😁😁👍

Not one damn person. He's a vindictive man-child who was never told "No!" growing up.

But the problem is he doesn’t care!

When PARASITE nabbed best pic, the Orange Racist asked why the winner wasn’t an American film. That’s what this is about.

help? I'm pretty sure nothing he's done in his entire life was intended to HELP anyone

Crazy making. I love how Trump is being slammed on Bloomberg daily now! They wanted a better environment for business, and now Scandinavians are getting all the high precision jobs we used to get. Funny how providing education and healthcare results in a smart, resilient, and healthy workforce.

He is the Most Inconsequential President of All Time…addressing issues that are non-issues.

zionists?

Guess that includes no more shooting on location guess he doesn’t realize not everything of importance happens in America.

Most of the big studio’s wimped out ( just like they did with McCarthy & the red scare in the 50’s) and have already paid the extortion money to the felon and can’t understand why the felon is doing this to them.😉

Him. It helps him. He's shaking down people in hollywood so they can come kiss the ring and give him and his family tv shows and movies.

So dumb- and perpetually getting dumber, traitor felon conman 😡

Considering Asia is one of the largest emerging markets for movies and entertainment products, this would appear to further self-inflicted economic wound for the US. Lots of us are already searching out non-US cinema offerings.

to turn hollywood into an machine of fascistic propaganda

The producers of films like “The Birth of a Nation”

The whole “America Purity Test” clause in this proposal is just re-branded McCarthyism censorship and ‘blacklisting’.

I read the iatse press release on this subject and they seem to be towing trump's line. not encouraging for the international workers (for those that do not know the I in iatse is international)

He likes Jon Voight. He thinks Jon's smart because Jon kisses Trumps backside. So he agrees with Jon's bat shit crazy film tariff idea. It helps no one, except Jon, who now thinks he and Trump are saving Hollywood from those communist, leftie types.

How about taxing the rich???

“But instead of answers, Monday brought more waffling from the Trump administration which now says the tariffs aren't a definite thing until they speak to the film industry. Maybe Trump should have started with that step.” On point.

Next: massive tariffs on music from other countries?

Someone paid $1 mil for a Mar-a-Lamo luncheon. That's how much it costs to have the rapist-in-chief act in your favor.

The answer is always Putin. Everything he does helps Putin either directly or indirectly but always for VladdyDaddy.

Those who want fewer movies to be made. Vancouver and Toronto do amazing work in 'post production' and so many great shows which would be unaffordable if done 'only in America'. Movies like 'IT' or shows like 'Stargate SG-1' and 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' are/were made or edited here in Canada

It helps Trump appear to be relevant. Maybe.

Forget the who, how about the "How?" There's going to have to be some 'loyal' committee on un-American Films. The slope from foreign content to "unpatriotic" is greased in the sweat of MAGA's fervor to find someone to punish for a world that doesn't always favour them. "They have no shame Sir."

The Felon is a want-to-be dictator with a huge ego, a short temper, small hands, and a tiny p****. Flush this orange, toxic turd.

if he want's to be a dictator then i say we treat him like one, Mussolini.

I'm down for that!

It keeps out films with messages he doesn't like since he can't directly control the film industries in other countries.

No one, unless Putin is taking MGM and Disney to Russia

It's a step towards Drumpf having the ability to determine what Americans will see from the movie industry. Propaganda will soon be all that the public will see in America.

He’s looking for an excuse to pardon Harvey Weinstein…….😵‍💫

It’s not about helping anything it’s about control

I saw him on the TV earlier this morning (In Aust) and I wondered what has happened to his eyes? Is it his eye lids? Is it an allergic reaction? The y seemed all puffy? Is it some sort of cosmetic reaction? 😎even more fugly than usual!!

A fascist state apparatus, we need to stop treating it like they are bumbling stooges, these actions suppress art and thoughts. It’s right out of a playbook

Man all that blue doesn’t help it look less orange….

I fear this is not about self enrichment like many of his EOs. It might be part of the “7 mountains” movement strategy to inject evangelical perspectives into institutions like politics, media, family… and in this case entertainment. They backed Trump to do this. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-l...

His fantasy George … The guy is a chump.

He is just so stupid. He doesn't think anything out. He just does stupid shit on a whim, and we all suffer for it.

