Vegas is already going broke. This will close the city down and cause thousands of homeless Nevada. Who will be jailed according to new laws by Nevada and Trump. We all should be looking at other countries to live in I guess. Trump is bullet proof it seems. Child rape doesn't matter to MAGA or you?

Hopefully putin and all the russians paid for this fee when they entered Alaska.

As if.

Don’t know why anyone would want to come here.

I wouldn’t come here with this fee. Why would someone pay that? There are hundreds of other places- the world is HUGE!!

Elect an idiot this is the result

Who’s would want to travel in a shithole country ! Haha signed majority of Canadians .

Who wants to travel to a shithole country —- haha signed Canada.

If you paid visitors $2,500. They still wouldn't come. The optics are horrific. Has a government ever been deconstructed so quickly?

Only idiots would want to come to the US right now.

This is the dumbest administration, ever!

I love the geography of America, and I still have many friends there, I've been there dozens of times and lived there. Sadly, I will never return while this decay continues.

So stupid.

It's not "just" the fee--it's the whole package: the fee, the egregious actions of ICE; imposing tariffs on other countries based on the nonsense that others are "taking advantage" or "robbing us blind"; the general feeling that people different than you are unwelcome. We vs. they Change your tone.

We’re getting really good at hitting ourselves where it will hurt the most.

Tanking every conceivable part of the US economy

Secretary of Weasels Little Marco is on top of it! Hey Little how about wearing Nazi arm bands to work? How about sending your parents back to Cuba?

There's no cure for stupid...

You mean bringing your family to a Country in Chaos with Military policing citizens isn't high on people's list of dream vacations?

Let me guess: it’s going to take a massive bureaucracy to do this. Yeah, nah. We’re still not coming for a visit. You can turn off the porch light.

It’s not the “fees”. It’s maga.

Man it sure seems like letting the dumbest people be in charge was a bad idea.

He's doing his damndest to isolate us from the rest of the world.

Are we winning yet?

Math, the final frontier.

Is it that surprising? Apart from the anger about tariffs, the abandon of Ukraine, and the in your face hostility to foreigners, there's also the point that the Gov keeps telling everyone how all the major tourist cities are murder and drug riddled. Go to Canada, it's nicer by far.

Rethuglicans need the cash.

Suprised?

North Korea: Extremely few tourists are allowed to enter, and everything is controlled. The population has almost no contact with the outside world. This gives the regime control, but the economy suffers greatly.

Senseless! Where does all this money go?

Who cares about the USA.

Such a terrible idea…

What part of planned economic collapse that the religious animals of project 2025 are implementing right now that y'all don't understand. They're draining the markets with wild swings. They're bankrupting the USA with big BS bill. Causing mass unemployment with no benefits & higher food costs, etc

You'd have to be a complete idiot to travel to the USA Or a US citizen traveling abroad.

Thiel and his gang’s dream!

Yup

Who TF would want to visit that terrorist shit-hole anyway?

That's the least of our worries at this point, though I will say that I positively dread the World Cup.

The U.S. portion of the World Cup could be moved to Mexico & Canada. There's talk.

Source? I think that would be an objectively good idea, but I have my doubts that FIFA would have the integrity required.

Isolationism has never worked!!!

First the Canadians stopped coming, then the Europeans, now they arrested a Chilean tourist by mistake (not sure why they bothered to come to an unsafe country for latinos), but you can rest assured that whole continent will stop visiting too… this is going to be a bigger failure than Brexit…

Latinos usually come to visit friends and family members already living in the US.

Of course and I get the desire to see family but I wouldn’t trust visiting now…

F...K U AmeriKKKa 🖕

I'm American, and I don't even want to be here!

1 of 2: I run an international business that exports 50% of its products* with offices and employees in the US, Canada, the UK, Europe and Asia We have an annual planning meeting at our US home office, flying in managers and technical leads from around the world …

2 of 2: Not this year, as I will not subject my employees to harassment at the border This year the meetings (and money) will go to Europe *and with the #TrumpTariffTax we can not longer be competitive manufacturing in the US, so we are opening a plant in Poland to do all export manufacturing

US going back to the failed isolationist and parasitic Confederacy that preyed on people for free labor and theft of their lands and resources for free by wealthy Plantation owners today we call Oligarch's.

