Former President Donald Trump has officially declared his support for a federal film and television tax incentive, a move that could significantly impact the industry. Trump, who previously hosted "The Apprentice," criticized Hollywood, calling it a "Complete and Total Disaster!" and noting it was receiving "very little work."
This endorsement comes as the proposed bill already enjoys bipartisan backing, with Republican lawmakers reportedly awaiting Trump's stance. His public support is seen as a crucial step towards the bill's potential passage, aiming to bolster domestic film and TV production.
