Analysts TORCH Mentally Disturbed Trump’s Idea To Destroy Foreign Tourism

Analysts are sounding the alarm bells about Donald Trump’s latest mentally unstable idea that has the potential to further tank the US economy. Trump announced this week that he was considering putting a “bond system” in place, where foreign tourists would have to put down a deposit of anywhere between $5,000 and $15,000 in order to even enter the country. This would put the cost of travel to the US for business or pleasure completely out of reach for nearly every tourist, and would cost the US economy billions upon billions of dollars. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

You cannot convince me at this point that Donald Trump is not intentionally sabotaging the economy. Every idea this man comes up with that involves anything having to do with the economy or businesses or trade, everything he does hurts our economy. This man has not made one smart or intelligent or even neutral economic decision since coming into office. And this week he unveiled something that analysts are saying is going to accelerate America's economic decline. And it's this Donald Trump who, as we all know, hates immigrants. A very xenophobic and racist individual, has a new plan that he wants to put in place. And this plan would involve foreign tourists who come into the United States having to pay a bond when they apply for their travel visa to come here. And that bond, you'd get it back when you leave, but the bond would be, as Trump said, anywhere between $5,000 upwards of $15,000.

Think about this for a second. The majority of people who get visas to come over here to the United States are on travel visas, okay? It's not student visas, it's not worker visas, it's travel visas. So the majority of people applying for these things that would now have to pay $5,000 at minimum per visa or tourists, families coming over here on vacation to go visit Disney World for maybe the first and only time in their lives, or go into Las Vegas to blow, you know, tens of thousands of dollars at the tables and just see what the bright lights of Vegas, the city that never sleeps looks like. Actually, I think the city that never sleeps is New York, which is also a hub for foreign tourists. We wanna see Times Square, we wanna see the Statue of Liberty. We want to take in a Broadway play.

These are people whose only goal is to come to the United States and spend money. They're not here for business meetings where everything's covered. Or you know, American businessmen take 'em out and pay for it. These are people who say, I'm coming to America and by God, I'm just gonna let it go. And Trump says, by the way, I'm gonna make it essentially cost prohibitive for you to even be able to do that. Because on top of the likely tens of thousands of dollars you're spending to come over here, you're gonna have to pay me. If you got a family of four, at least 20 grand, if you got a family of six, maybe you're bringing 10 people, poor boy, you could owe me up to $150,000. And sure you get it back when you leave,

But how many foreign tourists do you know that just happened to after spending all this money on the vacation, have an extra $150,000 laying around or 50,000? We know 99% of Americans don't have that laying around. But that is Trump's plan. That's his plan. As the United States is already suffering from a very severe lack of foreign tourism that has already cost us tens of billions of dollars and is expected to cost us another $29 billion before the end of the year, we are losing billions because the foreign tourists do not want to come over here, mostly because of Donald Trump. And now he wants to make it more difficult for them to even be able to do it. The only people I guess that would be able to come to this country would be the wealthy elite from other countries. And that's exactly the plan. See, Donald Trump wants to keep out the riff-raff, right? The Poe folks, the people that actually come over here and spend the money at Disney World or in Vegas, or hell, even in Dollywood.
