Trump has a great deal of potential leverage over the industry. The question is whether he will use it.

The entertainment industry has long pursued a radical anti-American agenda. It has made its hostility to Trump clear. Audiences have failed to punish Hollywood’s propaganda. But Trump can.

Hollywood is obsessed with transforming America. It’s time for America to transform it instead.

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam.

We The People can choose to not attend Hollyweird movies and not watch their TV programs nor pay singers and other entertainers who disrespect our President. We don’t have to patronize and spend our hard-earned dollars on Liberals who forget their purpose is to entertain not be anarchists.

I, for one, will never watch Meryl Streep or any of the other vermin who have acted like rude animals to President Trump; case closed.

What Hollywood can expect from Trumpsters: boycotts, especially award shows (i.e. Oscars).

It’s easy to fight back . . .

Announce a $3 per movie ticket surcharge to be used to fund Planned Parenthood, replacing ALL federal funding.

Gets to teach a lesson to them about marginal tax rate increases as well as teaching them what a user fee is.

I bet they will make a bunch of anti Trump films such as Mexico and China invading America and the sorrowful tale of millions of young fighting men from Muslim countries who just had their visaa denied and will never drive cabs or be baggage handlers in America.

Most of Hollywood is “owned” foreign investors, the Arabs (Especially the Saudi’s) have invested in it big time. I’m sure Iran has a foothold as well as others. Hollywood is giant toilet and if Donald Trump has leverage he should flush it. The Left wing is out of control and a good place to Start flushing them out is the entertainment indusrty and then the Media.

Trump can expect continuous attacks from Hollyweird with movies about a ‘heroic’ resistance of minorities or perverts fighting against an evil president trying to make himself dictator, or against a president who has made himself dictator (a thinly veiled Pres. Trump, of course), or surviving under an oppressive regime.
Also, every producer or director will try to ‘virtue signal’ by saying their movie is about this or that group’s resistance to oppression or their survival under oppression.
Expect a very dry period for decent movies.

"And the left doesn’t care if it loses financially as long as it wins ideologically" I don't believe that for one moment. They make lots of money. If you can get 10% of the population to buy your 'product' you will be wealthy. Look at "rock and roll" 90% of the population wasn't buy rock records but it because a force that greatly influenced American Culture. Image result for i expect you to die

What Trump Can Expect from Hollywood

Hollywood should be VERY CAREFUL!, President Trump could begin the push to AUDIT THE ENTIRE ENTERTAINMENT Industry for their “Special” rules and Shady accounting.

To Start with, he should start sending DEA and FBI Agents with Drug Sniffing dogs to Filming Locations and Studios, ARREST EVERYONE in Possession of Narcotics.

This will decimate Hollywood Overnight.

A post from a few days ago that’s appropriate in this thread:

“Dear Hollywood celebrities.....!!
It’s time to wake up now.
Get this! The only reason that you exist is for my entertainment.
Some of you are beautiful.

Some of you can deliver a
line with such conviction that you bring
tears to my eyes.

Some of you are so convincing
that you scare the shit out of me. And
others of you are so funny that you can
make me laugh uncontrollably.

But know this, you all have just one thing in common.
You only exist and have a place in my world to entertain me.
That’s it. Nothing else!

You make your living pretending to be someone else. You play
dress-up like a 5-year-old. Your world is a make believe world. It is not
real. It doesn’t exist. You live for the camera while the rest of us live in
the real world. Your entire existence depends on my patronage.

I crank the organ grinder, and you dance.
Therefore, I don’t care where you stand on issues.

Honestly, your opinion means nothing to me.
Just because you had a lead role in a movie about prostitution
doesn’t mean you know what it’s like to be a prostitute.

Your view matters far less to me than that of
someone living in Timbuktu.

Believe me or not, the hard truth is that you aren’t
real. I turn off my TV or shut down my
computer, and you cease to exist.

Once I am done with you, I go back to the real world until I want you
to entertain me again.

I don’t care that you think BP executives deserve the death penalty.
I don’t care what you think about the environment. I don’t care if you
believe fracking is bad. I don’t care if you call for more gun control. I
don’t care if you believe in catastrophic human-induced global
warming.

And I could care less that you supported Hillary for President. Get back into your bubble.
I’ll let you know when I’m in the mood for something pretty or scary or funny.

And one other thing.
What was all this “I’ll leave the country if Donald Trump wins”?
Don’t you know how stupid that made you sound?
What did you think my reaction was going to be? i better not vote for Trump or we’ll lose Whoopi Goldberg? Al Sharpton? Amy Schumer?
Leave. I don’t care! And don’t let the door hit you in
the ass on your way out.

Make me laugh. Make me cry. Even scare me.
But realize this, the only words of yours that matter are scripted
just like your pathetic little lives.

I may agree with some of you from time to time, but in the final analysis, it doesn’t matter. In my world, you exist solely for my entertainment.

So, shut your mouth and dance, monkey, DANCE!”

Since Hollywood is so gung-ho to ignore federal laws, I have chosen to ignore all laws pertaining to copyright material produced by spoiled traitorous entertainers.
I just watched ARRIVAL...FOR FREE! ;) Good movie when one considers I didn’t pay a dime and got a magnificent copy online thanks to my beloved android. I also download ALL of my music for free as well.
Hit them where it hurts, in the pocketbook while proudly announcing that this is the law I am choosing to violate since the lefties have their own illegal causes.

Any problems with that Ms. Streep and Company???

I can predict how Hollywood will feel about any non DNC politician born in the years 2050 and in office in 2080.

Easy.
