If I was considering traveling to North America, I'd rather visit Canada. The US is destroyed before Trump is finished, and I doubt he will allow another election.
I've been to California, Arizona, Colorado, Utah and Nevada. Deadly hot, way too hot for me. Arizona had some great scenery. Never been to Canada, probably more my kind of experience.
The thing is that you could have a valid work visa or even permanent resident status and the Trumpists will arrest you. No one is safe. I would say even citizens are unsafe. This is Russia level travel warning. A UKian is safer on Iran.
My son is a dual British/American citizen and is planning to visit us in May. I am concerned that POTUS may take it into his head to repatriate anyone born abroad, and he would be denied re-entry.
This is the news today: A French scientist, who traveled to the U.S. on assignment for the National Center for Scientific Research, was refused entry to the U.S. after airport immigration officers found messages on his phone criticizing the Trump administration, the French government said.
There was a German permanent resident detained. There was a Canadian citizen with a valid visa refused entry and later detained. There was a Lebanese doctor on a visa or permanent resident status who was deported. I’m sure there are a lot more and more will be documented.
They'll start arresting those of us who have been vocal, also, student loan debt may become a reason, we're educated, but what do I know. No one is safe
America was always a pariah. We always talked behind your back and roll out eyes to each other when Americans belly up to the trough at a resort buffet, loudly and arrogantly give their views or drone strike kids at another wedding overseas. Now people just say it out loud now, not a new sentiment
Now now, a self promoting “milf” has important things to say. How brave and classless to talk behind anyone’s back. Really, it’s never too late to delete a post, rewrite and come back with some decent trash talk. It can’t be that hard. There’s plenty to run with.
Oh for gods sake. No you weren’t. You’re a world power, have a vastly over weighted influence on culture, are an extremely popular travel destination. This was *after* a Trump presidency.
America was Regina George. We admired her and we resented her. We dreamed of becoming her. We hated her for looking down on and dismissing all the rest of us. She dominated everything. She was beauty and cruelty and inspiration and stupidity at all once, and we could not imagine a world without her.
Out of literally every imaginable evil act, you choose restaurants and being blunt? Drone strikes are even done globally by global agencies. Pick a few really good ones next time instead of mixing soft metaphors eh?
In fairness. Those of us who are poor in America; also roll our eyes at those Americans who go to resorts. They ruin our beaches and our forests and that of other countries, they are arrogant rich fools who think they are better than the rest of us who work at the places they take for granted.
Wow. Wow. Whoa. Slo ur roll sister. First of all, uh, mean. And secondly i’m generally disgusted with a lot of people in my country. But I certainly wouldn’t lump all of us together. Especially in such an unkind way. And neither should anyone else.
While it is always good advice to follow the rules, it’s almost impossible to know exactly what the rules are now, and individual border agents have a lot of discretion. So who would pay for an expensive vacation or conference only to be denied entry and have their laptop stolen. Not me!
They're outsourced to private companies that get paid for each person kidnapped and each day they spend in detention.
So the motive is simply to line somebody's pockets.
The only kind of respect Trump understands or recognises is more properly called FEAR. And yes, almost every nation is now pretty afraid of what the US will do next - economically, diplomatically, militarily. So as far as Trump's concerned, mission accomplished 👍🏻
Is there not a DM feature on here or am I just getting too old to navigate the tech properly? Just want to say, I appreciate the content in Replies on your profile. Beem meaning to try to follow more like-minded UK posters, I'm drowning in US & Canadian content at the mo
I'm naturalized and now mindful that risk from travel in/out of the country is just too 'unclear'. Even as a citizen. I think the rule is 'that there are no rules'.
Yes. Be very careful with any social media criticism of the orange one. If you have indulged, I'd delete any trace of the account/s ( I'm not sure that's even possible nowadays though).
How awful. We need people with skills to help drive our economy. We should be not mistreating them or driving them away. We do not have an unemployment problem as MAGA says. Their ignorance will have consequences.
There are going to be a lot less backpackers coming to the US to do the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail or other long distance hikes. I’d be scared about being able to get back home given what I’m seeing.
Sadly, as of January 25, 2025 those days are over. One used to be able to finish the PCT hike a short distance into Canada and get a convenient bus home. The border is now closed.
It's already happened multiple times to tourists and people who are in the US completely legally. One of them got deported because he had some posts that were negative about Trump. Like it or not, the US is a dictatorship now. We need to call it what it is.
Oh yeah, I wouldn't take the risk. At this point, I'd put nothing past this administration. My mom keeps saying stuff like, "they can't do that", and I keep having to explain to her that it's already happening.
Well, you have to understand that while she was staying with people for conventions, she would tidy their house for them a bit. I would say she's "worse than Hitler", but Hitler is good now, so she's worse than Stalin.
Friends around the world DO not visit the United States for now unless emergency (loved one)
You risk being held against your will coming in or leaving.
You risk being heckled or physically confronted by MAGA maniacs if you have any kind of accent.
If you are brown/black especially dangerous for You
