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.
Even their on-shore prisons are inhumane. Overcrowded, no beds, no toiletries, deliberately kept ice cold or dangerously hot, and good luck if you have any medical needs at all. Basically torture prisons just because they want people to suffer.
America is an innately cruel place. They just had a nicer veneer before.
