The Internet Is SUPER Confused About Trump's 100% Hollywood Film Tariff
Donald Trump had a busy Sunday night posting on the internet!
He posted about wanting to "REBUILD" and "OPEN" Alcatraz.
He went on a rant against Karl Rove.
He did some promo for his crypto and AI dinner.
His team was knee-deep in May the 4th AI pictures.
And he posted about wanting to tariff Hollywood movies 100% that are produced in other countries.
He's calling it a "National Security threat."
Lawmaker Daniel Goldman said, "Movies are a national security threat but Pete Hegseth isn't?"
International film distributor Janus Films just did the swirly-eyed emoji.
And a bunch of people were like, "How the hell can you tariff a movie?!"
"How would a tariff on foreign movies actually work. If you go to the movies or watch Netflix & happen to catch a foreign made movie, how would a tariff be calculated?" someone asked.
"How does one collect tariffs on a digital product?" another person wondered.
And this person joked, "1,000% tariff on all movies not filmed at Alcatraz."
But the funniest responses are these jokes:
"Coming soon to Netflix: Emily in Detroit"
"White Lotus: Cleveland"
And "Can't wait for the new Lord of the Rings shot in Iowa!!!"

Trump says 'changes' are coming to immigration enforcement after complaints from farmers and the hospitality industry
Trump is signaling that changes are coming to immigration enforcement. He said that farmers and people in the hospitality industry are losing good workers. "We're going to have to use a lot of common sense," Trump said. There may be some changes coming to the Trump administration's approach to immigration enforcement. President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post on Thursday that both farmers and "people in the Hotel and Leisure business" have said that his approach to immigration enforcement "is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace." "In many cases the Criminals allowed into our Country by the VERY Stupid Biden Open Borders Policy are applying for those jobs," Trump added. "This is not good. We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA. Changes are coming!" At a White House event later on Thursday, he said that "we're going to have an order on that pretty soon, I think." "We can't do that to our farmers," Trump said. "We're going to have to use a lot of common sense." It comes one day after Tom Homan, the Executive Associate Director of Enforcement and Removal Operations, told Semafor that the administration would begin prosecuting companies that employ immigrants living in the country illegally. According to Census data, the agriculture and leisure industries have relatively high proportions of non-US citizen workers. Read the original article on Business Insider

Here's where 'No Kings' protests are happening around Kentucky on June 14
Protests in Kentucky are scheduled for June 14, the same day a massive military parade is set to take to the streets of Washington in an elaborate showcase of troops, tanks, weapons and aircraft. The parade, estimated to cost $40 million, coincides with both the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary and President Donald Trump's 79th birthday. In response to the extravagantly costly display, a mobilization of "No Kings" protests have been organized nationwide. Here's what you should know. The protest organizer's website describes "No Kings" as a "nationwide day of defiance" in response to Trump and the military parade, saying, "we're taking action to reject authoritarianism." With an emphasis on nonviolent activism, the website outlines the movement's broad appeal, "from city blocks to small towns," and makes a promise to battle Trump's "ego" in a fight for democracy. "On June 14th, we're showing up everywhere he isn't – to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings," the website reads. Story continues below gallery.

National Portrait Gallery head resigns two weeks after Trump called for her firing
The director of the National Portrait Gallery has resigned from her post, according to a memo sent to Smithsonian employees and obtained by CNN. Kim Sajet's departure from the gallery comes just two weeks after President Donald Trump called for her employment to be terminated in a post on Truth Social, claiming she was 'highly partisan' and a supporter of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives that his administration has worked to end. The secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, Lonnie Bunch, wrote in the memo that Sajet is stepping down on Friday, writing that she had led the gallery 'with passion and creativity for 12 years.' The New York Times first reported Sajet's resignation. 'Throughout her tenure, she has reimagined and reshaped the impact and storytelling of portraiture,' Bunch said. Sajet was the first woman to serve in the role. The National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC, is part of the Smithsonian Institution, which is the world's largest museum complex, including 21 museums and the National Zoo. Earlier this week, the Smithsonian released a statement emphasizing its 'nonpartisan stature' and saying 'all personnel decisions' are made by its secretary. The institution added that its Board of Regents 'is committed to ensuring that the Smithsonian is a beacon of scholarship free from political or partisan influence.' Trump has sought to influence cultural and artistic institutions, including the Smithsonian. In March, he signed an executive order putting Vice President JD Vance in charge of stopping government spending on 'exhibits or programs that degrade shared American values, divide Americans based on race, or promote programs or ideologies inconsistent with Federal law and policy.' Vance serves on the institution's board of regents by virtue of his role as vice president. 'This was not an easy decision, but I believe it is the right one,' Sajet said in a statement included in Bunch's memo, which did not mention Trump. 'From the very beginning, my guiding principle has been to put the museum first. Today, I believe that stepping aside is the best way to serve the institution I hold so deeply in my heart,' she added. Bunch wrote that the undersecretary for museums and culture, Kevin Gover, will take over as acting director of the gallery.