I have friends, a family, with a holiday booked and paid for to Florida next month from Scotland. Will holiday companies now refund these now that its been deemed as possibly unsafe do you think?
It would be different if the home office issued a warning not to travel to a place but all they've said is make sure your paperwork is order or you might be detained, which isn't grounds for most ordinary people to not go to a country. That's not serious enough for travel insurers.
I'm in London. I don't want to go back to the US. I don't feel safe. My government is destroying the country. I'm a woman, definitely not safe. I can't find a job in the UK, and visa costs are beyond my reach. I love it here and hate the US. Sigh.
It sounds like they don’t even have to break the rules to be detained tho. Best advice I can give as an American, don’t come here right now or while this craziness is going on. Break our tourism industry and when they want to know why, the world can respond with their people don’t want to be jailed.
lol! That would be woefully stupid to do! I’m just waiting for the opening of the first stateside concentration camp (there probably already is one that we don’t know about). People are going to start disappearing on a grander scale soon.
They’re just sending them to collaborating country jails and for-profit prisons. See treatment of those who have been disappeared already. Here’s one example.
Didn’t know about that one! I’d honestly be surprised if they sent adult US Citizens that were born here to another country, I don’t think they will do that. They’re concentrating on immigrants (even naturalized) right now, but when it shifts to citizens, it will be contained within the US.
Well, it wouldn’t be safe for a lot of the athletes to travel to USA because apparently you’re process any processing to decide who should be there or not is untrustworthy. You even pick up legal citizens. Why would you want to come and I don’t think you should host the World cup either
We'll know sooner than that. Next year is the World Cup, to be hosted by the USA, Mexico, and Canada. I don't see how that's going to work out with things as they are now, and the direction they're going.
They better start looking at alternative sites, like now. Just call it off already because their will be ICE at every World Cup stadium in the country. Count on it.
Agree but wider than skin colour and religion I think. Hitler is known for exterminating the Jews but he also targeted trade unionists, clerics, the disabled, Romany people and other so called ‘inferior’ people and homosexuals.
First Canada, now the UK and Germany….who’s next?
Everyone in the industry will suffer…airlines, hotel chains, small businesses…
Is anyone tired of winning yet? 🤷🏻♀️
I didn’t forget anyone….havent heard anything about their governments issuing travel advisories…..I’ve no doubt we will though….along with other nations in EU
After the scientist and the musician, I knew they would…..wonder what the count will be in the morning?
This summer is gonna be a doozy
I do feel bad for hotel and restaurant owners who will take a big hit……unless they voted for this shit….
I don't understand why anyone would want to visit the United States at the moment.... the damage done by Trump to the US will be immense. As an European I will never trust the US again
As a person from the US, I agree with you. We shouldn't have this felon and evil minions running this country. But, he we are, stuck with this prick for the next four years. At least, I hope it's only the next four years. He's actively trying to destroy our country from the inside out.
Look at the damage they'd done in just two months.
By the end of this term it will take decades to put right assuming you elect someone with an interest in fixing it and not a complete fascist again.
That's assuming you get to have elections again, of course.
As a Brazilian, I have NEVER trusted Americans. I don't want to generalize, but American governments have had CRIMINAL influence in my country. Unfortunately, Americans DESERVE what they are going through, because they voted wrong and the consequences are coming... and at a gallop!
We need to stop thinking there will ever be another fair election. Those days are gone. When the orange turd finally dies he’ll be replaced by another crazy evil sycophant. There is no democracy it’s dead.
...or just being a punk rock band apparently. Someone on here posted that members of UK subs were sent back to london, after entering the country with the correct paperwork, after 24 hours in detention.
I'll never forget the Ian Curtis quote, I forget what the venue was (not in Manchester obvs) where the crowd weren't exactly fans so he says to them, "Right, sorry we're not the UK Subs"
I am curious how our. current administration’s behavior will affect the World Cup and Olympics. Has to give other countries pause. Such a sad state of affairs
My employer gave travel advice last week not to travel to the US, but that was in relation to the possible government shutdown and travel consequences related to that.
- We have planes crashing at an unprecedented rate in recent years
- You may be detained for no good reason before being deported (for days or months depending on skin color and origin)
- Racism and intolerance to foreigners is sky high.
Everyone who didn't vote because "......." Or, worse, voted for a convicted felon, and worse because "you know, Kamala did this" is exactly the problem.
And, notice how the convicted felon can only "win" against women?
Sure, he "beat" Hillary with less votes. And <50%popular vote this time. 🤷♂️
Even the idiots who voted for Trump didn't really think he'd do all this. In my corner of the country, at least, I'm hearing a lot of shock and remorse.
They should be the loudest voices at Town Halls. Until Congress reps feel the fire of anger from ‘their own’ they’ll just keep taking the Trumpian dollar
It's more than that. The saddest part is all the people that didn't vote or are too young. The reality is probably something like 25 to 30% of the country actually approves of any of this. They're just very loud right now.
I ALMOST left for England last year.. Had a mover lined up, my visa was approved. Then family hell broke loose and I wasn't able to go.
