The sort of remarkably shortsighted policy that is a hallmark of this administration.

Probably not a coincidence that this comes right after Demon Slayer won the US box office for two weeks in a row. Nationalism sure makes people stupid.

That's putting it mildly. It's unclear how it could even possibly be implemented at all.

for too many reasons to list right now, this fool needs to be removed from office but he really must have something on the GOP members of Congress for the way they just let him do w/e he wants. He doesn't even legally have the power to set tariffs. multiple courts ruled on this.

The tangerine really intends to make things miserable for people trying to find some sort of joy in life, all while alienating trading partners in the process. Really feels like the US is on the fast track to becoming Roanapur.

Any movies slated to come here like the Chainsaw Man Ryze Arc movie, the theatrical release of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing Engless Waltz and Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans Uridr Hunt are still coming to the West. Beyond that, I could go for a ramen flavored T.A.C.O. right about now.

The way his comment is phrased, I suspect he is thinking specifically of live action theatrical shows that compete with similar shows traditionally made in Hollywood. It is doubtful that he has any idea of how complex a mare's nest implementation would be.

It would be fair if every other country responded by setting 100% tariff on all american movies. Fair's fair, right? Though I'm sure the tangerine in White House would throw a tantrum..

It sounds like he thinks that movies made with cheap sets on soundstages or the studio back lots were the height of cinema. That tracks for someone stuck in the 1950s

I really wish the tangerine and his goons would just... go away. So tired of the constant chaos and BS from this administration.
