rely purely on the UBER Rich, and any Corporations/Countries wishing to gain favors or political brownie points from him............

It is a beautiful job of grifting that rewards him directly........and surely he has a bunch of his employees soliciting bribes, and laundering money 24/7

Yeah, the horizontal scale is interesting.

I'm sure it's not meant to mis-characterize anything.

claiming that domestic travel within the USA is cheaper without the foreigners.

I suppose Americans who work in the travel industry might not be too thrilled with this. Less business for hotels, resorts, tours, theme parks, international flights, etc.

trump is doing his best to kill tourism in the US.

The Felon-in-Chief has already cut tourism in half, now he's going to kill it altogether.

'Death knell': Internet blasts Trump for 'decimating' tourism with social media crackdown

President Donald Trump was under fire from critics on Wednesday who accused him of killing tourism in the United States with a new policy that would require visitors to undergo social media inspections.

Under the new rule, international travelers would have to provide their social media history over the last five years, The Guardian reported.....

"If you want to ban foreign tourism, just say so. Don't demand that tourists prove they've never criticized the Dear Leader like some creepy Maoist cult. Oh, and good luck with the 2026 World Cup, or ever getting the Olympics or another international event here again," Brookings Institute fellow Jessica Riedl wrote on X.

"The Trump administration plans to require all foreign tourists to provide their social media histories from the last five years to enter the country. Yes, I said TOURISTS — not immigrants. This is insane. It will DECIMATE the U.S. tourism industry," Jon Cooper, majority leader of Suffolk County legislature and former Long Island campaign chair for Barack Obama, wrote on X.

"Yeah this is the death knell for tourism. It doesn’t matter if it passes or not. It scares people. And thats enough. People don't want to be scared on vacation," Gabrielle Ferry, founder of The Thurman Perry Foundation, wrote on X.