But at least my visa is still current, and I know who to call to get a job over there, cause they need computer experts BAD... 1,000 job openings in my specialty
We are looking for a country to move to. I'm quite vocal, marcher, boycotter, and hope we can get this mess turned around, but still, a lot of MAGA racists in control have angered and scared us.
Alternatively, go via Dublin so you are immigration cleared before you step on the plane, and go through domestic arrival channels with no ICE goons at the American end?
Tiny bit confused by this as wouldn't that still be an international flight? Either way, you're going through American customs in an airport and arriving international, not domestic.
As the last Battle of Britain pilot dies, we are entering a world where Britain and France applaud a German military buildup to combat the growing threat of a fascist US. 😕
Nahhh. Nobody wants to say that to the Canadians or the Australians or the New Zealanders or the... okay some countries DO want to say it to the British and that's fair. But still! Lots of English speaking countries in the world!
If Starmer grew a pair he would say this is 1st and last time this happens. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly67j35y99o
America is so far down the Rabbit Hole, GL the GOP getting the party back. Trump II is like a very bad made for TV sequel. #trump #ice #maga #musk
"Every day it's new decrees" adds a point I hadn't thought of. Unless you book a next-day international flight, which is unaffordable for most, who knows how much worse border shenanigans will get in the weeks between you booking a flight to US and actually getting on the plane? Big risk to book.
Good, but I don't know why any sane person would want to go there right now unless they unfortunately have to but certainly not for a vacation although there are probably quite a few deals now
not wanting to cause any alarm, it's not so much when you are there as many Americans feel the same as New Yorkers, its the boarder control with ice hanging around that would worry me thinking about the Welsh lady & the Canadian lady both with correct papers both got iced. Request ZOOM
Every other country should issue the same warning because it’s a dangerous country to go to on lots of levels and they shouldn’t be rewarded with visitors. as well as other countries should be not giving travel visas to Americans to enter their country because they can’t be trusted at this point .
They turned back a French scientist who was attending a conference because they found criticism of Trump’s destruction of university research on his phone. In personal messages.
Described the criticism as potentially ‘terrorism’.
As citizens they could set the FBI on you for your texts.
Lesson is don’t take any personal devices across any barrier where Border Force, ICE, or TSA could possible demand to inspect it.
Madness that you have to do this for fear of your own government but that’s the reality.
I often steal the essence of the line from Top Secret. "I used to live in America. But I was one of the lucky ones. I escaped in a balloon during the first Trump regime."
Entry requirements, i.e. any weird right wing stuff they make up. They should speak the truth: you could be subject to illegal and arbitrary arrest and imprisonment in violation of 50 international human rights laws.
My 14 year old is travelling alone to see his American family this summer and even though he’s got an American passport along with his British one I’m terrified for him entering the country. 😐
Love how this will affect all the tourism. I won't even travel to my own state's (SC) beaches.......Certainly NOT going to floriDOH or texASS or any other red state's anything. I won't even buy gas out of my red state unless it's a blue state. Have a hybrid...I CAN make it.
Will miss them. Be Safe!
Yes, that’s one of the criteria that’s actually been used to arrest and deport people - they said something mean (or just factual) about the big Tangerine Snowflake.
And note that entry requirements can include "have you ever smoked marijuana" as a reason to deny you entry. Even if you live in place where it's legal, like Canada.
And also that you have to pass US Customs if you are doing a STOPOVER FLIGHT that lands in the US. So don't book your flight overseas with a stop in the states - fly direct, fly around, fly anywhere but the USA.
My favourite question is “have you ever been a spy” like if you were a spy you would say yes. Surely 1.01 of spycraft is not telling people you’re a spy 🤣
They've been warning everyone about Florida for years.I recall seeing a travel advisory that suggested not leaving tourist and urban settings if you have an accent in Florida 4 years ago when I was researching for a friend who wanted to visit. https://naacp.org/articles/naacp-issues-travel-advisory-florida
Add on the new condo requirements for full reserves and retrofitting creating bigger and bigger assessments even after the assessment was made initially as the actual invoice for retrofitting is larger than the estimate bc of inflation.
Are there closings at the higher numbers? The asking prices are up, but the closings are down. There are large permitted projects with For Sale signs bc the developer that got the permits doesn’t want to break ground. I’m looking at a huge luxury complex that is unoccupied. Started in 2019.
The last big wave of real estate sales around here was to Venezuelans and Canadians. Before that it was Brazilians. The Spring Breakers are here, but it’s not that crowded compared to past years.
I'll see if I can find stats, but for now I'm still going to assume that the majority of RE sales are to people already residing in the country and sales to foreign nationals are more of a 'lucrative bonus.' Either way, unless those sales are largely money laundering (Hmmm! 🧐) it's going to tank.
We the people have to find a way to get together en masse and act as one unit. The democratic congress and senate have thrown in the towel and have joined the Nazis. It's entirely up to us now. We have to get off our computers and cell phones and ipads and do something. Before we wind up in an oven.

