Former President Donald Trump on Sunday expanded his trade war rhetoric to include criticism of the entertainment industry. The move marks a notable shift in tone, suggesting that Trump’s economic grievances now extend beyond manufacturing and agriculture to also target cultural exports such as cinema.
While the Trump administration primarily focused its tariff policies and trade disputes on tangible goods and bilateral trade agreements, the latest remarks indicate that Trump views Hollywood and the broader entertainment sector as part of the U.S. economy impacted by global trade dynamics. The statement reflects ongoing tensions during his political rallies, where he frequently decries perceived cultural biases and economic disadvantages facing the United States.
Analysts suggest this rhetoric could serve to energize parts of Trump’s political base by framing entertainment products as yet another front in a broader struggle against foreign competition and domestic elites. However, there was no immediate indication that specific policy proposals or trade measures targeting the film industry are forthcoming.
The comments come amid continuing debates around the role of cultural institutions in national identity and economic policy, reinforcing Trump’s pattern of linking social and economic critiques into a unified populist message.
