Trump tariffs: US president says non-US movies to be hit with 100% levies
The president blamed foreign-made movies for the American film industry's "very fast death".
You're viewing a single thread.
Movies and TV shows are the US's cultural export. It helps keep us front of mind. They are essentially asking for retaliation where the US is erased from all foreign screens.
As a non American, that kind of sounds like a good thing tbh. US cultural exportation is why the MAGA right is popping up all over the west
I mean, I would think it's the billionaire financiers that are directly funding the right, but the movies probably don't help.
The movies normalized The American Way™ as the default way of doing things. The billionaires then financed the people pitching The American Way™. Without the first, the second wouldn't work.
It might be a "good" thing, but it is an incredibly stupid thing for a US president to cause, that is unless they're trying to undermine the power of the US.
