In a Trump post on Truth Social, he said this:
"The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death. Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, and many other areas within the U.S.A., are being devastated. This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda! Therefore, I am authorizing the Department of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative, to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands. WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!"
The King of Hyperbole strikes again! "A National Security threat". Yeah, right.
And this is the man in the White House RIGHT NOW.
2028 cannot come soon enough to save us from this megalomaniac.

@Suzianne saidRead that this is a ploy to try to mollify red rural voters who are getting very peeved. Alcatraz was closed due to the high cost of maintaining it. Plus, it is now a San Francisco US park system attraction that pulls in quite a bit of revenue. Little chance it will be reopened as a prison.
I also heard he wanted to open up Alcatraz again.
He's really on a roll this week already.
I'd like to stick him in a barrel and roll him down Telegraph Hill.
