i think Trump is using Tariffs as a way to punish his enemies and he's now going after Hollywood due it's association with liberals, the tariffs on other countries is cause he can't go to war with nations without congressional approval anyway and this is his only legal way to declare war without blowing places up cause he's not getting his way.

But that’s everything not just film and TV operations. It’s going everywhere if approved.
"Approved?" Nobody has "approved" any tariffs. They've all been done by executive order.
True Congress and Courts has to disapprove or approve the tariffs that’s where I was going with this.
The only way they get to the courts is if someone sues. Some are questioning if he can even do this:
And that's guaranteed.
Congress? Congress? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The courts? Like the one that gave him a blank check to do any damn thing he wants?

Here we go again with film tariffs in the news again also we mention this here before how does one define American film and Foreign films exactly. First of all we previously mention that certain US films (Made by Paramount, MGM, Disney, WB, Universal Pictures) are done outside the country. Also we previously mentioned that theres are "Foreign TV and films" made in the USA and they are owned by entities from outside the US such as Sony Entertainment whose TV and Film operations are in Culver City, but their CEO's and boards office is in Japan. Same for Fremantle their content is made in the US and their main office for their CEO and board are in the UK.
Honestly, the tax should probably go the other way, i.e. an export tax.
Hollywood should reflect American values, and that means taking steps to prevent government censors from governments like Saudi Arabia and China from having a say in US film production. That probably means decoupling Disney, Universal, and other studios from those markets.

Yup, here we go again. Let it never be said that Trump is willing to let go of a truly stupid idea.