I think Angus King suggested same for us in Canada. Many Canadians have winter places, and cottages in the US.😓I can't remember a time that things were this bad between us, and I'm in my 60's living very close to the border.🇨🇦💙🇺🇲
This really goes into depth about how truly evil Neo liberalism really is. England did have their version of Obama bailed out the billionaires with a trifecta in 09. D party is further right wing than her. Harris Ran as our thatcher. Thatcher vs trump the choice 2024.
Guess that they don’t even have to set a travel bans on the US to keep people out of there, nobody in a right mind wants to go to a fascist country with no laws being followed…
Yet we are going to allow into the UK a convicted felon and adjudicated Rapist and worse than that, honour him with a state visit and a night at Balmoral.
#fuckthatforalark
It would be very satisfying to see it rescinded. But I think the UK powers that be are trying to keep Trump sweet as long as possible. At the slightest excuse he will ditch ALL Ukraine aid, and at the next he may join forces with Russia AGAINST Europe. Europe needs time to build its military assets.
Wait they’re having him at Balmoral? I thought Scotland said “uh fuck no, he’s not allowed in” ?? Did I dream that or are we just not allowed to say no to it? Wtf?
And the foreign air travel industry was already ruined when allies started issuing travel warnings for their citizens not to go to the US, so it turns out they didn’t need all those air traffic controllers after all.
Maybe they need to add having anything critical of trump on your phone/tablet/laptop as I understand a French scientist attending for a conference was refused entry for that ‘crime’. Apparently it’s an indication that you may be a terrorist - who knew?
Not now but later. America is a beautiful country with a huge racist problem. American exceptionalism will take care of this problem. There are to many wonderful human beings here. Keep the faith.
I work for a US company and sometimes travel to America to teach courses when they are lacking a US instructor. I am not going to be silent about my respect for democracy and my disrespect for Musk's Nazi salutes. So I won't be teaching in the US while Trump and Musk are in power.
Same here I work for a global company with one of its main HQ in the US. I am in the UK and will refuse as much as possible to travel to the US. I am gay, french and I don't want to be arrested 🤷🏻♂️
I've never been as relieved to have dual citizenship in my life. I'm mortified to admit I'm an American citizen, so I'm sticking with Irish again. It's a horrible feeling to be embarrassed and disgusted by your own country. I sincerely apologize to non Americans. We are a hate filled bigoted country
Can’t because of work and family unfortunately. I will absolutely not be staying here in retirement. That’s for from sure. A majority of people in this country care only about harming anyone who isn’t white, straight, Christian , heterosexual. I cannot even imagine what trans kids are going through
That’s okay, here we need to supply OUR birth certificate in order to collect social security when Trump’s mandates are bought by our foreign government.
going to have to carry a burner phone with nothing on it if you go to the US. Sure you can search my empty phone that isn't even configured yet, be my guest. I just bought it, haven't set it up yet until I buy a simcard in the US.
It will be very interesting to see how this BS affects attendance at the Olympics and World Cup. I think people from traditionally allied countries would be foolish to travel here right now.
Not immediately. Most information is still disseminated in publications.
99% or so of American scientists are of sound mind and didn’t want any of this. They will not be let down or forgotten by their colleagues elsewhere.
But US conferences are a no go in the foreseeable future.
Scientists will easy find a new home in either Europe or Canada. They will get support if they wish to move. You get good working conditions, health care and free speech. Migrate as long as your borders are open.
wtf? Ok tons of questions!!! First of all, what right does any security person have to go through someone’s phone? How would they be able to access it? I guess I’m going down a rabbit hole to find out more details! I have even more questions!! Geez!!
I think that they can legally force you to unlock it with biometrics like fingerprint and Face ID but they need to get a warrant to obtain a pin or password. So likely people having biometrics enabled on their devices
You are indeed correct! I know for a 💯% fact ( in my state of Pennsylvania ) that if I’m arrested then my phone is as well. They consider it a part of you 🙄 and they can use your finger print & your eyes to open up the ph. But they cannot compel you to give up your 6 digit code. I use a passcode. JS
P.2 I’m not planning on being arrested but history tends to repeat itself and I was mistakenly arrested when I arrived In Las Angeles the first time back in 1994. My taxi driver reported me saying I was a wanted fugitive. Got to my hotel, hopped in the shower then a knock came! The LEO drive me-
P.3 drove me back to my hotel. Paul was from SF & a Rookie!! We ended up dating!! 👍🏼💯💯 We had 🌱 in common!!
So, even though it ended up being a pleasant & interesting situation. The next mistake could be much, much worse!! 😹👍🏼💯
If they checked my SM they’d know I think OrangeBollox is an absolute w⚓️ and president skum is thick as 💩. I’d be in Guantanamo within seconds of landing! Won’t be venturing to the “land of the free” for a very long time (i.e. until he’s ⚰️ 💀)
First I’ve heard about this Welsh woman. Incarcerated for 3 weeks??? Horrible.
A Canadian businesswoman was jailed in a freezing prison with little food for 4 weeks when she tried to reenter the US from Mexico.
They forgot: possible arrest for criticizing Russian Useful Idiot (and his idiot gang), having ever been associated in any way with social justice, or for calling a genocide a genocide.
