Tariff man announces two more targets: Furniture and film

  • Trump says he will put huge tariffs on movies and furniture
tariff man d

Trump is out with a pair of messages on Truth Social:

In order to make North Carolina, which has completely lost its furniture business to China, and other Countries, GREAT again, I will be imposing substantial Tariffs on any Country that does not make its furniture in the United States. Details to follow!!! President DJT

And this:

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! Therefore, in order to solve this long time, never ending problem, I will be imposing a 100% Tariff on any and all movies that are made outside of the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DJT

It's unclear how it's possible to put a tariff on a movie.

I suspect the recent positive market reaction and lower-than-feared inflation has emboldened Trump to press further on tariffs.
