As per the original article:
Gavin Newsom skewered Trump’s plan to slap tariffs on everything from eggs to movies with just five stinging words.
“PAY MORE AND ENJOY NOTHING,” the governor of California posted on X, adding, “That’s Donald Trump’s America.”
“You’re already paying more for eggs, coffee, toys, shoes, electricity, furniture, cars, and flights,” Newsom wrote, adding, “Now, Trump wants to raise taxes to see the movies.”
The governor’s post was a response to President Trump’s Monday rant on Truth Social, in which he said he would impose a “100% tariff on any and all movies that are made outside of the United States.”
Trump’s Truth Social post began by calling out Newsom: “Our movie making business has been stolen from the United States of America, by other Countries, just like stealing “candy from a baby.” California, with its weak and incompetent Governor, has been particularly hard hit!”
In May, Trump made a similar proposal, which led to a decline in stock prices for many top Hollywood studios and streaming services. At that time, Newsom suggested a federal tax incentive to keep more production in the U.S. as a countermeasure to potential tariffs, which never took effect.
Hollywood production companies often outsource because international sites offer lower labor costs and more favorable tax incentives than those in California. In July, Newsom expanded California’s Film and Television Tax Credit Program, aiming to keep more film production in the state.
A CBS News poll conducted late last month found that most Americans describe the U.S. economy as “uncertain” and “struggling.”
Despite uncertain American opinion, the president’s U.N. speech suggested that he remains optimistic about the impact of current tariffs on the economy.
In terms of moviegoing in the U.S., the industry has rebounded since its pandemic low, with the domestic box office reaching a post-pandemic peak of over $8.9 billion in 2023, before slipping in 2024.
It is still unclear how Trump plans to impose tariffs on foreign-made movies, as this would be the first time such tariffs target intellectual property rather than physical goods.

Newsom will be the dem candidate for 2028.
But the left will not vote for him because he fails their purity tests. Such as he’s campaigning now instead of starting a civil war over ICE raids. And one other issue that cannot be brought up.
It will be just like 2016 where the left boycotted Hillary

The likelihood of Newsom becoming our next president is inching towards reality. He may not be the choice of many Democrats but occasionally, the banana has a bruise.

So then it’s fair for other countries to tax or tariff intellectual property or services supplied by the US.
I seem to recall a few countries supporting this and the feedback from the US was hell no. That’s their bread and butter you can’t touch those.
Hypocritical morons.

I have less money, and I stress eat more ever since Trump came into office.
So Newsom might be on to something.

“You’ll own nothing and like it” sounding better now eh?

Republicans continue to cutting funding for or say we can’t afford: public education, public health, public infrastructure, public lands, public housing, public libraries, public radio, public television, medical research, social security, IRS, USPS, NOAA, OSHA, suicide prevention, worker rights, minimum wages, school lunches, disaster aid, environmental protections, utility subsides, renewable energy
But they’ve got trillions to add to the national debt, build concentration camps across the nation, fund a faceless heavily armed army that answer only to the executive branch, give billions to Israel, tax cuts to their wealthiest donors, gold plate the white house, fund Trumps million dollar golf outings….
They refuse to advocate for the American people and instead trade it all to billionaires and corporations. The only thing Republicans do is take from the American people.

Yeah, it’s dark out there, folks, and I don’t think anyone being honest with you will tell you otherwise.

Right on the ~~money~~, uh, no, right on the nose. I hate going to the grocery store now. Everything is $10. MAGA was gripping about $3.99 dozen eggs. I wish.

A [fact-check of the president’s claims](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fact-checking-trumps-recent-claims-about-the-economy/) found that while eggs, mortgage rates, and gas prices are down compared to when Trump took office, overall grocery and energy prices have continued to rise.