The private detention centers are happy to make $ on the windfall of random detentions.
Once they get you?No one knows anything about where you are,what you’re there for, what your rights are? This is torture.
These Private detention centers were there under Biden -They need to be illegal. ASAP.
Canada needs to align with the UK on this BS. FFS normal people of the USA, get off your devices and hit the streets! This is some serious, world changing, horrific BS!
My American friend wants to visit Scotland this year and I’m tempted to just tell him to like… leave the US and never go back. Like just… stay here. I know it’s nowhere near as simple as that but the guy is Not white and I’m worried about him getting detained trying to go home
What's truly insane is that I can't dismiss your concerns as an overreaction. This regime is plucking people out of universities and scrubbing references to women and non-whites, so... yeah.
I want to visit Scotland, and stay. It’s been a dream of mine most of my life. I have a child with a neurological disease and I want us out of the States.
Let’s face it no sane person would travel to the USA now. Half the country is a bunch of fascist Nazis and the government just wants to kill as many gays and deport as many minorities as they can. It’s horrific.
Good. Since trump is an insult to the free world, I am happy for him to be insulted back. Cause him as many tantrums as you can. I want ppl here to wake up to the infantile and insane behavior that 272 fascists are mollycoddling. I want FL to take a major hit so reflection is done on scott desantis
I'm astounded it took this long. I don't know how many countries have travel warnings out about us, but it should be all of them. It's simply not safe to come here anymore. Thank God tourism and higher education are such a tiny, insignificant fragment of our GDP, HE SAID, OBVIOUSLY SCREAMING INSIDE!
Oh great, that forgotten tweet on Elon & The Orange Man Baby might now be my ticket to a US detention centre. Guess I’d better pack a toothbrush & a lawyer!
Agreed. Especially then and especially the young trans folks.
I’ve never been patriotic but every day is a new low in this septic Isle and has been since 2016. But for trans folks right now it’s truly horrific
This has arisen as an issue in Canada as well, though I think most employers are aware of the hell that would come down on them right now if they pressured a Canadian employee to travel to the USA and something happened to them.
Yup. The problem is that without a national travel advisory or a similar finding, an employee could end up having to go to court to prove they had a reasonable belief the work was unsafe, which a horrible experience even if you win. But regardless, I don't think any company really wants that fight.
Here in BC, WorkSafe would become involved after the employee informs their supervisor. The supervisor makes attempts to eliminate the risk. Thereafter, WorkSafe takes over. Given that an Abbotsford "White" woman was held in an ICE detention camp for 2 weeks, I don't think it'd be problematic.
And yet, here in Canada, we allow US CBP agents to run preclearance facilities at Canadian airports, which means Canadians could be detained on our own soil!!! Astonishing.
And those entry requirements are subject to change without notice. Most of the world needs to fully understand that Trump's America does not welcome foreigners unless you have enough money to put directly in his pocket and if you don't like Trump, there's no telling where they'll send you.
It is now necessary to obtain a visa to visit UK. Whether it’s for work or a pleasure. I just got that a couple of weeks ago. But now I’m afraid to travel abroad because I don’t want to be heckled for being American. I’m even thinking about buying a Canadian looking passport cover.
Trump’s approval rating is still around 50%. That’s half the nation. Unfortunately he’s not an isolated instance. The US is no longer a friendly nation.
Time was that we fancied visiting to see The Grand Canyon. Now there's a Canyon of Decency obstacle,meaning that the USA is off our bucket 🪣 list and 🇨🇦 third visit is looking likely.
Never going. Not sure if I'll ever trust America again. Reappraising it's role and support across history now. Very reluctantly came to the support of UK and rest of Europe during WW2. There never was a special relationship it was always one sided imo.
If and when he leaves, there are a lot of others going to continue what has been started. JDV just one of them, but there are many more. This isn’t a one man show, this is a cult with an agenda!
Funny how every President starting wars across the globe for generations was accepted by many. Drone striking weddings, supporting terrorists across, over throwing elected governments providing weapons to murderous regimes... All good. Took Trump to make people realize what America is about.
Cute that you think all it will take for America to recover (in general) is him not being president anymore. Why would all the nations America has hurt change their minds when it could simply be another 4 years until it happens again?
Your country has dug itself into a deep hole, and it's going to take far more than just voting for a Democrat in the next election (if there even is an election) to get out of it.
I would bet that regardless of who's president this is the kind of thing that will take a full generation to recover from, at a minimum. Maybe 2 generations. 2 generations with a non-Nazi America and the people making the decisions wouldn't have a personal memory of this nightmare
Yes, I agree with you because it's incomprehensible to the rest of the world that the USA voted twice for a man who bragged on camera that he liked to assault women by grabbing them by the pussy and they voted for him even knowing he was a convicted felon.
If this regime's lawlessness continues for his full term, I wonder how we're going to still be the host-site for 2028 Olympics? It's supposed to be in Los Angeles. IDK. Maybe Olympics should be held in a country that believes in freedom and diversity!
