Donald Trump said that he is ordering the U.S. Trade Representative and the Commerce Department to begin the process to impose a 100% tariff on imports of movies that are produced in "foreign lands."

Calling runaway production a "national security threat," Trump's comments follow reporters that one of his special envoys to Hollywood, Jon Voight, was a devising a plan to save the entertainment industry.

This take is interesting....


That's the point. He wants to stop American films from being made outside the US, such as in Canada which is the setting for many Netflix productions.Next he will want approval on content. And there you go Hollywood only produces state propaganda by 2027.

Does he not know that some American movies are filmed outside of the USA?

│ Yes, that is the point of his tariffs. A lot of Hallmark and Lifetime movies are filmed in Canada, maybe most of them.

│ │ If he really wants to piss off women, try fukking with their Hallmark movies. I'm guessing this will be quietly walked back in a week like almost everything else.
