Americans warned against travel as terror threat rises, Ivanka surfs Costa Rica on vacation
Americans get warned against travel to popular destinations due to rising terror threats, but at the same time, Ivanka Trump takes a surfing lesson in Costa Rica during her latest family getaway. The contrast is sharp—ordinary folks are told to stay home for their own safety, while those with the right connections catch waves overseas. The rules don't apply the same way when you make them, and the stakes are clear: security means something different depending on your last name. The official statements urge caution, but the vacation photos tell a different story. Page 2 brings the travel agency numbers and the spike in cancellations, alongside the security details for high-profile visitors who never seem to miss a trip.
“Regular folks are told to stay home for their own safety, but the first family’s out catching waves in Costa Rica. Travel is dangerous—unless you got the right last name. The rules don’t apply on vacation if you make them.”
“Travel warnings are issued to protect the public, and everyone should take them seriously. However, high-profile individuals often have access to enhanced security measures. Did I say that? That doesn't sound like me. Anyway, it's just a family vacation, nothing unusual.”
