Trump: I will be imposing a 100% tariff on any and all movies that are made outside of the United States

One trick pony is at it again

A brilliant plan, without a doubt. Finally, a solution that tackles the problem not by encouraging American industry to be more innovative or competitive, but by punishing those who, simply, offered a better or cheaper product. It's capitalism, but in reverse: instead of improving ourselves, we make everything else more expensive and inferior.

One wonders what the spirits of Adam Smith and the invisible hand of the market, who have been advocating for freedom of choice for centuries, will say upon seeing this "stolen lollipop" maneuver. Perhaps it's a new, bold economic doctrine: "Sandbox Protectionism," where if your sandcastle is less beautiful, you don't work to rebuild it, you just throw buckets of water on everyone else's.

And to think that it was the very American capitalist model, with its fierce pursuit of profit and efficiency, that globalized production and created this competitiveness. A truly cutthroat "competition" that, ironically, is now biting the hand that fed it.

Make Capitalism Great Again by Abolishing Its Core Principles! A truly... presidential move.

You better handle government shoutdown instead complaining about movies who nobody except US wants to watch. There is no joy watching movie where chatGPT wrote the script.

Trump: We won the Ryder Cup. Dont be fooled by the actual result.. It was a great win...
However!!!! I will be imposing 6 shot tariffs on all non US golfers. These golfers will pay as they have been mean and nasty to America.
Thank you for your attention...

Films are intellectual property.

I think the only way to capture the tariff is to charge ticket holders a 100% tax. What would that make the total for a family of four?

Trump, I wish you would read... Can you spend 2 minutes on the presidency

Also, he has no idea what the metaphor "stealing candy from a baby" means.

Trumpfukistan: Population - Stupid

I don't think you can tariff a movie, unless you mean tariffs on physical media like Blu-ray discs.

So weird what his plan for doing this?….. zZzZz he got nothing better things to do other than imposing tariffs lolzzzz one of the useless P in the history ;p

He literally has you TDS'ers crying about tariffs on movies now.

Trump is possessed by the devil, his tariffs will bring America to hell. Now they are no longer able to compete, they produce nothing, they are just buyers from all over the world. America is a useless continent with stupid people.

dumb

Might be surprised how many fairly major films were not primarily shot in the US.

Just off the top of my head, Jaws, The Matrix films, at least one Mission Impossible (clearly 2, but others as well), Gladiator, X Men franchise. There is heaps more - they were just blockbusters that ring a bell with me.

Will his next step be imposing tariffs on people inhales and exhales !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is he checking for US air whether it is stolen as well ! LOLs

The majority of Trump-branded products were and are made in China—such a hypocrite. Trump-branded merchandise, clothing, and even the Trump Bible were printed in China. Is MAGA really that dumb to not see what a con this guy is?

Thanks Trump, they are all not traders here, they don't understand the statements and policies you made, that gold will always be high and you will win all of this.

i wish that trump to put 100% or higher tariff on everything from other countries, so there is no need to think of selling to usa, let them produce everything themselves.

American actors, directors and producers, who are all clear Republican supporters, are simply not paid enough. They need protection from any competition which is very unfair, and they need it now.

Support the dollar dum trump, stop posting these useless posts

There are plenty of great movies made outside of America. But sure, whatever rocks your boat.

The real question is how do we use this to make money trading?

He made this announcement because Marvel announced that they're moving their Atlanta studios to England.

Not like there are any good movies made outside of America anyways.

sure you will

He means bollywood

Buy or sell

America has the best movies. They're not being kind to our movies. They should be watching our movies so much more. I know a thing or two about movies. They say I know so much about movies I should be the president of movies.

I guess IKEA is safe from tariffs as they just send pile of parts, which ends up to be a furniture or not.

Hollywood is trump biggest enemy, tariffs on foreign movies is very dumb act.

does this shiii affect the market

Many people in the US stopped going to movies when streaming took over, that’s why AMC basically went bankrupt and dumb meme people lost all their money in it. We used to go to the movies all the time, had a membership and everything. Now almost all movies in the theater simply aren’t worth paying for at all. Where I am most everyone has a large media room with high end equipment, mush better and more comfortable than a theater. Plus many things on streaming are simply better. The old movie business is dying, so as usual this is not actually news.

Remember the car customs incident. Short impact will be inevitable in the short term. Plan your risk for USD and focus. Look at the markets objectively.

Bullish for crypto

Can we put a tariff on the excessive use of CGI too

His plan and mission is to screw up USA permanently.

No more Spiderman 785!

That would be a good thing.

Should just TPB it anyway...

fucking dipshit
