California has taxed themselves out of the movie industry. If I'm not mistaken most of the Marvel films were made in Atlanta and England. A lot of television shows are made in Canada or on location and studios around the US like Chicago or New York.

...and I don't feel the least bit sorry for California.

Losing any industry and American jobs is a matter of national security. He needs legal justification for any tariff, so that is what he is “weighing” to be able to do the tariffs within the existing law.

no its not. stop trying to make national security the next "racism" where its applied so much it loses all meaning.

there are far more jobs lost and at risk due to these tariffs than those protected by these Hollywood tariffs. heck even outside of the tariffs plenty of Americans lose their jobs due to market forces and its never been a matter of national security.

Los Angeles becomes even more of a disaster without that industry. The second largest city in the US and its employment base is less diversified than most.

Your “next racism” comment is stupid.

Los Angeles being a craphole doesn't make it a national security issue. at worst its an internal california issue. they need better election results and leaders, not protection from Bollywood. so yeah, I think my next racism comment applies.

@kiddiedoc around to tell us how, with George Washington, and Patton, and Eisenhower on our side, we're winning the trade war (even though we're going to bat with Bessent, Lutnick, and whatever other bootlicking clowns Trump uses)?

Well, it looks like the Trump administration, the US, and US industries are competing against slave labor in China ...

From the article:

Protests from furious factory workers in China demanding back pay are spreading across the country after President Trump’s tariffs on Chinese imports began impacting the communist nation’s economy.

Unrest has been reported across the country as workers have taken to the streets protesting unpaid wages and challenging unfair dismissals following the closures of factories squeezed by US tariffs, according to Radio Free Asia.

At least 16 million jobs across many industries in China are at risk due to President Trump’s imposing of a 145% tariff on Chinese imports, according to analysis from Goldman Sachs.

California's regulations did this to California. They have largely priced themselves out of this market....

Your mental gymnastics to support Trump 100% is amazing.

Let the free market do its job.

God, this is not what I want to see. Any hope I have that maybe he's just going to call off the dogs and claim victory. He clearly doesn't GAF about anything except his ego.
