Yes. But keep in mind that the American passport’s decline is modest in absolute terms. So it’s mainly a story about relative decline (change in rank). open.substack.com/pub/maartenp...

🤬

Bastards are even coming for our low ranking. Is there no low America you won't steep too?

American freedom has been on life support since the Jan 6th insurrection investigations did not result in trump going to prison due to the US Supreme Court majority rewriting the USC to give trump total immunity. Vote in numbers so overwhelming that we mute trump and MAGAs power.

And when you mention it,the 1% start yelling " SOCIALISM" because they shit blood thinking about being taxed

Right— not universal healthcare

Right, it’s not universal

Yes, Bosnia and Herzegovina has a publicly funded universal healthcare system for its residents, but it does not have a single national system. Due to the country's complex political structure, the system is decentralized into separate administrative regions.

Because FREEEEEEEDEUMB, right MAGAts?

Heartbreaking. Angering. Guess there should be a law that any man trying to leave that state should be able to be detained if anyone thought he might have…some balls?

Let’s just face it, the biggest problem with USA passport is the orange shit stain on it And Canadians will no longer put up with Americans wearing Cdn Lapel pins & flags overseas Your country elected him, fucking deal with your mess America will need generations to get the Trump stench off

If you still think America is the free-est country in the world, I'M LAUGHING AT YOUR CULTISH IGNORANCE.

The US passport comes with far more baggage than most other passports too. When I say baggage, I mean ball and chain.

Only 3 dozen? 🤔

god everything is so fucking sad in trumps little ameriKKKa

It will lose more than that if Trump has his pic in it n nobody accepts it!!🤭🤗

I can understand why changes in the political climate might make some people feel differently about traveling and returning home.

Go there then

Free people dont need a passport to cross borders on this rock! There should be no law regarding where you can travel or when or for how long! the earth does not belong to any government or group!

if there are 36 nations with greater freedom of movement, how is the US passport stuck at rank 10 and not 37?

We need the regime change

🌹✨ Freedom of movement is a treasure beyond borders 💫🌙… three dozen nations now open wider skies, while countless souls dream of journeys unbound 🌼🔥🌈💎🌟💖🌍🌺🌞… beauty lies in the right to wander, wonder, and belong 🌸

Funny how it works, yeah?

Both of us held US passports.

Also, gender is a competition and the only man who’s a better man than me is my boyfriend. 💙🏳️‍🌈

This is the death and horror that conservative Christians prayed, rallied and voted for. This is their version of a great country. They still support it.

Tax the rich!

Because we live in a fascist country. Duh!!!

Trump did this⬆️

No surprise...Americans are no longer FREE.

And US Citizens must file with the IRS even when living abroad as expats 🤠 #MadHatters

Maybe Media should offer a little bit more guidance to Americans in how shit works in the world, instead of always yammer on about the exceptional BS.

The article gives a great explanation. It is defined as "the number of other countries that a passport holder can visit without needing to obtain a visa"

Longstanding EU countries are all ranked equally.

We are regressing on every level.

Lots of countries have better freedoms, financial security, healthcare, infrastructure, and crime rates than the US. The US is definitely NOT the greatest country in the world. No where near great and getting worse.

Make America Great Again 🙄 not bloody likely… especially happening under Trump

Can they go ahead and offer me freedom to get the fuck out of here? If not I’ll get the attic ready for all of the people who *checks notes* say “unamerican” things like they are “against fascism” If that’s the standard I shouldn’t be here, and honestly it’s getting harder to want to be here.

I seem to remember a campaign promise from some guy about the US being more respected in the world. I forget his name, but he was morbidly obese, had some sort of skin condition and wore a dead animal on his head as a joke or something.

I’m surprised it’s that high.

Three dozen??? How about 36 countries. Trying to make it sound less?

It won't be long now, and we will be a dictatorship with an overweight, bloated, mentally deficient, lying, sex offender, and pedophile sitting on the sh!tter in the Oval Office.

no shit. its like the orange turd you keep glazing is bad for the nation

You decided to use an old term created for sports gamblers to describe the relative function of an official document needed to visit another country. You know that you don't have to do things like that, right?

We in The USA 🇺🇸 are no longer able to move freely in or between states because America 🇺🇸 is NO LONGER A DEMOCRACY = 🙄 DUH!!

Remember when the President of the United States was the most powerful man in the world? Now Putin and Netanyahu pull his puppet strings. Which means they are more powerful than Trump. This country continues to fall through the "greatest" designations we once revered and proudly claimed.

A passport ranking doesn’t tell the whole story. Freedom isn’t measured by travel access alone , it also includes rights, opportunities, safety, and the ability to build a life where you are.

Donald Trump's passport marks the 250th anniversary of the United States and is currently available only through the Washington Passport Agency. Applicants must appear in person and have an appointment to obtain this version. 😎 www.msn.com/en-in/news/w...

