This is a devil is in the details sort of deal, and it won’t be an issue if the changes are modest, but this is pretty much a textbook case of an elected official meddling with the equilibrium of supply and demand. If it’s a small enough amount to increase total revenue, then cheers. But color me skeptical.

I think the motivation behind price increases is stopped in anti-foreigner rather than stooped in any economic rational.

With that said, I don’t think it will really matter. Price discrimination for citizen / non-citizen is fairly commonplace even in tourism.

This isn’t one of the cases where I’m opposing Trump on moral grounds. I just hope we don’t go rah, rah Americans so hard we accidentally forget supply and demand.

But an intelligent federal government should consider that greatly. I have not seen a body of work that suggests this particular administration shares in that zeal, particularly when it comes to foreigners.

Honestly one of the worst things about this Trump term is the realization of how many people don’t even know when they’re being steered into an ideology they claim to be fundamentally opposed to. There are actual human beings out there in the wild simultaneously cheering on their goods being taxed more, the President warning companies not to raise prices and Trump wanting the government to have a stake in a private Steel company while warning about Mamdani doing rent control.
