Trump Backs Federal Film & TV Tax Incentive: “Hollywood Is A Complete & Total Disaster!”

With a swipe at Hollywood North, Donald Trump today officially threw his support behind a federal film and TV tax credit.

“Hollywood is a Complete and Total Disaster!” the former Apprentice host posted Monday after a sit-down with good pal Jon Voight.

“Despite the name, it is getting very little work,” Trump added of the admittedly declining industry that has lost tens of thousands of jobs and production after production to more lucrative locations around the world, including Canada. “There is no incentive to be there, and it is hurting California very badly. Jon, and many others in the Industry, are suggesting we do Federal Tax Incentives in order to Make our Movie and Television Production Business GREAT AGAIN, perhaps GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE! The amount of money spent on Tax Incentives will be made up tenfold by the money pouring into the Treasury’s coffers.”
