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.
I've been to over 50 countries in all seven continents, and I've lived in four of those. Never did I feel anything that I would would describe as fear.
I will be travelling to the US for an exchange program next month. I am afraid. To the point I am actually considering cancelling what could be a career changing opportunity.
How funny will it be when all of the seats are empty? Americans don't care about soccer, this event will be funded by tourism and now those folks will be opting out. If I were planning this event I'd be livid. Vance, shut your stupid fucking mouth and never speak again as long as you live.
God I h8 this man and all of the gop goons. It blows my mind that I’m 2 years older than couch fucker. Yet my mindset is a complete 180° compared to him.
Fortunately, if this shit keeps up, there are two other countries where to celebrate matches. Mexico is shaping up nicely for the World Cup, and tourism comes natural to our culture.
As long as MAGA policies and the walking farts responsible for them are in place/in charge, I will never again set foot on US soil. There are plenty of other places to visit.
Most of the matches are in red or previous swing states, Washington is the only actually blue state on the roster, this would just be more hurting their own
If you are coming to the US for the world cup you are fucking stupid. You're going to spend thousands of your preferred currency to get harassed by Customs and if you fuck up and get arrested for whatever little thing the police that stops you has up his ass that day you run the risk of ending up in South America or Africa but not the part you are from, in a jail somewhere getting fucked.
Unless you are white, if you're white come on over, have a beer. Remember, though, even if you are Spanish, Italian, Greek, or any of those other darkies you gay commie Europeans call white, you are going to get lumped in with the Mexicans, especially if you speak Mexican or eye tie.
I would not take such words as "jokes" anymore. I take them as an open and dire warning not to travel to the US until the government has been taken care of.
I’m just honestly so confused. Do they want to expel all non-white people and non-Christian white people, refuse entry to everyone including tourists, and basically just close themselves off from the rest of the world like a population of white hikikomori?
What a swell idea, Vance! I've been trying to figure out how to persuade my compatriots why visiting the US aren't worth the risks, and it really helps when the Vice President makes my case for me. Cheers, buddy!
I wonder if the IOC will be using the World Cup as a test bed. This certainly will not go well - there will be horrific stories coming from the few athletes and tourists that DO come for some reason, and attendance will be otherwise annihilated. What are the chances that the 2028 Summer Olympics in LA get moved? They'll have 2 full years to ramp up in another city elsewhere in the world, probably one that has had the Olympics in the recent past and has the infrastructure built out already.
Lol 100% americans still don't do Riots... So 💯% americans still accept this and they act like "hello fuck you all on earth get die" FCK you Amerika
Edit: To the downvoters... Greetings from Germany... After generations you will still be labeled a Nazi ( Well americans will labeled not the same). Have fun in your future... Those who know the history and do nothing but think they are smarter than the MAGA supporters. Too bad your children will suffer the most for your mistakes.
Made in "any US state" already means = don't buy, Trash quality.
And today in our "How to kill tourism in your country for one of the biggest worldwide events" class, we examine JD Vance and his idiotic comments about the world cup.
Been to Canada and Mexico.
Flew over that shithole but that's as close I want to come to that awful country, no matter who's in charge.
I've heard plenty horrible stories from people I know who got treated badly by their gestapo cops and border goons.
