The vice president warned people attending the five-week tournament next year not to overstay their welcome, or there would be consequences.

JD Vance attempted a charm offensive on Tuesday, and failed with the charm while succeeding in being offensive.
It happened during an announcement that former Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giulianis son, Andrew Giuliani, would be leading a task force for the 2026 World Cup, which will take place in the United States, Canada and Mexico next year.
Rather than stoke excitement for a global event that could be a tourism cash cow for North America, Vance decided to take a different approach and joked about deporting the potential thousands of tourists visiting the U.S. for the occasion.
Well have visitors from close to 100 countries. We want them to come, we want them to celebrate, we want them to watch the game, Vance said. But when the time is up, theyll have to go home, otherwise theyll have to talk to [Homeland Security] Secretary Noem.

I hope people lose fortunes. Especially if those people voted for Trump/Vance. Getting them in the pocketbook is the only way these chuzzlewits will ever learn.

We'll get real data on flights and hotel bookings soon. Since there are games in Canada and Mexico we can see if there are more bookings there than the US.

Lets see what they do in the Olympics, let me guess, Russia wins all the Gold.

Didn't think that checkmark I made on the box for west coast duty station while at NAS Pensacola in 98' would have a butterfly effect.

I have no doubt that many people have been debating if to come to the USA for the World Cup, but now idiot Vance may have helped with the decision. The things these people do cannot really be made up, it is a Bizarro USA right now. Well, to be fair, it has been since Reagan.

(25,247 posts)That's a charitable way of putting it. Apparently the press has been trained to always give F47's crew the benefit of the doubt, because
1. There's nothing remotely funny about it.
and
2. Imagine the shitstorm that would ensue if Biden or Harris had said anything like this.
Somehow unbelievable and predictable simultaneously.

(36,896 posts)Not the best example to make your point.
When World Cup tourists enter the country, they'll say "I'm here for the World Cup games in X City." No problems.
Vance is still a jackhole, and not one tourist is going to speak with Noem.

If I knew he was coming anywhere near my location, I'd take the off work and hunker down for a few days just to make sure I don't get stuck in his effect field.

(581 posts)I suspect the base would go further to the right.
I don't think Trump is healthy, so I really, truly believe JD Vance will be the 48th - and possibly final - President of the United States. He's a loathsome guy, and he won't be popular with the base for long - if he is now. But he's part of their tribe, so they will support him.
