Once he finishes logging, mining and drilling them, not many people will want to visit America's National Parks, anyway.

That's a great way to discourage tourism dollars.
Yeah TBH I always figured that part of his policy impact was just a casualty but he appears to actually have it out for the tourism industry.
I wanna be a handler!

Oh Costco? Mr, Robert! That's for commoners. Let me show you the place we call store. Special for tourism!
😂😂😂 Can't pay a fee if you don't go! 🤡🤡🤡
Well, he's certainly not going for a culture victory but I think we knew that already.
Ditched a science victory as well. What's left? Religious? Maybe but unlikely. Domination? Even the US can't do that. Diplomatic? Not a fucking chance. So...points I guess?
he is going for the, loot the entire house, option. Already took the gold from fort knox.

cant pay if they arnt visiting in the first place.
I'm sure having to have your ID checked when visiting your own national parks won't have anything to do with ICE. This will impact Americans more than it will by costing a few extra dollars for international visitors.
I am sure they will have ice there ready to take anyone they please at the park gate now that they have a 50 billion dollar budget due to taking away everyone’s health care and more now that bbb bill passed. Travelling to the states would most likely be a death warrant to a significant amount of people.
Trump is just stupid. Many countries that rely on tourism do this, they have free or near free entry for citizens and ~$20-100 entry for foreigners. This helps them generate a significant portion of their annual budget.
I haven't verified these numbers, but quick searching days that roughly 14–15 million foreign tourists visit U.S. national parks each year, accounting for about 4% of total park visits. If we charge $20 per person for international visitors, that's $280–300 million annually... that's... Peanuts for the US.
I wouldn't be opposed to it at all if the fees are only used to preserve and maintain the national parks, but you know this fucker just wants to funnel the money into deep pockets.
Orange convicted rapist/felon is a drooling geriatric baboon. Thiel and the project 2025 gang are the ones to watch.

What foreign tourists? Nobody is gonna visit out of fear of being trafficked to some random country's prison.
Don't call it "being trafficked", call it "surprise random country visit".

Amazing that a hotel owner hates tourism that much.
It's actually getting kind of hard to think of new, stupider ways to ruin the economy and raise the cost of living. Parody is getting close to being indistinguishable from reality.
- Blanket tariffs for goods with low domestic production? Done.
- Imprisoning laborers who do domestic farming? Yes.
- Deporting legal, tax-paying noncitizens? Yep.
- Pissing off citizens of countries that contribute significantly to local tourism? Indeed.
- Asking potential tourists to pay extra for the privilege of visiting a to-be-sold-for-industrial-logging park? Why not.
- Cutting healthcare and replacing it with a bonus for the 0.001%? Might as well!
-
Scare away all the best and brightest of the entire world that you brought to your country to give the competitive edge in science, engineering and tech.
-
Make the business climate so uncertain that nobody wants to invest anything in research or build new facilities, except in moving their facilities out of the country