Damn, imagine how much the lord of the rings would have costed then??? 😑😑😑

So let’s impose 100% tariffs on all Hollywood US flag waving propaganda films and those disgustingly overt and overproduced TV soapies, plus all the pathetic US documentaries that feel the need to make everything ‘extreme’ instead of sticking to scientific facts.

Helps lots of people. Just not me and you.

Bigger question, how would this even work?

Oh, this was the line for a lot of people???? That's really weird???

It's not a real option anyway is it George? How could it be implemented, given most media is digital.

Him,.. he does not like the leftist movie world. Actors always mock him.

He is just in2 blatant expressions of hateful power at this point. To distract fr the real damage he is doing, he is mostly shooting blanks, he is thrashing abt trying 2 wound whoever he can 2 continue making headlines. We are preparing an orange bronzer seeking photon torpedo, even as we speak.

Keep 'em dumb!

Pissed bc none of the T’s are invited to the Met Gala anymore

It helps who it was meant to. Cockwomble. It confirms to him that anything he does/says reverberates around the Globe. That he actually "does" control not only the US, but the World

This helps him control what the public gets to see. It is another way of controlling the story as well as putting money in the coffers he pilfers from I suspect. It makes art less accessible to the poor. Art which has historically been used to reveal injustice... but I could be wrong.

It helps Disney maybe?

Trump’s new plan: protect American cinema by making sure the only Parasite we remember is on Truth Social.

US exports far more movies than it imports, so this risks hurting Hollywood as Rest of World moves to impose massive reciprocal tariffs on US films/TV. Don't understand the thinking behind this.

Old black and white movie "Four Sons" scary parallels to today

The only think about this that would "make sense" is if it is because he want to gain brown-nose-points with the alt-right and "own the libs" in hollywood with this...

Good question!

His imaginary film maker career? bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Blue Bloods spinoff Boston Blue is going to shoot in Toronto. It cuts out the American Teamsters, IATSI, SAG, etc. If S3 of Star Trek moved to Canada and you had to leave behind all the hard-working crew that created it because the studio wanted to save $, you would have spoken up and out for them.

Dumb F

And what "national security" problems do they pose? Promulgating ideas with which the authoritarian regime disagrees. Everything damn thing Trump dislikes is a national security issue or a national emergency. WT actual F!!

A form of book burning.

It suppresses alternative viewpoints, such as No Other Land. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Othe...

Have you ever tried to sit and watch a movie produced in Bollywood? You have a better chance of seeing God before you can sit through one of those abominations. We should charge them.

It’s harder to control the content of films coming in from outside the USA and the goal is to control content. It’s one of the seven pillars!

He's just a mafia blackmailer....

Will we still have Dr. Who?

It helps the Great & Powerful Trump believe that he is now more powerful than the entire film industry. www.ngrippel.com/ngr-politics...

My buddies wife used to represent a city in PA to the movie industry. She was able to get movies made in PA through incentives rather than threats. I am not a movie guy but you can’t argue with success.

Porn stars?😜

He hates Hollywood…

I dare say him. If they shot certain movie scenes in America then they are taxed. Those tax dollars go to the government aka him...

Those who want to control the message.

Helps no one other than him and his under the table deals to line his pockets.

It helps Trump recruit Gavin Newsom.

Well, less competition for the movies made by the Ministry Of Truth.

Pretty sure helping people isn't actually a goal of this administration (unless you're on track to be a billionaire.)

Pretty much the point. He doesn’t intend to help anyone. Other than those who can do for him, until their usefulness ends. Then they aren’t worth it anymore.

Nobody! tone deaf and oh so simplistic, like the chief himself 🙄

Dementia Donnie strikes again

He probably has a personal side hustle.

It's not about helping anyone. It's about sowing chaos.

Mostly Trump. I find it most helpful to always consider his actions as if he were a 5 year old, trying to make the world around him make sense and make him feel good about himself. Whether he thinks this is genius or someone put it in his head, he just wants to be accepted and adored.

Intimidation attempt to get studios to become his propaganda machine nazi style.

I'm pretty sure the little gremlins inside his brain benefit immensely from this sort of nonsense. With their tiny little hands and mango faces, chaotically cavorting while howling with impish glee.

actually it's illegal for him to do that. movies are a specific exemption from existing tariff laws. he's just continuing with the moronicity.

Hollywood hasn’t bribed Trump yet, it seems. China is a huge consumer of US movies. Hurting China’s export of movies would cause China to pull back from US movies.

