There is no law that gives Trump the power to impose tariffs on movies made abroad. It's not an economic emergency. It doesn't constitute a plausible threat to national security. I have no idea if he's really going to do this, but if he does, every studio should immediately sue. https://t.co/b3I7ERr6hi

Yet… He literally cheered when the Saudis Started LIV Golf to compete with PGA Tour where they poached PGA Tour players with millions in incentives.

How the actual fuck do you put a tariff on a movie? Double the price of a ticket? Instead of this pudding-brained approach, how about offering incentives to shoot here like every other country in the world? What a fucking idiot. https://t.co/H8i9Zp651a

While Trump doesn’t need help coming up with truly stupid ideas, the sheer idiocy of this one in particular has an explanation.
Trump got his movie tariff idea this week from crazy Jon Voight. https://t.co/dyR4zl68P3 pic.twitter.com/z7by0NVP2t