For those unaware, Musk's DOGE has cut employees in our national parks.
Even American families who want to take their kids to Yellowstone, etc. will not be going now. They're concerned if they need help from a park ranger, no one will be there.
(Trump wants to sell nat'l park land/take for himself.)
Yes there is a possibility of that.. I was a regular visitor, have some great memories and experiences, but I will never be back.. too anxious and a little fearful, not worth spending hard earned money to feel like that
Sadly it was not just him. There are millions of nasty little minions gleefully enabling his hatred.
I think this is the end of the USA as a destination, and possibly as a world power even after he dies which will hopefully be soon.
The Pax Americana is over
Canada should get a warrant against Trump at the Den Haag for gang kidnapping. He should not be allowed to put his feet on ground outside the US without being arrested. Tronald Dumb is responsible for this. Get this criminal. He can not buy the justice outside of his gang area.
I think the constant hunger and malnutrition probably caps their competitiveness. I guess we'll have a first hand experience with our own team in a few years
The national parks are going to have a disastrous summer. Park personnel have been fired across the country. Tourists will find locked gates greeting them at the entrances.
Ya know, I thought of that. I grew up and live near Mt. Rainier. Camped in that area since I was a child. It gets CRAZY up there once the pass reopens (it closes from November to early June). Everyone all the sudden needs to get back to nature. It's a 2 lane road from Puyallup to Naches.
It makes me sick watching tRump treating our decades long friends and allies like crap. He is the worst thing that’s happened to our country and there are STILL millions who worship him 😡
From the other side of the world, we look on with incredulity, disbelief and hoping the constitution has an ‘out’ for you folks. This Putin fanboy has to go soon before you end up in civil war - but it might take that to make enough force for change. Hopefully the military will side with right.
That’s what I’m afraid of. I believe Krasnov’s goal is to make it so bad that people take to the streets, so he can then declare martial law.
Bye bye democracy
Florida/Disney World is aggressively marketing to Canadians right now. It's too late - there are only 2 weeks left to catch Cdn March Break vacationers. But since DeSantis said 3.5 million Canadians doesn't sound like much of a boycott, I don't think they need to worry - #Sarcasm
I've seen youtube videos of Canadians saying they'll never go to Florida again because the locals have been treating them so badly since Trump took office. Admittedly biased sampling but doesn't give the impression they're much worried about losing foreign tourists
I don't think FL sees it now. Most Cdn snowbirds are on their way home & won't be affected by the new 30-day registration policy. US$ rates & ⬆️ house ins. were already making FL less desirable. It's unknown how many will return in the fall. Some definitely won't be back. Europe is another question.
According to Visit Florida, the state’s tourism marketing agency, 6.38 million visitors came to the state from other countries last year. Nearly 1.2 million of those came from the United Kingdom, which at 18 percent was the second-most of any country behind Canada.
Right now, we are in the midst of spring break season for American schools. For the interim, they will be fine. I feel like they will start feeling impact in 6 months or less. If Americans who prop it up are losing their jobs, they won't go. Then they will feel the pain. More jobs will be lost.
Is it possible to avoid tourism in red states in America because I highly doubt they won’t safe either and apart from blue states, I don’t think it’s entirely safe and I’m very concerned about regarding safety and I wish we had alternatives for transportation. 🥲
It’s horrible. Depressing, heartbreaking. The place we were born in is being destroyed around us n the ones who should help and stand in the way are either complicit or useless.
If you were planning on spending a fortune on flights to go to Disney then maybe consider going to Disney Tokyo instead? My sister took her kids there and they had the best time ever there! It’s a WAY better theme park, food, drinks, entertainment, hotels etc were also all A LOT cheaper than the US!
My sister is like a very big disney fan so she’s been to basically every theme park and she says by far the best is Tokyo followed by Paris, Florida and Anaheim are well… they’re nice but everything is expensive and getting on rides is a nightmare so she said it’s not worth the cost of flights
I’m sorry that this nice tradition ends before it could start. I am so ashamed by the actions of our government. Please know that we here in Minnesota (and other states I’m sure) love our Canadian neighbors. I hope you can find another way to continue grandparent<->grandchild bonding ❤️!
All part of the plan to completely isolate us. When the enemies without cease to exist, he will without a doubt turn to the enemies within. That’s you and me.
looming recession.... I keep hearing this. As fast as this is going, if it's a recession that will be for those wealthy enough to not be all that effected by it. For the vast many in the USA it will be a depression and the end for them.
But let's just all talk about a recession for the privileged.
I’m sure they already have done. After all it’s not rocket science 😉. They likely have a continually updating database of social media users critical of the Trump regime. I very much doubt I’ll be even attempting to fly over until he’s gone.
Those deported include doctors and academics who have been INVITED to US conferences, and had their phones searched for anti-trump opinions. So much for freedom of speech, eh?

