Donald Trump has taken a bold step toward revitalizing Hollywood, an industry that has found itself increasingly lost in the depths of its own self-indulgence and incompetence. In a move that would make any conservative proud, he’s assembled a superstar team of entertainment stalwarts: Jon Voight, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone. These heavyweights have been tapped as special envoys with a mission that sounds simultaneously grand and utterly achievable—make Hollywood great again.
Trump’s announcement, shared on his own Truth Social platform, marked the latest example of how he aims to apply business-minded solutions to an industry currently facing an identity crisis. With production fleeing California like it’s trying to escape an unqualified celebrity host on a game show, the president-elect emphasized his commitment to restoring Hollywood’s glory and bringing those jobs back home. Los Angeles isn’t just a couple of palm trees and movie theaters; it should be the cultural powerhouse of America, not a dusty relic of faded fame.
The trio of Voight, Gibson, and Stallone could hardly be better suited for this herculean task. Jon Voight has long been unapologetically supportive of Trump, making it clear that he doesn’t just care about the business side of things—he wants to restore pride to American cinema. Mel Gibson and Sylvester Stallone are no strangers to comeback narratives themselves, having weathered their own storms in Hollywood. With these ambassadors in place, the promise of a cinematic renaissance is tantalizingly within reach.
The dire state of Hollywood isn’t just a story of glitz and glamour gone wrong; it’s a narrative steeped in grim statistics. The Biden administration, whether it was by mere incompetence or deliberate measures, has exacerbated the issues plaguing the film industry. Major studios are moving their productions overseas, amassing savings at the cost of American creativity and jobs—savings that, ironically, have yet to translate into better films. The result? A staggering drop in movie and television content that has sent employment in Hollywood spiraling downward and left Executive Suites feeling like abandoned lifeboats on a sinking ship.

The numbers paint a bleak picture: In 2023 alone, Disney wielded an axe that cut 7,000 jobs, but don’t expect them to stop there. The company’s CEO, Bob Iger, continues to shave down payrolls with the ruthless efficiency of a Hollywood editing session. With Chinese censors now controlling what gets to see the light of day in their cinemas, it’s as if the once-thriving synergy between Hollywood and foreign box offices has turned into a hostile standoff. As studios desperately greenlight fewer and fewer shows, job losses mount, creating a vicious cycle that begs intervention.
With Trump’s new strategy and his handpicked ambassadors ready to spring into action, the hope for Hollywood may not be as dim as it seems. If Voight, Gibson, and Stallone can navigate the convoluted waters of this disheartened industry, there’s a chance that the age of successful American filmmaking can rise from the ashes. So, here’s to making Hollywood great again—because if anyone knows how to stage a comeback, it’s these iconic stars.
