JD Vance jokes about deporting tourists attending 2026 World Cup
The vice president warned people attending the five-week tournament next year not to overstay their welcome, or there would be consequences.
JD Vance attempted a charm offensive on Tuesday, and failed with the charm while succeeding in being offensive.
It happened during an announcement that former Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani’s son, Andrew Giuliani, would be leading a task force for the 2026 World Cup, which will take place in the United States, Canada and Mexico next year.
Rather than stoke excitement for a global event that could be a tourism cash cow for North America, Vance decided to take a different approach — and joked about deporting the potential thousands of tourists visiting the U.S. for the occasion.
You're viewing a single thread.
And they wonder why tourism is decreasing
I guess I'm more risk adverse than most because I was pretty stunned to last see the decline is only single digit % still globally besides Canada.
That's because overseas vacationers to the US buy their tickets many months ahead of time for deeper discounts and to make sure they can get a hotel room. Give it a couple more months...
Were a few months out for the other shoe to drop on a lot of this shit. Ships take a long time to get places, once the last ones are done with their routes, they wont be coming back. Retailers have stockpiles and wearhouses for things, but those only last so long.
I expect to really start noticing thing to be out of stock by mid-late summer and expect the 2025 holiday season to be a consumerist bloodbath (pay attention to Spirit Haloween, they grow on the corpses of other businesses and their unexpired building leases, if they dont show up, thats an indication that shits gotten real)
It’s sad to see the numbers that low but I think that percentage will continue to climb. I would think a lot of the visitors have planned out these trips quite a while ago and may not be able to change or refund them. Going forward, I would think the number of tourists willing to go to the US will decline.
it's not decreasing, it's gone.
