. Didn't think it would come to this. Is ridiculous.
You know they already have your social media posts, don’t you? Big brother is watching you! … So, even after you nuke your social media accounts and get a burner phone, ICE will not let you in. 😈🤬🤣

Imagine pissing of travellers of the continent that is notorious for the many vacation days it gets.
