President Trump is once again stepping up where the radical left and globalist elites refuse to act—fighting to bring American jobs and industry back home. This time, his target is the crumbling Hollywood movie machine, hollowed out by foreign competition and liberal nonsense. The president is ready to roll up his sleeves and meet with Hollywood insiders to push tariffs on foreign films—a bold move to protect American filmmakers and studios that have been left behind by decades of bad policies and cultural decay.
Hollywood’s so-called magic has become a shell of its former self. Despite the glitz and glamour, most movies are no longer made on American soil. Other nations are throwing money at filmmakers, luring them away with cheap production costs and sweetheart deals. Meanwhile, our own entertainment industry suffers and American workers lose good-paying jobs. This isn’t just business as usual; it’s a strategic attack on our economy and, yes, a national security threat. Foreign propaganda and messaging flood our screens, eroding the very fabric of American culture. President Trump rightly calls this out and is using his power to safeguard our economic future and cultural identity.

Don’t expect the woke left in California to stand for it. Their solution? More taxpayer giveaways masked as “film incentives” that do nothing but reward Hollywood’s crony capitalism and erase the incentive for actual American job growth. Democrats are all talk and no real action, clinging to empty promises while Hollywood continues its decline. Meanwhile, Trump’s administration is pushing a no-nonsense approach—exploring tariffs that force the industry to compete on American ground, building back up the kind of quality jobs that built this nation.
Veterans like Jon Voight have even stepped in, laying out a detailed plan with the president to boost American movie production. This plan includes smart tax reforms, job training, and co-production deals that actually favor U.S. workers. It’s a shot across the bow to the globalist elites who’ve let the industry run amok overseas. Trump’s agenda is clear: make Hollywood great again by putting America and its workers first. And make no mistake, this fight is about more than just movies—it’s about reclaiming our culture and economy from foreign influence and liberal decay.
If Hollywood refuses to get on board, then let the tariffs hit. The days of pandering to global freeloaders are over. America must take care of Americans first. Trump’s willingness to confront this broken industry and shake things up is exactly the kind of leadership missing from Washington these days. So, will Hollywood step up and fight for American jobs, or will they continue to bow to leftist ideology and globalist greed? The choice is clear—America first, or Hollywood forever lost.