We live in a global society. No one can remake the global economy, unless their goal WAS to COLLAPSE the global economy.Tariffs have to be surgical— THIS IS NOT!! Wake UP!! It’s not Trump (useful idiot). Look at the people behind the curtain—The Herit@ge S0ciety. Target them. Take away their 501c3!

There goes movies. Erasing our culture and freedom more everyday. It didn’t have to be this way!

So if Bezos does a movie of that trip to "space"?

Speaking of Bezos, he paid $40m advance to Melania for the rights to do a biopic puff piece film on her life. Surely some part of that will be produced in Slovenia. How will Trump Tariffy this sure-to-be work of art?

Today's "squirrel" moment brought to you (again) by the attention seeking, pathetic excuse for a president.

Apparently whack job jon voight has issues with it 🙄

Ahhh see, I think he thinks he's Ronnie raygun and believes that Hollywood was at its best when "men like him" were in cinema. So he wants a return to American movies with the very off chance that he could star in them or at the very least control their content to be favorable.

Russia. The answer is ALWAYS Russia. If they do start putting tariffs of off-shore services, there are a LOT of US companies with off-shore customer service and data centers that will either go broke, or just leave the U.S.

Who does it help? Start with Trump's BFF and former Secretary of Treasury Steven Mnuchin. He runs one of the hedge funds people use to buy influence with Trump. www.imdb.com/name/nm65183...

He just wants to get back at Hollywood for having his number for years

He has no idea how the govt nor the economy work. He’s a dangerous moron.

That fkn teamster shthead

It's NEVER about helping; it's ALWAYS about stirring more chaos...and keeping his name in the news and thus his ego fed for another 15 minutes

What does that mean? An American company films part of the film in a foreign country but it’s made in the United States do they have to pay tariffs? Why?

Goodbye Hallmark movies

Jon Voight thinks that's why he's not getting any parts.🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

It doesn't. It's a backdoor attack on Hollywood by crashing the US sales internationally in retaliation.

He is not in the helping business, Captain. You made it, Captain, didn’t you?

Can be sure it will help a wealthy person.

ridiculous tariff

Trump's pockets aren't full yet.

It benefits Trump, because to get him to create exemptions, the Hollywood execs have to go and doff their caps at him and line his pockets with silver. It's shithole country 101; create jeopardy and pain to make yourself a gatekeeper to any resolution.

I'm beginning to think that his face cream makeup has something in it that has caused me him to have brain damage. Does he not look in the mirror and see what he looks like before he goes out into the public? Can he not get a makeup specialist to help him since Melania won't do it? 🤣

Just more lives to fuck with. He gets off on that for some reason.

My guess is that what Jon Voight wanted was tax breaks for US filmmakers.

Gotta stop those ideas from crossing the border.

He's so hung up on "only made in America" that he just doesn't get that it's a global universe and no nation stands alone, not even Russia.

No one, but he is extremely upset at Hollywood actors and the fact that he doesn't get roles in movies anymore.

The voices in his head? 🤨

It's not about who it helps, it's about who it hurts! He hates both Hollywood and Canada, so two birds with one stone. Genius! /s

it's also just a distraction to make people stop talking about his crashing economy and him illegally ignoring the SCOTUS order

yes, that too.

Everything he puts tariffs on is a shakedown for cash and “favors”.

The Fuhrer wants to control what movies are made to make sure they don't expose his CRIMES.

Apparently Gavin?

Frumpy is upset because he never won an Oscar.

🤣 That’s true. And he’s obsessed with the Nobel Peace Prize. He’s literally been trying to get it for years now. He figured with the Ukraine war he could convince his buddy Putin to stop the war so he’d FINALLY get the NPP. 🙄 His insecurity & ego rule his sick, pathetic life. Mentally ill POS.

It can't be done. Another pie in the sky trumpish stupidity.

Hi george. The problem is his brain is a bowl of soup, so nothing makes sense to anyone. He has no function each day other than play golf badly, dream he is king and spout out continous dribble 24/7.

Trump is so dumb

1/2 This only helps him rise to dictatorship. These are the steps to having media similar to North Korea. If everything becomes more expensive to create and consume, people are going to look for cheaper media options, which are historically documentaries and propaganda.

2/2 If there are documentaries and propaganda made in the US, he will push for topics that put him in a positive light to be cheaper, and the people who favor these things will take over the industry. It will become impossible to escape this and will influence the next generation. Keep pushing back.

