1. Insane.

[highplainsdem]

2. Yep. And there's more evidence of that every day. Practically every hour.

[C_U_L8R]

3. What an idiot.

I've never seen a bigger fool.

[Swede]

4. Movies count on international sales.

Stupid move, by a stupid man.

[Johonny]

20. China will end all imports

This could be the end of the American blockbuster

[WarGamer]

5. misguided...

I saw the world for the first time via movies...

James Bond movies were great at showcasing foreign lands.

Movies SHOULD be shot in exotic foreign lands.

[underpants]

6. Like Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia do domestically?

There’s a lot of tv and movie filming in Georgia.

[Ocelot II]

7. National security threat? Bollywood?

[Walleye]

8. I'm wondering what brought this on. Somebody in a foreign movie said something bad about Trump?

[highplainsdem]

9. He's very unhappy with Paramount/CBS/60 Minutes at the moment.

15. The one hammer that hasn't dropped...

Services

We are a service economy, if other Countries wanted to hit us, other than retaliatory tariffs on goods, other than selling US bonds, then a Country would place tariffs on Services.

The Shitstain just pushed our former partners into the next level.

I am fully convinced that he is actively tearing us down.

[newdeal2]

10. More nonsense

I would love to know how this would work.

This is just more BS he is saying to distract.

[Abolishinist]

11. I'm sure 'The Apprentice' had nothing to do with this.

An international co-production between Canada, Denmark, Ireland, and the United States, the biopic was announced in May 2018, but languished until Abbasi, Stan, and Strong joined in 2023. After premiering at the 77th Cannes Film Festival on May 20, 2024, and despite impressing the critics, sparking an eight-minute standing ovation at Cannes, and "feverish media attention" the film struggled to find American distribution due to its subject matter and an attempt by Trump's legal team to block its release.

Curious, would the tariff be reduced to 75% for such an international co-production?

12. Is this a joke? A digitally manipulated meme thingy?

[highplainsdem]

14. No. It's from Ron Filipkowski, and that's a screenshot of Trump's Truth Social post.

[Oopsie Daisy]

16. Insanity.

[Blue Full Moon]

13. It's been crap since being on stock market

Maybe movies would be better without stock market influence

[Morbius]

17. This in turn will cause other nations to prohibit American movies.

He's going to kill Hollywood now. This is very short-sighted; the Romans gave their people bread and circuses to keep them in line. We get circuses in America, driven by our media apparatus. Undermining the media's ability to make money overseas cuts into our circuses.

He's just so dumb I get astonished sometimes.

[sakabatou]

18. Idiot doesn't know that many movies are made in multiple locations

And this will just crush the film industry.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. It's a direct attack on Canada. Prob a majority of movies made outside of US made here. On Tuesday

On Tuesday, PM Carney meets tRump at the White House. And yet tRump laid this turd on the table. Stable genius strategy?

[LudwigPastorius]

21. When he finds out about streaming media, he's going to...

put a 250% tariff on foreign electrons that cross our border.
