During an October 30 YouTube broadcast from a Florida rally, US President Donald Trump accused the Democratic Party of causing America’s film industry to collapse.
The president stated that the relocation of movie and television production to foreign countries has left Hollywood nearly empty: “Hollywood is empty because of foreign countries. The Democrats allowed this to happen.”
Trump also noted that entertainment industry representatives who had previously criticized him are now seeking tax breaks for their sector. “The guys who have been saying nasty things about me for years are sitting in my office… Now they want tax breaks because their industry is dying in this country. And I will probably provide them,” he added.
