WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump’s sweeping travel ban has proven totally unnecessary as the rest of the world has shown no interest in visiting what it deems to be a shithole country, travel experts confirmed on Thursday.

“When people plan vacations, they usually avoid countries with soaring prices, random arrests on the street, and measles outbreaks,” Harland Dorrinson, an international travel expert said.

Additionally, he said, “Travel-wise, people prefer destinations where food undergoes rigorous inspections and planes don’t fall out of the sky.”

Noting that travel to the US had plummeted since Trump became president, he added, “At this point North Koreans are staying away.”

I know that Andy Borowitz writes these as satire, and I love sharing them on DU. But the awful truth is that hundreds (maybe thousands) of foreigners planned to visit here this summer for the World Cup Soccer events. Not just players and teams, but their families, friends and fans were looking forward to coming here. Now probably NONE of them want to come!

The events are running all summer long in several US cities. Chump has ruined it for everyone.

Crickets. They've lived in four states, all blue.
