President Trump’s decision to slap a 100% tariff on all foreign-made movies is exactly the kind of bold, America-first move this country desperately needs. For too long, America’s once-great film industry has been hollowed out by globalists who put cheap labor and foreign incentives over American jobs and culture. Hollywood’s bloodline is American, but big studios have been sneaking off to Canada, Europe, and even China to shoot movies, lured by sweetheart deals and tax breaks that our own government has shamefully failed to match.
The liberals running the show in Washington have been asleep at the wheel while our entertainment industry bled out piece by piece. They’d rather import foreign meddling disguised as “culture” than fight for American artists, union workers, and the middle class. This isn’t just about movies — it’s about our national identity and economic survival. When other nations can undercut us with subsidies and bribery, it’s not competition, it’s domination by stealth. Trump sees this as a national security threat, and he’s right. Hollywood making films abroad does nothing but hand the reins of America’s cultural influence to hostile foreign powers.
Trump to Impose 100% Tariff on Movies Produced in Foreign Countries: ‘We Want Movies Made in America Again’https://t.co/62m1N7UWpX

Actor Jon Voight, tapped by Trump to revive Hollywood, knows the truth inside the industry. The push for federal incentives to keep production stateside has been growing for years, but politicians have refused to act. Instead, Left-wing elites keep exporting jobs and production overseas, all while lecturing Americans about diversity and “wokeness.” This tariff policy tears through their smug narrative. It demands America be America again — with films showcasing our own values, made by American hands.
The petty backlash about “protectionism” is just predictable globalist whining. Since when is protecting American businesses and jobs a crime? Liberals love whining about “free trade,” but only when it benefits their coastal elites and multinational corporations. Meanwhile, middle America gets thrown under the bus. Trump’s move forces studios to put America first or pay up. If China and other enemies want to take offense, that’s their problem — not ours. It’s about time we stopped bowing and scraping to foreign powers who have no interest in our prosperity or culture.
This is not a stunt. It’s a battle for the soul of America’s film industry — and for the American worker. If we don’t stand firm on this, we might as well wave the white flag on Hollywood’s legacy. So here’s a question the so-called “leaders” need to answer: Are you ready to watch American movies made offshore by foreign interests? Or do you want bold, unapologetic American stories made by Americans, for Americans? Trump’s tariffs force that choice. It’s high time we put America first — on the screen and in the real world.
