Why Mike, don’t you appreciate that it simply represents another perfect example of his deep understanding of tariffs and how they work?

In fairness, I suppose the physical property in a movie could be purchased (rarely - normally leased) from a source subject to a tariff. But shooting scenes abroad?

I suppose a movie produced abroad by a foreign company could be charged in some way to release it in the US? Or, perhaps it is possible he is again saying something nonsensical that actually is part of a deep strategy.

The movies are a net gain in foreign revenue as well. A trade surplus.

Next he’ll be taxing companies on number of foreign employees.

I can’t see how anyone could blame anything but Hollywood for the death of the American film industry.

I don’t know if there’s a single visionary director left in Hollywood these days with the ability to get a studio to let him make the movies he wants. The directors who do have that sway no longer have the fire in them and end up making pretty forgettable, if competent, films these days.

Couldn’t help but notice another story at the bottom of the page.

Instead of immediately rejecting people from the middle east and kicking out anyone suspected in anyway of some sort of terrorism association or worship, we keep trying to rely on federal agencies to identify and nip this stiff in the bud. We'll just keep failing to the detriment of our good people.

Yeah and every new movie has to have gays and a high percentage of minorities in it or it won’t get funded or made.

Clint Eastwood. He was never part of the hollywood Liberal woketard mob. He's too big to blackball.
Unfortunately, at 94 years old, he probably won't be around much longer.
One of the last of the old school Hollywood tough guys.

Trump say's they are going to pay illegals $1000 to voluntarily leave the country.

Don't pay them anything. Round em up, and ship em out.

It will probably not help with 1000 USD, in Sweden we have had the same amount for years, apparently with very low success rate. So low in fact that the politicians are talking about upping it to 35 000 USD.

Apparently, the cost of deportation per person is 17k. A airline ticket and 1K is a bargain if that's true. I doubt they have many, if any takers.

A grand is nothing compared to what illegals can pilfer from this country over time.
