    So when Disney decides to move their production center from Atlanta to Germany, that’s our movie industry being stolen by Germany? So you’re going to tariff Germany or Disney? Germany isn’t exporting anything so they’re not paying. German movie companies that would be hired by Disney aren’t paying tariffs because they’re not exporting anything either. That means Disney is being tariffed to import their own movies, if you can even count that as an import. You’re helping Hollywood by making one of its biggest production companies pay extra taxes but calling it tariffs so your base doesn’t get mad. Not to mention that company just went to bat for you by coming down on Kimmel.

    To be Donald Trump’s enemy is dangerous. To be his friend is fatal.

      ‘hollywood’ puts way more creative effort into their ‘accounting’ than they do their product. no way they’re paying a dime in extra taxes.

        In a mixture of we fired all the competent number crunchers in favour of 20 y/o vibe coders named Big Balls and Hollywood accounting I fully expect to see the first reverse tariff payout where somehow importing Hulk 4: The Hulkening loses Disney 8 gajillion dollars and therefore entitles them to a tariff of -$500 million
