Apparently, foreign films are a "National security threat."

Which is Trumpspeak for "something I don't like."

The man's an idiot. If he had any brains he'd take them out and play with them.
I think he doesn't mind having any REAL friends because he likely never had any as a child either. I think he was born was born a  vindictive, bitter old man.
How putting tariffs on forgien films is going to make American films any better is a mystery to me.

Yeah, slapping 100% tariffs on foreign films is like blaming subtitles for box office flops. The real problem isn't foreign competition. It's stale scripts, reboots nobody asked for, and streaming fatigue.
Is it October yet?

I suspect his dementia is getting worse and worse. I'll be surprised if he sees 2027, let alone the end of this year.
yeah no.

Of course, the unions are all for it...
Then again, I've never really been a fan of unions...
