Meat on the Bone... or Just Empty Plates?

OI! Luffy here reporting LIVE from… well my ship! Nami's been yellin' about money again and Zoro's snoring louder than usual. Apparently some big shot named Trump wants to charge a HUGE toll on movies made outside the country. 100%? SHISHISHI! That's like saying I can only have ONE piece of meat! Unacceptable! I need my meat! And everyone needs their movies right?

Rubber Stocks Go *Bouncier* Than Me!

So these movie places – Netflix Disney the whole lot – their stocks went all wobbly like Usopp when he sees a ghost! Down 4% 3% even 5%! I don't know what 'stocks' are exactly but it sounds important. Sanji says it's like running out of ingredients for a good meal – a total disaster! But then they bounced back! Like Gear Fourth but less…sticky.

National Security... From MOVIES?

Trump says these tax breaks other countries give to movie makers are a “national security threat!” SHISHISHI! That's like saying Usopp's lies are a threat to world peace! I mean I guess they CAN be pretty elaborate… But a movie threat? What’s he afraid of that people will start acting like Zoro and get lost all the time? Or that everyone will want to be the Pirate King? Wait…

Foreign Lands and Funny Money!

These Hollywood folks they like filming in other countries to save money or because the place looks cool. Like how I want to find the One Piece! It's out there somewhere probably in a really awesome location! But now this Trump guy wants them to pay a HUGE tax for doing that. Sounds like a pain in the neck! Like when Nami makes me pay for all the meat I eat!

Lobbying? Sounds Like More Waiting For Food!

Some smart person Alicia thinks these movie studios will have to “lobby” Trump. Sounds boring! Is that like waiting for Sanji to finish cooking? Because I HATE waiting for food! She also says a lot of Netflix movies are made overseas. So does this mean less Netflix? Less fun for everyone? NOT ON MY WATCH! (Unless Sanji's making something REALLY good.)

China's Closed Doors and the Future of Entertainment!

And get this! China already said “NO!” to Hollywood movies. That's like saying NO to meat! NO to adventure! NO to… well you get the idea. If other countries do the same then where will everyone watch awesome movies? We gotta find a way to keep the films flowing even if it means… SHISHISHI! …negotiating with Trump! Maybe I can offer him some really good meat!
