    Under what authority?

    Is the emergency authorization he’s been using and saying the imports are bringing in fentanyl somehow applicable here?

    Does the fentanyl somehow shoot into my eyes when watching a foreign movie?

    Have we just completely stopped the part where we go “hey, that doesn’t seem to be something you have the power to do” and moved fully into the dictator era?

      No one is stopping him, so he may as well do whatever he wants.

      Those movies probably teach the children how to be gay or make fentanyl.

    Who needs external culture, we got Marvel and Star Wars movies to milk for at least another couple decades.

      Well, it’s unclear if this means films that are shot abroad would also be subject to tariffs. If so it could be a problem for Star Wars given a lot of star wars shots are filmed in other countries

        Not to mention the amount of TV shows shot in Canada.

        The consistent answer is it applies to whatever moves his preferred stocks in the direction he wants.

    A friend of mine has been playing Black Myth Wukong and I’ve been joking with my friends about tariffs affecting video game prices. I guess the jokes on me because now I actually see that in the near future.
