This is where I’m lost with the american system. The president decides on taxing tourists in parks? That’s a level of micro-management beyond my comprehension. It’s the kind of thing I would expect from a dictator to have the power to do.
This will likely increase the shortfall in our already dwindling tourist spending, thereby justifying a sell-off of public lands to private entities.
Ah that’s the angle. I was like “Ok not a good thing but I guess not that bad” and was optimistically surprised, but alas…
Whether you support the gap or not, it would be wiser to word it that foreign tourists pay normal cost and Americans (or non-foreigners) get a discount. They can charge the same rates, but people will feel like they’re getting a deal.
I agree but the intent is assholry, so that information doesn’t matter to this administration
So, apart from the tourist trap price hike you will get with any souvenir, food, or service you purchase, foreign tourists will have to pay even more while also having the risk of getting illegally detained by non-identified federal officers or being denied entry because of memes on their phones? US patriot culture was already difficult enough to swallow, although to be fair the shift to fascism already left it in shambles well before this drop in the ocean.
No one wants to visit your shithole backwards dystopian Naziland.
On the other hand, Canada just made our parks free TO EVERYONE!
Fuck you, USA
Please, as a US citizen, make the US govt feel pain. They are not listening to the people.
I don’t think they’re a US citizen.
I’m not a US citizen and I have zero plans to ever set foot in Trumpland.
Almost every Canadian I know feels the same way. If we travel, we want to relax. We don’t want to risk being sent to one of your Cruelty Centres.
Nothing the US offers is worth that risk.
As a US citizen, I don’t blame you. I wouldn’t come here if I weren’t already stuck here.
Well, in the past you would’ve been wrong. There was a time our parks (which are fantastic) were affordable and you were very unlikely to be detained. Blame trump and his moron supporters for those things changing, not the sane majority
I feel sorry for the sign writers who will have to update those fees for no reason. The world has got the message, we’re no longer welcome in the US, good luck and thanks for the movies.
I doubt much if any of that money would go to the parks themselves
What A Dick!
(If it doesn’t get that reaction, he doesn’t do it.)

Every day the actual leading mob in the USA reminds me more and more of brats that cut themselfs thinking it will hurt others…
How dare people want to… Enjoy our natural beauty, scenic wonders, and landscapes that have inspired generations of artists, musicians, writers and some of our nations most iconic leaders and minds.
How fucking dare they. We’ll show you for traveling all the way to see some of the only unambiguously good things in our country.
