On Monday night, the somewhat unclear and perplexing proposal by Donald Trump regarding the rescue of Hollywood became a popular topic for comedic discussion on shows like “Jimmy Kimmel Live.
In his recent monologue, Kimmel remarked that Trump seems determined to demolish Hollywood with his latest move, referring to a social media post Trump made over the weekend about his proposed plan to revitalize the entertainment industry.
He stated that ‘The American Movie Industry is rapidly declining. Other nations are enticing our filmmakers and studios with various incentives to leave the U.S. This trend is causing significant damage to Hollywood and many other U.S. areas. This appears to be a deliberate move by other countries, which poses a threat to our national security.’
Thus, I am directing the Department of Commerce and the United States Trade Representative to initiate the procedure for imposing a 100% tax on movies originating from foreign countries. Our goal is to revive movie production within our borders once more!
Kimmel zeroed in on the vagueness of what this really means.
As a film enthusiast, I’d put it this way: “I don’t let the origin of a movie sway my opinion. It’s the story that matters to me. And speaking of stories, if Dr. Hannibal Lecter were here, he’d agree – Sonic, the rogue hedgehog, is a potential risk to our nation’s security. He needs to be apprehended!
Trump’s decision wasn’t a spontaneous moment on a Sunday evening. Instead, he had stated that he’d been conducting thorough research over the past week, which might suggest they had a leisurely brunch together at Mar-A-Lago with Jon Voight over the weekend.
When the audience chuckled, Kimmel noted that it wasn’t a joke — that was very true.
He stated that it was allegedly this source who provided him with the concept for both the tariff and the movies – Angelina Jolie’s elderly father, whom she no longer communicates with. What an intriguing notion! The following year, we can expect ‘The White Lotus‘ to be set in a Hampton Inn.
The declaration by Trump on Monday that he intended to levy a 100% tariff on all films originating from foreign countries caused a wave of doubt and bewilderment in Hollywood, as it remained unclear what specific issues Trump aimed to address, and whether his proposal was feasible or even lawful.
In line with EbMaster’s recent update, I learned on Monday that Trump made his comments following a meeting with actor Jon Voight and his producing partner, Steven Paul, over the weekend. They presented a detailed strategy to revive our struggling entertainment industry. This strategy encompasses federal incentives for production and post-production, co-production agreements with foreign countries, subsidies for theater owners and production companies regarding infrastructure, job training programs, and potential adjustments in the tax code. However, they emphasized that tariffs would only be implemented in specific, limited situations.