Yeah but the phone search is free.

Right below your post in my TL... 🤷 bsky.app/profile/heat...

Who'd ever want to visit a fascist shithole?

Good. I want Florida to go bankrupt.

👏🏻👏🏻

the footage of violent fascist cops in balaclavas, bullet proof vests, and military assault rifles patrolling the streets isn't helping either.

And the MAGA copycats one could face outside of urban areas…

USA Hermit Kingdom.

I will not visit the USA while the elected Government pursue policies that are racist,sexist,homophobic and illegal.Also,how is it ok to elect a convicted felon and allow him to pardon himself? How is it alright for him to then pardon criminals we saw attack and injure officers just doing their job.

Aside from the extra fee why would anyone from another country choose to come to the USA for a vacation right now? It isn’t safe. Go to Canada it’s equally as beautiful and safe for travelers!

No problem you will earn it in custom taxes and the foreigners will pay it. 😂

Well, if people weren’t afraid of being detained or arrested or denied entry, then I suppose they’d be dropping by more often. The administration has done this.

A cover charge to enter that fascist hellhole? Good luck with that. As if it wasn’t repellent enough.

How is that even a legitimate story in the press?

The beautiful, natural landscape, the world famous cities and the kind, friendly people will all still be there when Trump and his sycophantic cronies have long gone. Millions of us will be waiting until that day before stepping foot in the US again. Personally, I’m planning my first trip to Canada.

I'm not sure that "that day" will come. tRump is only the poster boy for the Heritage Foundation & the rest of the 2025s.

Thank you. As an American, I needed that. I hope you do return to our beautiful country once the evil fascists are defeated.

Traveled regularly to the US in the past but hello no. Traveling there became a red flag on Trumps first election and now is an absolute no-no-no. Ramping up the visas is just make it even less appealing for anyone who tried to stay „out of politics“.

Hmmm…. Why would the US government want to discourage foreigners from traveling to the USA??? 🤔

He’s trying to isolate us.

It’s not just the stupid fee though, is it?!?!?!?!?! His fucked up racist, fascist, authoritarian bullshit is deterring even more visitors. Who the hell wants to come to this fucking place right now? Don’t come to America, you are not safe here and the prices are skyrocketing.

no one is safe here, not even us

visiting u$a is a very high risk business these days.. tourists wisely stay away.. & will keep staying away for a long time.. even after the fool-at-lago is buried.. the problem is that america is now seen as a threat.. not an ideal anymore...

That's about $385.00 AU. Trump can stick that fee right up his rapist arse.

It’s a tariff against tourists in a country that can’t pay its own way in the world.

With the Olympics coming in 2028… I guess we’ll know how it affects tourism and the US economy by then

Like tourist needed another reason not to come to here… Donald’s next book…. “The Art of Bankrupting A Government In Less Than A Year.

Bye-bye #FIFA #WorldCup, #Olympics Trump is the dumbest president in American history. #congratulations Everything he touches dies! If we can keep #lauraloomer and his other fluffers away maybe he would be forced to pleasure himself.

Another moronic idea from the #TrumpClownShow. Who needs tourism anyway? Or immigrants with energy and intelligence, especially when there appears to be a deficit of both in a significant part of our current population?

The fee will clean the environment and staff national parks and fund educational exchanges. Just kidding.

Why don’t they just hang a sandwich sign on the State of Liberty saying we’re closed? They might as well.

No shit

I'd pay $250 to never go again tbh. There are so many other allied countries to visit who dont want to shit over thier friends.

Good point.

I know for certain I won't have to pay it. Can you guess why?

And it will get worse as Americas reputation slips further down the toilet … as a tourist destination, as a place to do business, as a place that randomly incarcerates its citizens and as a place that treats visitors as threats.

