Trump’s attempt to reestablish Hollywood as the locus of moviemaking has been met with bafflement and ridicule

Orson Welles : President Trump 's offer of a helping hand to flailing and failing studios in Hollywood must be considered just that.

Trump ’s valiant attempt to reestablish Southern California as the locus of moviemaking has been met with expressions of bafflement and ridicule among many of those the policy is intended to benefit.

Bob Greene : Trump 's pro- Hollywood argument is nothing more than a MAGA-tinged restatement of Martin Scorsese's assertion that the legacy of the American film is a constant well.

Greene: Not only do Hollywood workers need more (and better) movies made in Hollywood —so do we, the audience. In this instance, Trump 's only crime is to wish to rekindle one of America 's proudest cultural.
