Today we hear about RedTrump wanting to place 100% tariffs on movies and media, it's basically a rock being thrown at his foreign media critics.

It reminds me of the time some Hollywood Director, I can't recall which one, lectured Andrew Lloyd Webber about coming to Hollywood to make "The Big Dollars", boasting about a few hundred million made by a recent hit movie, to which Lloyd Webber kindly and quietly highlighted that Cats had made $6 Billion.

I doubt the foreign media or industry really care what RedTrump does, that industry makes it's money from bums on seats and the USA is a tiny fraction of the global market. In any case, as his trade policies persist, the traditional US movie going market won't be in a position to afford any of that "luxury" activity!

The USA is about 4% of the global market, maybe somebody should send RedTrump to a matinee session of Crazy Rich Asians!

Trump wants to reopen Alcatraz to house the worst of the worst crims, according to Former speaker Nancy Pelosi it wont be happening due to the massive cost to refit and run the former Prison island which is now a tourist attraction and part of the National Park system.