Anyone visiting that wannabe fascist shithole of a country needs their heads examined. I say this after spending some very enjoyable breaks in the States in the past. Can’t see myself venturing over again anytime soon.

Extreme Travel warning! Don‘t travel to the US! Don‘t apply for ESTA or VISA - waste of time and money. Don‘t fly american airlines - ICE agents might be on board to kidnapp you during flight. Don‘t take planes with a stop in the US - the terror regime might grab you of the plane. Don‘t go US!

Other countries watch as the former country known as "Leader of the Free World" no longer about freedom. No one's comin'

America is a shitty island amusement park for obscenely wealthy slobs and purveyors of inequity.

This is all true and also predictable. Taco is basically saying, “pay us $250 to come see our country and be disappeared by ice, the American Gestapo.” They should start promoting it as a way to actually see what Germany was like in 1935. What a treat! “ America, the world’s fascist time capsule.”

Tbf Fascism never went away, and it's on a global rise right now.

In other news: water is wet

Gee, wonder why there’s a steep decline?

🇨🇦 no thirld world country for me or any Canadian that can be snatched off the street as trump does with children.

To be honest, what tourists in their right minds would want to visit Trump's America & risk being arrested & deported by ICE psychopaths? Rising fees will only make a bad situation worse, as the US currently have as much appeal as Nazi Germany or Israel !!!

Meanwhile America’s “greatest salesman” who made his money in the hospitality business that generates $2.5T for the American economy is telling everyone that the country is a dangerous hellhole crawling with murderers, gangs and rapists roaming the streets. Is this any way to promote tourism?

thats total bs--radical left's talking pt. $250 will not stop international travelers to come to nice n beautiful usa. United States: The Most Popular Travel Destination in 2025 www.realjourneytravels.com/whats-the-nu...

An unsourced article written by AI doesn't prove anything.

Yes another Trump induced problem

Integrity fee. Lol.

They could offer to pay me money and I still wouldn't see the attraction. I suppose if you were a history student majoring in fascist governments you would want to go, seeing how it is being turned into one.🤔

As an American women speaking to all females specifically below 50, don't come here. Your ability to breed can have you questioned, denied medical care causing death, and imprisoned if you miscarry in a red state. Your plane could have to make a emergency landing in a red state.

The Olympics and the World Cup on their way. What could go wrong? 😑

No one shows up, including some (or many) of the athletes This is the first time the Olympic venues have naming rights so they can put up giant ads. Of course.

They could hold olympics just for the US and Israel?

It's going to be a shit show if it's allowed to go on

An Epic shit show indeed.

Of course it will. The IOC and FIFA are just as corrupt as TACO Tit’s administration.

Yes they are but the thousands of people who will want to attend aren’t and a bunch of them might get nabbed by ICE, hence, the possible shitshow.

100%

Greed will kill America’s tourist industry.

Couldn't be the threat of being disappeared could it?

Definitely IS the threat of being disappeared.

$250 and possible detainment doesn’t appeal to foreign travelers? Who knew!

Better odds in Russian roulette.

Might as well cancel the Olympics and World Cup.

Not cancel - just move the venues to Mexico and/or Canada!

Excellent alternatives, indeed! Trump would hate it & hopefully choke on it!

I’d rather see the events cancelled than have their burden shifted to us. Canada doesn’t have the money to waste on this crap, especially not while the fuckwits to the south of us are hellbent on tanking our economy.

Agree

Fair enough. It would have been fun, upsetting DT, but no fun if you had to suffer the consequences. After all, he really must be the neighbour from Hell!

We could probably take on a couple more dozen matches; but luckily, Mexico has been a former (solo) host, and I'm pretty certain the population would welcome holding the majority of the tournament. But Trump and, more importantly, Infantino would never allow it -- 💲💲💲 and loss of face, y'know.

The US, on it's current trajectory, will need to pay for tourist to visit. You couldn't pay me enough to visit that shithole right now. My apologies to all sensible Americans who voted for the lady with the weird laugh.

How much would you PAY a country to vacation in it? For me, the answer is $0.

