filmed and set in is I think the term they are looking for. That doesn't jive with "foreign propaganda national security" excuse, as Hollywood produces much of that content.

This is not about money. This is an attempt to silence outside Voices that are critical of him. He's trying to control the media.

Tbh, at this point I think he says this shit as a way to distract people from something else. Him posting a picture of himself as Pope, now this dumbass movie tariff. It’s his typical playbook. Say something dumb and the media and the like will eat it up while he does something else that chips away at our freedoms.

I also like how the media tries to justify everything this fucking clown does. “Oh well the film industry is down 49% cause of other governments offering incentives to film abroad.” Yea dumb ass, that’s how you get industries interested in the first place. Offering discounts to film executives - crazy fucking idea I know.

Edit: ah, here’s what I’m talking about https://lemm.ee/post/63108758

Hollywood is killing other countries' movie industries, but yeah, the three foreign films that come in are killing it.

Looks like this applies to any movie filmed outside the US. So just an example off the top of my head, large portions of The Revenant were filmed in Canada, so the tarrifs would apply yo a film like that.

Hollywood is not killing foreign movie industries. The number of US movies shot outside the US is growing, not shrinking.

Trump is just a cunt.

What the fuck does this even mean, and do they even know?

My plan to isolate Usan culture is working beautifully.
