Soon he’ll want Wallace & Gromit with American humour.
What a terrifying idea!

Someone else’s comment:
Tbh, at this point I think he says this shit as a way to distract people from something else. Him posting a picture of himself as Pope, now this dumbass movie tariff. It’s his typical playbook. Say something dumb and the media and the like will eat it up while he does something else that chips away at our freedoms.
I also like how the media tries to justify everything this fucking clown does. “Oh well the film industry is down 49% cause of other governments offering incentives to film abroad.” Yea dumb ass, that’s how you get industries interested in the first place. Offering discounts to film executives — crazy fucking idea I know.

And another one:
But do you understand it will harm Hollywood? This is the economic, country scale equivalent of saying “fuck your movies,” do you think the answer will be “oh sorry, I’ll keep buying yours” or “fuck your movies too”?
