    The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very
    fast death.

    Other Countries are offering all sorts
    of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios
    away from the United States. Hollywood, and
    many other areas within the U.S.A., are being
    devastated.

    This is a concerted effort by other
    Nations and, therefore, a National Security
    threat.

    It is, in addition to everything else,
    messaging and propaganda!

    Therefore, I am
    authorizing the Department of Commerce, and
    the United States Trade Representative, to
    immediately begin the process of instituting a
    100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our
    Country that are produced in Foreign Lands.

    WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!

    So if I want to watch a movie on a streaming service they have to
    collect the 100% tariff. What if the streaming service isn't run by a
    US company? This might work for theater releases but it gets murky
    with so many streaming/download services located in the USA and
    elsewhere.

    Christ, I thought it was a joke. But, no, this from Reuters:

    Trump appointed three Hollywood veterans Jon Voight, Sylvester
    Stallone and Mel Gibson, in January, to bring Hollywood back "bigger,
    better and stronger than ever before."

    So that's how Kevin Sorbo is going to get
    an acting gig...

    He's got three or more movies out just this year so he isn't hurting
    for work. Though these aren't movies you or I are likely to see but
    they are actual movies.

    Moronic Trump the Chump also wants to re-open Alcatraz Prison ... they
    should lock him inside by himself and then throw away the keys.