Fee? I thought it was a $250 incentive - which seemed low. $2,500 - also low. $25,000 - ok, let's talk destinations and minimum duration of stay 🤣

Incompetence has infected corporate America

I'm in the UK Whilst Trump is there Whilst Trump clones are there running things I and so many others will consider the USA toxic To my friends in America and I have a few, my door is always open

I wasn’t planning to go there anyway. Not now they’ve adopted fascism.

BOYCOTT THE OLYMPICS. Your brown skin fellow athletes will be a danger and in danger.

As a Canadian, I don't (yet) need a visa to enter the US. Living within 100kms of the border most of my adult life, I've traveled back & forth too many times to count and spent a lot of $ there. Today, you couldn't pay me to cross. I can't see that changing while this regime is in power. #elbowsup

trump's a fucking ingenious idiot

Ooooh that's an artful deal. 🙄

No shit

All part of the grand tourism strategy!

Greatness comes at a high price.

This could be the new Tourism advert for the US 😀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAwu...

What's the big deal? I will be refunded shortly and quickly.

Tourism to both Canada and Mexico is up substantially. No one who isn't a card carrying Nazi should feel comfortable going to the US. Although I am sure the free trip to El Salvador is very tempting.

Unbelievable nonsense.

Seems like Trump’s target is to eliminate and kill tourism from abroad: Splendid isolation! Old slogan, new success! Next year’s Soccer World Championship will document how low the numbers of foreign visitors will drop. 🤪 Waiting for the weird faces of the FIFA-guys🤪 and their very beautiful games…

How about offering something to bring some integrity to this administration?

They’ll take losing money in the name of meanness, capitulation, and exclusion every time.

That's what they want: to isolate us. Classic abuser behavior.

I don’t think it’s the fee so much as the risk of lifetime imprisonment in an undisclosed location without due process…

Most international travelers also see the fee for what it is, another extorsion scheme. International travelors already pay an "entry fee" via ESTA (ab $100).He has hit different countries in Africa with exorbitant fees for student and work visas already. So this fee is a prelude to what is coming.

The ESTA is 21 dollars (the same way you need to pay ETA in Canada) but these are not visas, but Visa Waiver that only specific countries can apply.

1/2 I know ESTA is for Visa Waiver, and it was the first part of my post. The price of $21 is the base price it used to be, now, the base price will go up to $40 and if you need to have an expedited ESTA response, then the base price starts at $90+ (as far as I remember).

2/2 The second part was about student (university) visas for some African countries where the visa fee has been heigthened to 4-figure $ amounts. My bet is that many of these university student will not be able to carry that additional burden on top of the tuition fees & cost of living.

If they have any sense, they will choose another country!

The fee will make it worse??? 😲 how could that be? You mean people who don’t want to visit your fascist country want to PAY to visit your fascist country even less? 🙄 the evil of banality right there folks Geezus

Most countries charge fees to enter but more like $100 bucks.

My point was more about lame the story summary and headline They should be writing about the money grab and how Trump’s bizarre world view puts exceptionalism on steroids and hurts your country.

But such a fee was already present for the US dependent on the type of visa.

Not true.

Its probably best that travelers stay away during the Authoritarian years here in the US.

Even if you gave me $250 (or even more) and paid for my flights, accommodation and food, I wouldn’t visit the USA. No interest whatsoever. Repulsed by the thought.

I used to travel annually the USA. Not anymore.

He's doing casino bankrupting style management.

I hear Canada is lovely any time of the year...and Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Austria, France, Germany, Iceland, Thailand...

MAKE AMERICA FUCK TRUMP AGAIN!!!!

This country is a poison place. No one should come here.

Don't worry. Nobody wants to go into the US anymore. You cut yourselves off such that you're going to wither and die. Have fun!

MAGA Nazi's just want to burn the whole country down because they hate diversity, freedom and a cosmopolitan nation of people having choices.

Get off my grass. New, and heart felt American sentiment. Deport Lady Liberty

Another brilliant idea!!! 😡😡😡

The GOP Destroys, Hoards, But Never Creates Or Produces Anything But Misery. If The Trump Administration Was A Hostile Foreign Country We'd Be Bombing It About, NOW.

