Politics: Trump’s World Cup TANKING - Tourists Planning To Stay Away

from The John Johnston Lounge · host John Johnston

JJ’s Politics Unfiltered host JJ breaks down how the FIFA 2026 World Cup was expected to bring a huge tourism surge to the United States, as the majority of the events are being hosted in the United States. However, reports indicate that international visitors will be staying away, with hotel bookings so far much lower than expected. This is likely due to concerns and fears over ICE raids and harsh anti-immigration policies of the Trump administration, not to mention higher airfares brought by jet fuel costs, due to the Iran War.Mentioned channel: JJ's Authentic New Zealand channel https://www.youtube.com/@jjsauthenticnzReferenced videos:World Cup Hotels 80% Empty - Industry Calls It "Non-Event", Trump In PANIC | House of El https://youtu.be/2j6Iimm-fZsWorld Cup Tourists REFUSE To Visit Trump’s America | Rebel HQ  https://youtu.be/GjyQvrt--e0Related episodes:MILLIONS Join No Kings Protests as Trump Parade FLOPS https://youtu.be/ymswUxZ_2mATrump’s Obsession with Autocrat Viktor Orbán Explained https://youtu.be/_WHcknuwe3sShocking Plans For Expanding Migrant Tent Camps Revealed! https://youtu.be/ya6f2IyQvcw#WorldCup2026 #FIFA2026 #TrumpSlump #DonaldTrump #USPolitics #politics #TourismCrisis #ICERaids #TravelNews #ImmigrationPolicy #PoliticsUnfiltered #WorldCupUSA #BreakingNews #TourismNews