Fuck Trump and Fuck everyone and anyone who voted for this giant orange piece of shit.

This is different. In just two months, other countries are not just looking down on us, they are afraid to even come here.
It sucks for a lot of us, too.
Ken:
You from the States?
Jimmy:
Yeah. But don't hold it against me.
Ken:
I'll try not to... Just try not to say anything too loud or crass.
So the motive is simply to line somebody's pockets.

please. They can't destroy us all if their accounts are frozen.
If he keeps repeating falsehoods loud enough and often enough, he thinks everyone will just accept his lies as the truth.
Unfortunately, his previous history has proven this tactic to be effective.
He accuses people of what he did, is doing, or is about to do.
He is impulsive & can't help himself.
Because I am!!!
Yes, join a union.

You risk being held against your will coming in or leaving.
You risk being heckled or physically confronted by MAGA maniacs if you have any kind of accent.
If you are brown/black especially dangerous for You
Racism rules in the good ol’ USA.
It would be different if the home office issued a warning not to travel to a place but all they've said is make sure your paperwork is order or you might be detained, which isn't grounds for most ordinary people to not go to a country. That's not serious enough for travel insurers.
Everyone in the industry will suffer…airlines, hotel chains, small businesses…
Is anyone tired of winning yet? 🤷🏻♀️
Tbh, with the way boeing handling their aircraft. You could scratch off airlines from that list.

