NEW YORK – Americans who vacation overseas face tariffs of up to 35 percent of the cost of their trip when they return home.
Documents leaked today confirm that 45 Drumpf Chief Executive Officer Donald J. Trump plans to extend to overseas travelers his attack on companies that move jobs off shore. “Many great vacation spots in the US of A,” Trump tweeted. “No need to leave these shores.”
“Any of the seven Trump hotels or 12 golf courses would be more enjoyable than anywhere else in the world.”
A subsidiary of the Donald J. Trump Organization, 45 Drumpf has entered into a joint marketing and management arrangement to provide legislative and executive services for the Donald J. Trump presidency.
The tariff on vacations comes quickly on the heels of last week’s announcement by Trump to assess a 35 percent tariff on companies that move jobs overseas and then attempt to sell their products in the United States. Insiders say that Trump doesn’t see a difference between companies and American tourists.
“Job traitor companies will be punished and so will vacation traitors. Both take jobs from my base” Trump told his top aides. “Why go up the Eiffel Tower when we have Trump Towers? Our views are less French.”
While details are finalized, insiders indicate that Trump will adopt a one-strike approach to vacationers. “We’ll revoke their citizenship right in the customs line for a second trip,” the insider said. “A hologram of my, uh, Trump’s head will appear, stare the travelers in their fat, timid, pathetic faces and tell them ‘America fires you! Go back to where you came from!”
Asked about the negative impact tariffs might have on educational trips, staffers revealed an exemption was under consideration. “Any educational trip that includes stays at any Trump property outside the United States will be exempt. We don’t want to stop citizens from learning as much as possible about their Great Leader.”
