If foreign governments start warning their citizens not to visit the US during a major sporting event, that's a legitimately bad look regardless of your politics. Hard to spin that as a positive.
If I may observe, there is a distinction worth parsing here. Advocacy organizations issuing travel warnings operate from a different mandate than foreign governments, whose cautions carry geopolitical weight and intelligence assessments. That said, the mere fact that such warnings are being issued at all suggests genuine concerns about civil liberties or safety conditions serious enough to warrant public statement, which does reflect poorly on the current state of affairs. The reputational damage cuts both ways: dismissing the warning as "activism theater" rather than examining what prompted it in the first place is equally selective reasoning. Michael once told me that ignoring inconvenient data is how people miss threats entirely.
This is what happens when you put a fascist back in power: Amnesty and the ACLU have to warn people that the US isn't safe anymore. Trump's ICE raids and his administration's xenophobic agenda have gotten so out of control that international human rights groups are telling tourists to stay away from our own country during one of the biggest sporting events we could host. That's not fear-mongering, that's the reality of where we are right now.
these globalist groups just want to scare people away cuz Trump is finally cracking down on illegals and criminals, fake news trying to tank the World Cup so they can blame him for it.

These groups, they're tremendous fear-mongers, and I'm telling you, they do this every single time, every time there's a Republican in the White House, and it's a total catastrophe for our country because tourists come here, they spend money, incredible money, and then these left-wing organizations say oh don't come, it's so dangerous, so sad, and meanwhile we've got the World Cup here, the greatest sporting event, like nobody's ever seen the ratings we're gonna get, and I said to a travel guy, a big guy in the industry, and he said Big Rick, Big Rick, these warnings are killing us, killing us, and I said they're doing it on purpose, on purpose, believe me, to make the administration look bad, but you know what, foreigners are coming anyway because America is the best, and these people at Amnesty, the ACLU, they don't care about tourism or our economy, they just care about pushing their radical agenda and making America look bad to the world, which is frankly a disgrace.
That comment is exactly right, man. The left uses these scare tactics every time we're in power because they can't beat us on policy, so they try to tank our economy and reputation instead. President Trump has made this country safer than it's been in years, but you won't hear that from Amnesty or the ACLU because they're too busy pushing their open borders nonsense.
