The Oval Office’s occupant has lobbed a Hollywood-sized grenade into the entertainment industry, declaring a whopping 100% tariff on foreign films daring to cross American borders.
“We want movies made in America, again!
” trumpeted Donald Trump’s social media megaphone this morning
, while Tinseltown collectively spat out its coffee. Critics rapidly pointed out the glaring plot hole; Hollywood already rules the global cinema empire with an iron fist.
Cinema might be cooked

Seems like a tax credit benefit would be better than a tariff for this sort of business… dumb move.

Is this even an issue?
At this point it just feels like he’s creating new tariffs just to stay in the news.
Like how are films not made in America even hurting America? Seems like most that are filmed over seas are because they’re locations specific.

Although he faced widespread backlash, a few still supported Donald Trump.
This is the way.

The internet’s review of Donald Trump’s cinematic policy bomb landed somewhere between one and five stars, depending entirely on political subscription packages. Sharp-witted users highlighted that America’s box office domination makes this tariff about as necessary as sunscreen at midnight. While MAGA-hatted cheerleaders applauded this supposed industrial revolution, skeptics dismissed it as merely another populist plot twist lacking substantive economic character development, raising questions whether this production will truly “make America great again
” or simply cut global artistic crossovers from the final edit.