Are we really trying to associate “help” with this baffoon????? Isn’t obvious that he is incapable of helping anyone but himself???? Stop using this hopeful language, it’s detrimental because it’s enabling.

“Those damned Star Trek films need to be filmed on Earth and not in space” 🤣🤣🤣

It helps make sure no new ideas come into the country?

The Inmates have taken over the Asylum. 'Course laid in'. America, brace yourself. 🖖

I don't think it's about helping, it's about distraction. Trump is the clown, the GOP is the circus, and DOGE are the looters.

Recently, tariffs have been his hammer and every problem he sees is therefore a nail.

Wrong question! Who does it 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘵? That's all they are interested in.

No one. Especially the American film industry. It is Project 2025’s attempt to make sure all we see are indoctrination and propaganda films.

Every policy, tariff, program cut, and threat is for one reason only: To fuel his ego. He’s nothing but a fucking bully and a “me monster”. A rich asshole who’s never worked a day in his life and has to blackmail fellow teenage sex island visitors to get what he wants.

It helps John Voight who asked for it in revenge because HE'LL never work in this town again.

There is a carve out in the law that gives Trump his limited tariff authority. Movies are in that carve. Trump doesn't have the power to do this.

Leadership tweeting out every inane whim. It’s like passing gas and thinking each fart is a new law.

John Voight - this helps only him. Expect all the future films to have John Voight in starring roles.

His demented ego?

Nobody of course, a lot of TV and movies are made in other nations now, hollywood hasn't got the monopoly any more, even some of the recent iterations of Star Trek have been made in Canada, because there's more to the world than just the US...

Ask John Voight.

Jon Voight?

I think it’s targeted at Canada.

Wait wait wait... Doesn't MAGA hate Hollywood because it's too "woke"? First they hated EVs, now they buy them to support their second favourite Nazi. Now they want to suppres foreign movies, and instead support the US movie industry too? Hilarious 🤣 What comes next? Tarrifs on Russian influence?

Hollywood was mean to him, so this helps him cry less.

Is it even possible to collect tariffs on movies? Most people watch their movies online now. Theaters are archaic.

He expects the industry to come crawling to him with cash in hand so they can get waivers. This is just a new grift he's pushing.

Embargo’s on foreign media are a standard authoritarian tactic. This move also aligns with the “flooding the zone,” tactic this regime employs.

no one, it is just ANOTHER distraction from trump's crashing economy and the fact that he refuses to obey the SCOTUS order.

And the corruption. If I were to rank the reasons to impeach, my personal priorities are: 1. Constitutional crisis stemming from contempt of SCOTUS 2. Corruption (cypto pumping, donations to inaugural fund, and paid Mar-a-Lago meeting) 3. Attack on the balance of power through extorting congress

don't forget the blatant and obvious bribery from foreign nations with his crypto scam.

Check out Senator Murphey's 100 days of corruption video. The details are astounding.

Just like this whole Alcatraz bullshit; and the press falls for it Every.Time.

Well lets not pretend this doesn't actually affect a whole lot of people. They're not supposed to report it?

And the average salary of a federal prison guard is $60K+; that's a poverty salary in the Bay Area. Prison guards would have to live in the Central Valley and commute plus housing for guards would have to be built on the island* as well. *which has no water or sewage system

It's a pipe dream - just like his proverbial border wall. Do you know how much time, effort, and money would have to go into making Alcatraz a functioning federal prison? The span of the Bay Bridge that was damaged in the 1989 earthquake took decades and billions of dollars to rebuild.

It's not that they're falling for it. They're actively colluding out of fear.

Can they not see that the people who are fighting Trump are winning?

They're probably more worried about what Trump could do to them in the short term, while failing to consider that they'll lose the people's trust in the long term.

They are doing the worst thing that one can do: normalize fascism.

Trump’s motives are NEVER about helping anyone other than himself. He is an extreme narcissist who does things to show that he has power and control over people and things, which soothes his massive narcissistic ego.

And his crypto currency meme coin corruption scandel.

How do they dare make movies in other Countries and not just buy the obviously far better movies entirely made in USA? (and approved by MAGA censorship) /s

It helps HIM, of course. See - we're all talking about it and HIM .... just the way he likes it.

