Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'm Irish. Irish people loved to holiday in the States. Now, I hear more and more stories from work colleagues, friends and family where holidays to US are cancelled or reconsidered as ** a direct result** of Trump policies.
You have a point, I should have said that this is not trump effect alone. I think the US are less appealing now overall as compared to 20 years ago. Trump is just adding the cherry on top.
You aren't wrong that the US is losing its appeal in general. But Trump is putting the breaks on hard right now.
It's one thing to say "Well, US is kinda boring, nothing worth seeing there", and it's another thing fearing whether you will make it back home if you go there.
Even if the US was still the coolest place to be in 2025 (which it is certainly not), I would not consider booking a ticket. The fear of losing the money I invested in the trip in case they don't let me in at the border would be enough to not go to the US, but being afraid that I might be detained or shipped to some random 3rd country because they don't like my social media posts is certainly enough to make sure I'd never go there.
I heard North Korea is a pretty nice place to visit. Still not going there even if the trip was for free.
I honestly think the US has a lot to offer to tourists, it's a shame that it's coming to this. Last time I was there it was in 2022 and visited magnificent places like Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon and there's few places in the world that can compare to them. But on the other hand, everything became very expensive compared to my previous visits not too many years before.
Confirmed! A couple I knew changed flights last Month and went to Canada instead.
