  Translation: he posted incoherent nonsense and once anyone with half a brain looked at it they had to explain that it was completely impossible.

  There’s no such thing as a “tariff” on intellectual property. Tariffs are a tax on bringing physical goods into the country.

  There’s no physical good being brought through a port of entry for foreign made movies, so claiming to put a tariff on that just shows that you have no idea what tariffs are.

    The statute he uses for emergency tariffs specifically excludes information, films, & art - www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/50/1702

  Hollywood: makes 25352826373725252 super hero movies. “We’re dying!”

  “Conservatives”: Time to save Hollywood with tarrifs!

  Also “conservatives”: we don’t believe the government should be picking winners and losers. Competition is healthy for capitalism!

  Hmmm…