Far out

Good! Vote in a fascist, and the world will respond. I won't even change flights there, no matter the extra cost to fly further or direct.

Suck it

I would not vacation in a country that has a racist administration that steals from the poor to benefit the rich, and has the Gestapo roaming the streets terrifying visitors and citizens.

I reckon you would have not travelled to South Africa 1948 - 1995.

Good comparison. And yes - I wouldn’t have travelled or supported SA and won’t now the US or Israel. Thanks for helping .

I lived in South Africa for a while under Apartheid. We are on that road now. Next, all judges are state functionaries, all stores are closed on Sunday. Full censorship of all media. All phones tapped. All non-whites must carry passes and curfews are in effect. Only whites can vote.

Living in a country where stores are closed on Sunday - that's really not a sign of fascism 😅

Yeah, but, it harks back to the olden days, homework was rushed at the last minute, school diary had to be signed, roast something with mushed vegetables was always the menu, nothing on b&w television until stupid o’clock, or, we had to talk to each other, or iron my own school uniform. Hard times.

I like the idea of shops closed on Sunday. The world might appreciate 1 less day of consuming stuff we could probably do without .

Afrikaners are descendants of Dutch, French and German 17th Century Huguenot Calvinists. The background legislation for the closed shops is found in The Ladenschlussgesetz Laws. Those who would enforce that in the USA would be extreme Christian Evangelical White Nationalists. Just so ya know.

Why not. close them on Wednesdays?

The Ladenschlussgesetz Laws. See my previous post.

While it's historically founded on a Christian base, one of the arguments today in Germany to maintain it is that as many people as possible have *the same day* off to engage in social activities with friends and family, so Saturday v Sunday doesn't make a big difference, Wednesday surely would

Correct and even some trade unions, culinary especially, support closed stores for non religious reasons on Sundays in Germany but the primary motivation remains Conservative Protestantism advocacy from several sects.

Tbh I have very little interest in Christians and their different branches, but always have the impression Catholic regions in Germany are way less progressive where such matters are concerned 🤷🏼

Exactly this .

Immigrants will be less-thans, with minimal human rights protection, unless they slave for decades.

Spot on!

We were already like that before Trump came along. Some countries have issued travel warnings about coming here over gun violence too.

This administration is stupider than *anything* one could deliberately conceive.

Yep. It took many inside and adjacent to The Heritage Foundation to write Project 2025 and gift years to get here.

Good. Lovely that morons threaten to go bankrupt to teach us a lesson. I'm all ears...

Another acronym.

Paying for the privilege of being detained

I hope someone at Forbes understands that he is deliberately trying to crash the economy and starts reporting on it!

How long until this works in reverse, and only those who can afford to pay are allowed to leave the country?

Lols .. Trump bankrupted his businesses, even managed to bankrupt a casino, and like some African tribal warlord in the 1800’s, is now bankrupting the entire country. That’s $250US I’ve saved, thank you Donald. #Thrifty 🤪👍

Wow, you mean people don’t want to pay $250 extra for the privilege of being disappeared by armed thugs for disagreeing with President Thin Skin on Reddit

WAKE UP AMERICA. This administration is going to bankrupt your country.

Whoever initiated this is a real dumbfuckin idiot !! Bye bye tourism 😅😂🤣

Another great idea from the brain of what Trump lackey?

I'm not going back to the US even for work, much less for leisure. And I'm not alone, at least until the US snaps off the stoopid.

Don't people understand that tRump is taking active steps toward our demise, ostensibly for money? Let that sink in.

Another corrupt extortion grift by Sieg Pedoheil…

The entire ROTW should avoid travel to the US until the Fascist Trump regime is out of power.

This administration doesn’t want them there foreigners….

I live in Florida. Before Trump, international tourism contributed billions of dollars to our state's economy. If the current administration hasn't already killed international tourism, this bill certainly will.

That’s the point of it

This will contribute to the boom when the next president removes this and stops imprisoning innocent people.