Plus, people start boycotting US products and services for various reasons - Gaza, nazi salutes, tariffs...
This summer is gonna be a doozy
I do feel bad for hotel and restaurant owners who will take a big hit……unless they voted for this shit….
By the end of this term it will take decades to put right assuming you elect someone with an interest in fixing it and not a complete fascist again.
That's assuming you get to have elections again, of course.
Had no idea they were still at it! wow.

- You may be detained for no good reason before being deported (for days or months depending on skin color and origin)
- Racism and intolerance to foreigners is sky high.
Did I forget something?
Fuck trump
America sucks!
We’re so sorry.
Love all US people that didn’t vote for trump or anyone that supports his crazy.
And, notice how the convicted felon can only "win" against women?
Sure, he "beat" Hillary with less votes. And <50%popular vote this time. 🤷♂️
Hardline Brexiters are exactly like Magas - same attitudes, same beliefs. Fewer guns so they use their fists.
Difference was, for all the damage Brexit has done, we still have freedom and democracy.
For what little it's worth.

Dear US friends
We know.
But they are the gatekeepers standing between us.
It is their shame, not yours.
Bon courage.
But at least my visa is still current, and I know who to call to get a job over there, cause they need computer experts BAD... 1,000 job openings in my specialty
Update to the Musk way of thinking... a chip from Tesla. Could include your family tree.
America is so far down the Rabbit Hole, GL the GOP getting the party back. Trump II is like a very bad made for TV sequel. #trump #ice #maga #musk
Let that sink in and then thank your spoiled relatives for this honor
I mean, the headline did throw me for a second.
Nobody will want to vacation here.
Nobody 😠 😡
But I see you are in fact a Welsh Daffodil that has been replanted in the US. My commiserations.
Sorry for the confusion 😊
Described the criticism as potentially ‘terrorism’.
As citizens they could set the FBI on you for your texts.
Madness that you have to do this for fear of your own government but that’s the reality.
Trump will declare Martial Law soon.
Congress could stop him but they're too stupid, afraid, and weak.
Unless Trump is removed from office America is fucked.
Fascism is here now.
May this regime's demise be swift and certain.

Will miss them. Be Safe!
You mean criticizing Trump on social media?
I don’t think us in the UK in any position to criticise that though…
Tesla thrown out of car show?
Safety reasons…
This really goes into depth about how truly evil Neo liberalism really is. England did have their version of Obama bailed out the billionaires with a trifecta in 09. D party is further right wing than her. Harris Ran as our thatcher. Thatcher vs trump the choice 2024.
#fuckthatforalark
Next step: Force citizens to stay.
Watch. You'll see.

I’ll be stealing this Rob ok?
Welcome to the United States of New Russia.
😶
99% or so of American scientists are of sound mind and didn’t want any of this. They will not be let down or forgotten by their colleagues elsewhere.
But US conferences are a no go in the foreseeable future.
Exceptionally jingoistic?
Exceptionally boorish?
It’s not fake news!! Wow!!
So, even though it ended up being a pleasant & interesting situation. The next mistake could be much, much worse!! 😹👍🏼💯
We are alienating the WHOLE WORLD.
Just as they planned, and wanted.
A Canadian businesswoman was jailed in a freezing prison with little food for 4 weeks when she tried to reenter the US from Mexico.

Once they get you?No one knows anything about where you are,what you’re there for, what your rights are? This is torture.
These Private detention centers were there under Biden -They need to be illegal. ASAP.
His administration is the worst clown show yet.
I’m also ‘the wrong colour’ 👋🏽 and from the ‘wrong political spectrum’ to visit America now.
I’m proud of my colour, my empathy with fellow humans and my not being a Nazi.
Say goodbye to America's tourism industry.
Trump is making America more like Russia every day.
Amercans need to get out in the streets while there's still something to save.
Best not to go at all.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Better safe than sorry.

Thanks to #FuckYouWesStreeting
I’ve never been patriotic but every day is a new low in this septic Isle and has been since 2016. But for trans folks right now it’s truly horrific
Scary
US custom doesn’t need to arrest tourists. Why can they reject the entry instead of detain foreigners for a long period 🤬
It’s all about money grab for Trump’s friends?
Well, in a land run by felons, rapists, and bandits a moral citizen is living illegally.

I hate what our government is doing now.
From the outside it looks like he's doing a Putin.
STOP HIM! PROTEST!
Impeach him and lock him up! He is a disgrace and will ruin the reputation of the USA likely for decades, probably you're whole lifetime.
Thank a Trumper for that!
I'm surprised no one's pulled ambassadors and closed consulate yet
I loved going to (then West) Germany as a teenager, but I was born 30 years after the madness ended.
Who can respect a country like that?
Even American families who want to take their kids to Yellowstone, etc. will not be going now. They're concerned if they need help from a park ranger, no one will be there.
(Trump wants to sell nat'l park land/take for himself.)
I think this is the end of the USA as a destination, and possibly as a world power even after he dies which will hopefully be soon.
The Pax Americana is over

Tourism is going to bottom out without foreign travelers and our looming recession
I certainly wouldn't think of going to the US right now.*
*and they'd find plenty of anti-Trump sentiment in my socials.
An upside.
Bye bye democracy
Disney will go bankrupt.
But let's just all talk about a recession for the privileged.

This advice hasn't changed. The UK FO details any updates.
It is, and always has been, difficult to get all the necessary visas to visit the US from the UK.
