JD Vance Jokes About Deporting Tourists Attending 2026 World Cup

JD Vance Jokes About Deporting Tourists Attending 2026 World Cup
The vice president warned people attending the five-week tournament next year not to overstay their welcome, or there would be consequences.
David Moye
May 6, 2025, 07:24 PM EDT

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 Giuliani’s 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.

“We’ll 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, they’ll have to go home, otherwise they’ll have to talk to [Homeland Security] Secretary Noem.”

Not that Fifa is not some seriously corrupted mass of toxic sludge, but as long as America stands against nations working together to at least have a bloody soccer tournament, it should not be allowed in.

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.

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.

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.

As I’ve been saying for years: the Berlin Wall was designed to keep people inside. It wasn’t for the protection of the East Berliners, it was to keep them in prison. That’s the mentality of trump and JD. That’s why the “big, beautiful wall” has always given me the creeps.

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.
