0:16, ah yes the new Emperor Nero's Fila – M industry.
Is it not clear yet that the only ideology behind Trump’s tariffs is revenue raising—so the US can continue to live outside its means? Trump imposes tariffs wherever and on whomever he can, then invents reasons for them. The Art of Justification.
Republicans will have a hard time winning election if this clown is not stopped
The background editors had fun making this one. So goofy!
So foreign films are now antisemitic 😂😂😂
Why doesn't anybody talk about the fact that the PRC only allows 34 foreign films to be shown in cinemas a year and it must go to the censors before it is distributed.
some films are shot overseas, because of tax credits. Without them, some films would never be made. This is such a stupid idea. This will not bring back more productions to LA.
Films made internationally isn’t the issue – it’s the trash woke stories
Even before Trump, the movie industries are already on life support… Trump just injected potassium chloride and Pancuronium bromide (Pavulon) into the movie life support tube…
He's becoming Trumpzilla… A mutated creature, that leaves a path of destruction behind…
Isn't Hollywood movies made with Chinese partnerships, China will surely pull out, and the industry will surely be affected. 😮
Once again, taxing American citizens is going to help the US movie industry by….. <insert the actual real world reason here>. In the real world, countries encourage industry development through tax breaks, not adding taxes.
How can Hollywood feed the IGF with all these tariffs 😂😂😂
The world doesn't need America
Trump has lost the plot. He needs to exit stage left.
"Our fil em industry….."
Americans are afraid of everyone.
This tariff is evidently illegal as there is no national emergency over movies in America. Can you say sociopathic narcissist?
The fil-a-min-num indoostry is doing what to you?
That's MAGA want ? Let it be 🤣
Make movies and shows people want to watch, and they'll watch. Trump's tariffs are a race to the bottom.
Hard to find something to watch on TV or in movie form anyways. Especially if you're anti-war and anti-aparteid so I'm good with documentaries. Couldn't careless about Hollywood.
Bye bye Netflix
Bye bye Disney
I dont need it.
Hollywood is the global film industry,its an global mark of entertainment planet and its significance of American creation, lifestyle and a cinema of iconic legends of gods that valued its heritage and rituals ,
No other film industry ,be. It european , Russians, chinese, uk , or koreans are even close
After hiring a partner of Soros for Secretary of the Treasury, he is now bowing before Hollywood moguls!
Trump is 100% fake, just another pawn of the controlled opposition, directed by the same cabal on both sides!
What he has done to bring down the cost of producing films in USA ?
The rest of the world should put a 40% tariff on money sent to the USA.
Im so tired of winning.
This will make international film watchers like me, stop watching American films
It will backfire in his own face and hurt USA badly in the end. Trade protection is a long gone
subject except for the EU which is building walls around it ! EU is a paradise and all around it is a jungle as stupid leader of EU claimed. Protective trade barriers is an old fashion way of keeping other countries from normal trading and it is the wrong way to go to isolate yourself from trading freely with other countries.
It’s not foreign films problem that Hollywood is having issues. It’s the crappy streaming system, Company exec, and all the crappy mergers.
News Flash : Trump has announced tariffs exemption on eyeliners for J.D.Vance.
Nobody is looking at the white elephant in the room. You other countries want to steal business from the United States. Make your own movies. They might actually be good.
I cancelled netflix & prime