Wait until you #Trumpmuskovia ns come to the Foreign Customs with the new " #Trump Passport " , your Document of Servdom, your Slave Contract...

sooo... shouldn't it be 34

Untied Snakes of America - Land of the Sheep and Home of the Slave

Sure buddy!! The first place you want to be when the 💩 hits the fan is the US! In some second tier country be like jumping into the jaws of the shark!

"america first" to passport tenth. at this rate steve scalise might actually need that olive garden ID he thinks exists.

Maybe a sign that the U.S is becoming an iron curtain, isn't it? Humans were meant to roam the Earth...

Freedom of Travel? I'm sure that is a Relative Term! "Papers Please" I've travelled with a Military ID, Regular Passport, State Dept Passport, "Get Out of Jail Free Card" DIA Courier Card, NATO Orders. LOL! "Long Ago" During the Cold War, Desert Storm and Desert Strike.

Well on the way to being the 3rd-World Banana Republic it has always aspired to be. With its own special unholy trinity for ‘special’ people. Guns…stupidity…jesus 🇺🇸Not a serious country🇺🇸

40 billion to open Hormuz which had always been open? The infamous attacks on Iran, the shameful amount of money that Washington is STEALING from taxpayers, & the deaths of hundreds of Yankee soldiers, are a Zionazi mandate from IsraHELL to eliminate the only obstacle to completely invade MiddleEast

US is a CRIMINAL State.

I think many younger generations are more aware of how the world order is shifting.

The U.S. has lied to its people for decades about how free & great they are. Trump weaponised that propaganda.

Many countries more free than dystopian nazi dictatorship.

Well, we have become a country where states are demanding citizens to show their papers. Especially women wanting to cross state lines. We may need to rewrite the famous line in “Hunt for Red October”: m.youtube.com/watch?v=P8JW...

👍

That is what happens when the voters and media allow fascism and religious extremism to take over our gov't and society.

Seems a lot of Americans are rocking one of these abroad

Nothing to say as Indonesian 😪

Please take notice of this!

I love our freedom not to have air conditioning here.

AND we all know who the culprit is. When will the GOP have their lights blinked on and remove him from office? Must be embarrassing to go home to your family and friends and explain your position.

Usually these are reciprocal agreements. If we demand citizens of other countries get visas before visiting the US, those countries will require Americans to get visas to visit them in the same way.

Why not publish infant mortality, educational grade level, life expectancy, avg salary vs. inflation over last 20 years, reading level, college graduation rates, % below poverty line, etc.... you'll see the US rates actually suck Vis-a-vis the globe. It started.with Reagan admin.

"Land of the Free" Riiiiiiiiiiiight

Most normal countries are not locking up innocent citizens. Trump's Republican controlled shithole does it. The faces of capitalism (evil Trump and evil Republicans) love TAKING AWAY THE FREEDOM of innocent US citizens. www.propublica.org/article/immi...

Iran has a bullseye on Americans due to Trump. Can US citizens move about freely and safely now without being worried of a terrorist attack?

Sad

Paywall link Unacceptable

Assuming lots of ties?

Sobering fact.

See North Korea.

This comes down to trust of the government to issue passports to their own citizens. More corrupt government = less trust = lower passport ranking.

We will be moving down in ranks for all trends in health, research, education, food safety, air quality, and all things that make a society great. We will be moving up in rankings for most plastic in our bodies, cancer deaths, corruption in government and all things that hurt people.

Because that is a luxury that most cannot afford. I live 4 hrs from the beach and haven’t been in years. It’s my absolute favorite place to go but I can’t even afford that.

Take away the US, and neither is Canada

I made this video about European Freedom of Movement youtu.be/JYA3gVGxlnw

For years we have been warned of the authoritarianism seeping into our political system. We all heard it. We all watched it. We've all seen it. And still, we put a man who purposely divides this country so he can make $1 billion on the side and our society is helpless to act for 2+ more years.

Happy I also have a #4 ranked passport.

No shit!

This is nothing new. European countries have always had more travel options with their passports than the USA.

Because there are no privileges in being an American - just shame.

Of course....

Congratulations on seriously misleading headlines. The countries don't offer that freedom to their own citizens. Citizens of three dozen countries are offered freedom by more other countries, than citizens of the US.

Are we winning yet?

US is behind 36 countries and is ranked 10. Make that compute.

That’s a relief.

I think I read there is an opt out if you don’t want the pic. Plus, I would think it would cost more. Trump always gets his cut.

I prefer to have at least a tint of humor when I complain. 🙂

But folk from those countries should avoid travelling to the United States as long as the orange menace or his followers are in charge

That says nothing about the safety for US citizens.

Hmmmmmm?… land of the free?

Hold on to your passport, soon it will be ten dozen who have more freedom than Americans if the current sodomizers of democracy get their way.

Impeach the felon pedophile

Thats not the end. Less to come.
