  • 100% Tariff on foreign films

    From Joseph Pereira@1:124/5016 to All on Tue May 6 06:33:34 2025

    https://www.pbs.org/newshour/arts/trump-threatens-100-percent-tariff-on-foreign-made-films-saying-domestic-movie-industry-is-dying

    Trump wants to impose a 100% tariff in support of what he considers the dying American film industry. This means that foreign films would be subject to a 100% levy. 1 The word 'insanity' is probably too mild for the orange monster that resides in the White House.

    Gas stations are now paying us to take gas off their hands, and over
    450 countries are calling Trump non-stop ready to make a deal over
    tarriffs! What a great time to be an American!

    Per Scott Bessent: "This is not branding. It's not messaging. This is
    policy - with sharp edges and real consequences for business, capital
    and the global economy. Washington is no longer neutral about where
    things are made. It is picking a side, and for the first time in a
    generation - that side is American Industry."