It helps by distracting public discussion away from the real chaos that this tyrant is committing elsewhere e.g. eviscerating government cleptocracy on an industrial scale shredding the public's ability to organize an effective opposition ...

Trying to control what we watch. He wants control of everything!!!!

Option 1: He'll do his then try and extort studios for "tariff exemptions" Option w: This is Jon Voight's attempt to have some kind of relevance by trying to force studios to hire him.

Help? He isn't interested in helping anyone. He just wants to throw his weight around.

Right? It’s literally in the law that he Cannot Touch them so stop reporting it like it’s something he can do

The act he's using to justify these tariffs specifically EXLUDES movies from its scope.

Pffft. Laws. Since when do laws mean anything to the King of Law and Order? Do as he says or plan on an extended stay in a country of Kristi Noem's choice.

Remember when the Corrupt Roberts Court said anything a president does is okay?

Trump. It’s a shake down of Hollywood.

Putin, I suppose.

Trump needs to understand more carrot and less stick. Incentivising business is far more productive than threatening them or bashing them with sticks.

Exactly. His concept is correct but he's stating it wrong. Filmmakers have traditionally migrated throughout the country these past 20 years to NY, NJ, MA, LA, GA, CA etc as tax INCENTIVES brought in productions. But now US shows we're simply undercut by foreign countries with weaker labor laws etc

Yes, indeed, but more tax breaks do help incentivise.

Positive is always better than punitive.

When trumpie eventually leaves this Mortal Coil. Will the Establishment/Deepstate. Do what the Chinese do regarding errant Corrupt Families. 🇮🇪

Scott Biao is hoping this will resurrect his career.

Europe putting 200% tarrifs on US movies and streaming services 🚨

Only his own fragile ego, and also his own wallet (maybe).

Instead of tax incentives for US like other countries do he has to screw over everyone.

Locking down external media for propaganda purposes?

Well, duh... it never occurred to Hollywood to turn him into an action movie star. He's been waiting for that call for decades now... This is just the Revenge of the Tiny Hands Man. ;)

Kirk Cameron, apparently? At least he went onto Fox inexplicably applauding it. That guy hasn't been well in a long time.

Squirrel!!!

Putting tariffs on movies is DT way of controlling the narrative & ensuring that we have white only movies. He wants to push his authoritarian agenda & force us to praise king DT🤮 Maybe DT will be the only actor in all movies because only he is the best actor in the entire world 😂

I know that some films/series where produced in Canada because "more friendly and uncomplicated" atmosphere. One example is "Jesse Stone"(Tom Selleck) whose story is in Massachusetts but was produced in Nova Scotia, Halifax instead of Boston and Lunenburg the fictive place "Paradise".

It helps him. Movies made in the US will soon also be subject to content regulation through the FCC. They’ll forbid anything dystopian, critical of the administration in any way, portrayal of America History accurately, heroship of ppl of color, LGBTQ person, or woman. Nothing but propaganda films.

THAT.

This administration are ones of incompetent idiots as they won't be able to accomplish it. Still makes them dangerous nonetheless.

He’s still pissed Parasite won best picture

His obsession with tariffs are going to be the downfall of America.

WTF is wrong with this Orange POS! Maybe we should nominate him for Nobel prize under one condition: GO AWAY!

No one. You do realise this isn't policy, it's the latest brain fart from a deeply stupid and confused old man?

Stupid is as Stupid does...Forrest Gump

We all know who this helps. It helps people who donated to him who hate Hollywood.

No one except the weird, disassociated world that Capt. Cumquat lives in.

Don't know. But i know whom it definitely doesn't help... those minors being reached around like a joint on those ominous hollywood parties... 😬

*passed around

It’s not who it helps, George, it’s who it hurts.

It’s one step closer to state run media and propaganda.

All the washed out conservatives like Kevin Sorbo, Dean Cain, Stacy Dash, Gina Carano, & the rest Daily Wire.

I bet he found out his cameo in Home Alone eventually found its way to the cutting room floor.

The fat orange ego is all it feeds

It was timed with the opening of the Afrikan Film Festival

Seems like distraction from his other blunders. Most couldn’t name one of the top 5 box office grossing foreign films of 2024; difficult to see these as being a “threat to national security.”

Ask John Voigt. He dined at Mar-a-Lago last week and seems to have bent Trump’s ear.

Was it Rex Tillerson who called him 'a fucking moron'?

You know it's only a scheme to help himself...
