Explain to me how the fuck does this fix the economy?…
Making people poorer helps the rich get richer
Not when retaliatory tariffs come up
Ah yes that correct!
I don’t think that’s what he’s trying to do.
2+2=5
I was under the impression that they film a great deal of movies in Canada because it costs far less than filming anywhere else. We also have places that look very modern while maintaining very gothic cities and all of the land in between that could be filmed to look like many places abroad. So he’s costing the film industry the savings that they have gotten used to by filming in Canada. Art of the deal.
Tons of Hollywood films are shot in Hungary! Dune being one of them, but there’s many many more. Cheap extras, cheap studio space and VFX industry.
Uh, ok, what?
Are we trying to drown out foreign influence now? Like, idk, China? North Korea?
Media is our biggest GDP dollar. Donnie is playing with fire here. I’d bet my life savings he backs down, like he has on everything else.
Maybe he’s talking about movies shot in Canada? I think a lot (no idea of an actual percentage) of movies are shot in Vancouver.
Apart from the point that this would be illegal (he won’t know or care, but it is), imagine other countries responding in kind? At least our country imports more media from the US than we produce on our own. And the return tarrifs costs and losses caused by that would also hit primarily US companies like Netflix, Disney, Amazon, AplleTV…
Movies and TV shows are the US’s cultural export. It helps keep us front of mind. They are essentially asking for retaliation where the US is erased from all foreign screens.
There would be retaliation and Hollywood exports far more than the US imports with entertainment. This would cause much more damage for the US film industry.
hollywood caters to asia mostly now, thats why alot of the movies and actors kinda suck now. thier us market somewhat dying.
Yup. Movies are made for the world market so they avoid having things too culturally specific, especially US, so they make them generic. Lots of CGI crap.
alot of people complain about dwayne johnson, PRATT,etc. asians love these american foreigners because its all action movies, they dont care about the actual script or the movie or the drama of the actors.
thats why influencers are also big there too.
The US being by far the biggest exporter of movies, the only way this makes sense is that Trump is not seeing enough ass-kissing (and
bribescampaign donations) from the US movie industry, so he’s actively trying to damage them.Claim foreign movies are a threat, wait for other countries to retaliate against US movies, sit back and watch
bribessales of $TRUMP grow as the major studios seek his political favor.As a dual US and EU citizen, good!* European movies are better than that Hollywood shit anyway.
*for the record, neither this nor anything else Trump is doing is actually good.
Ok? This is current year, I can just use a VPN to stream foreign movies.
I am so tired of all the BS this regime keeps throwing at everything.
This guy is playing a board game and losing to a toddler.
Relax. Hell backtrack on them in 3 weeks.
Hell can keep him ;)
For someone that said he explicitly doesn’t like losers, he sure can embody one.
Unrelated but the “W” in the Hollywood sign is asymmetrical.
China and many countries are huge consumers of American movies and entertainment.
Let them retaliate up the wazoo. We deserve everything we get. It just sucks that us non-magas have to suffer for their idiocy.
