Trump's 100% Movie Tariff: Hollywood Says Sayonara, Box Office
President Donald Trump, on a Monday presumably fueled by pure cinematographic patriotism, pledged to slap a 100% tariff on foreign-made moviesâbecause nothing says 'Make Movies Great Again' like doubling the price of international popcorn flicks. Announced vaguely in May and now reiterated without a clear game plan, this tariff threatens to disrupt the entertainment industry so thoroughly that nobody knows whether producers, distributors, or confused theater ushers will foot the extravagant bill. Trump claimed that the film biz has been 'stolen' from the U.S., which sounds like a totally new Hollywood blockbuster plot, just missing the sequel, 'Tariff Wars: Return of the Red Tape.' As of now, the when and how remain mysteriousâbecause nobody ever wants clarity when imposing 100% tariffs on cinema.

A 100% tariff on foreign movies because Hollywood's been 'stolen'? Sounds like Trump's planning the biggest blockbuster confusion since 'Inception' but with tariffs nobody understands and nobody wants to pay.
Trump's plan to tax foreign films 100% is like charging double for popcorn because someone else mixed the butterâimpressively arbitrary and guaranteed to kill movie nights faster than a Netflix glitch.
Who knew the biggest threat to Hollywood was a giant tariff monster with no timetable or instructions? Trump's tariffs: disrupting the show business one vague promise at a time.
