Speaking on Truth Social, Trump argued that foreign nations offering significant incentives to filmmakers posed a “national security threat,” claiming these tactics contribute to the decline of US-based film production.

Who will tell the Emperor he's got the wrong coloured sabre?
He's a provacateur. Everyone's got their panties in a twist with these photos. You have no clue how to react to these photos. Because your brain is so hard-wired and pre-programmed to think a president should never do sth risque like that. You're confused and distraught and anxious. You're not sure how to react. You're afraid even, maybe. What if the president is nuts? Should I hide under my bed? I would say he's outwitting most of you. Not that he has cognitive decline. -

MTG rails against Trump
Yet here you are in the twilight of your life interacting with us "very sad and confused humans", thereby making your life less "amazing and full". That doesn't make much sense, buddy, so my advise to you would be to run away now, while you can! -

Report Trump’s Movie Tariff Threatens Thailand’s Role as a Hollywood Filming Hub
File photo for reference only In a bold policy announcement, former US President Donald Trump revealed plans to impose a 100% tariff on films produced outside the United States, targeting a dynamic shift affecting the American movie industry. Speaking on Truth Social, Trump argued that foreign nations offering significant incentives to filmmakers posed a “national security threat,” claiming these tactics contribute to the decline of US-based film production. The tariff's unexpected nature has left many in the industry scrambling for clarity, as Trump insisted on swift action through the Department of Commerce. Yet, critical questions remain unanswered, including whether the tariffs would impact both theatrical releases and streaming services or how they would be calculated—by production cost or box office revenue. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed the Department's immediate engagement with the policy but did not elaborate on specifics. Meanwhile, the Motion Picture Association, representing major studios, has yet to issue a formal response, deepening the uncertainty within Hollywood. At stake is both the geographic and economic landscape of US film production. For years, filmmakers have gravitated towards countries like Canada, Britain, and Australia, drawn by lucrative tax incentives designed to offset production costs. Notably, locations such as New Zealand gained fame as the backdrop for iconic films like The Lord of the Rings, while Australia has hosted Marvel blockbusters. The ripple effects of Trump’s tariff announcement have already reached shores abroad. Australian and New Zealand officials have expressed readiness to safeguard their film industries, recognising the potential to benefit from a US slowdown amid ongoing trade tensions. According to research by ProdPro, nearly half of all spending by US producers on high-budget film and TV projects now occurs outside the country, driven by both economic incentives and recent natural disasters in California. The January wildfires exacerbated these concerns, as producers and crews reconsider filming in Los Angeles—a city where production has fallen by nearly 40% over the last decade. The competitive gap highlights urgent conversations underway in Hollywood, with industry leaders urging Governor Gavin Newsom to enhance California's own tax incentives to retain and attract productions. In this delicate climate, former Commerce official William Reinsch warns that retaliatory tariffs from overseas could prove disastrous for the American industry. "The retaliation will kill our industry. We have a lot more to lose than to gain," Reinsch asserts, questioning the viability of Trump's national security argument for films. Trump's proposed tariff joins a series of trade conflicts initiated during his administration, each raising questions about the broader economic impact. As Hollywood grapples with the potential fallout, the prospect of increased costs and global pushback looms—posing troubling questions about the future of film production in America.