Stable genius- ugh!

There goes the hospitality industry.

I can’t imagine anyone wanting to visit this country at this time.

The 28 Olympic Games will see the worst participation and attendance ever

I must admit I'm more than happy to keep out of the USA.

Gee. I wonder if anyone in the Felon’s administration ever thought people wouldn’t want to visit the US after viewing the mayhem Republicans have initiated.

You’d have to be stupid to enter this Country right now

I feel stupid living in this country right now...And have seriously thought about trying an asylum claim to get out

We don’t want any americans, clean up your own mess.

Lol. They're building ur concentration asylum hotels right now. Good luck.

Let us know if/where!

Republicans are terrible at business. Lol.

Trump overestimates the world’s desire to travel to a fascist country. There are much better countries to see.

No international events will be held in the US.

USA under Frump - why on earth would you want to go there anyway? I certainly won't be spending any hard-earned there anytime soon.

To be honest USA, there is not a snowball’s chance in hell, many will want to visit a Fascist nation, no matter what the fee. Who would want to run the risk of being being grabbed by a bunch of Fascist government thugs, who decided you don’t look like you should be in the USA.

The stupidity of this administration never fails to amaze me

integrity fee?!? there’s zero integrity in this current admin. zero. can we charge them $ then kick them out of the country? New $250 Visa Integrity Fee Will Cost US $11 Billion, Say Tourism Officials”

This is by design, compliments of Mr. Miller in the administration who seems to be the second most powerful man in the world.

We wouldn't travel to the USA if you paid us. We certainly won't come if you charge us.

Wtf I c all kinds of colored ppl in my hood that ain't from here

It seems they are determined to drive us away. In this case, it's a job well done.

As a Canadian I'm perfectly fine with the US increasing the costs to foreigners who still insist on travelling or working there.

US calling it an "integrity" fee is like ticket sites calling it a "convenience" fee. Like who are you fooling?

One of the problems with electing a racist, xenophobic POTUS and administration is that they don’t think things through, and even if they did, fewer foreign visitors would sound like a good idea to them.

👏👏👏

bsky.app/profile/blue...

I wanna see florida dry up and blow away!

Don't forget TexAss

Thats a given, I so want to roll Abott into on coming traffic!

Yamtits wants to be like his buddy Kim Jong Un and create an isolated country with limited and controlled interactions internationally

The Nazi billionaire sociopaths who own and operate Pussy Ass Bitch--as well as PAB itself--are trying to create another Depression so they can get even more obscenely rich.

I hope like hell the Olympic’s and World Soccer Championships “leap-frog” over USA until the Pedophile In Chief is out of office……PLEASE FOR YOUR SAFETY AND POCKETBOOKS!!

losing $11 Billion yep, I suppose to some that sounds like we’re winning 🙄 all depends on the spin

Feature not a bug. I am amazed the DOJ, DOD, NSA etc have let Putin do this.

Throwing people into for-profit concentration camps probably isn’t helping either

Fleecing tourists.

Is this an intentional action to destroy another industry and the people who make their living from it: agents, restaurants, hotels large and small,transportation companies -airlines,car rental agencies,bus companies, trains, taxis. There's more I’m sure. What's the point? To what end?

Working as designed. They don’t want these pesky foreigners, and if they’re stupid enough to come they must pay. However you are very welcome if you’re a rich fuck who can afford the Trump Gold Card for 5 million dollars (probably right into Donnies pocket).

Looking for evidence of this indie journos. Can you help?

Go to Canada instead

The anal cavity search is still free.

They can have anything they find in mine

You couldn’t pay me any amount of money to visit the US today but in the past I went to the US every 2 weeks-factor in the lost hotel, taxi, restaurant and sometimes Scientific Symposium fees……

This is the video taken by my daughter returning from Italy (Rome) around 2 in the afternoon around the third week of July. NOBODY from Italy coming to the US.

Italy knows an authoritarian wannabe when they see it. Rightfully, wisely, they avoid US.

Clearly the Italians know to avoid hostile nations.

Great minds concur on truth.

🙄
