Reality television personality Spencer Pratt met with former President Donald Trump to discuss a potential 25% federal film tax credit designed to incentivize the repatriation of Hollywood production. The meeting took place during an RNC fundraising event and private dinner at Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles.
Pratt shared his engagement with Trump on social media, stating that he is "committed to saving Hollywood" and expressed gratitude for Trump's "remarkable generosity and focus on this issue." He characterized Trump as "passionate about revitalizing the entertainment industry" and voiced a desire to prevent productions from moving to international locations.
"While Gavin Newsom’s commissioner is actively outsourcing production jobs to Hungary, and his rogue AG is trying to destroy CA production companies, the adults in the room are actually trying to repatriate the most quintessential American industry," Pratt stated in a social media post. He added that he and Trump "will not let Canada, or the UK or Budapest steal our lunch anymore."
Pratt also praised Trump for his commitment to California's future during the discussion, which covered a range of topics. The fundraising event was described as an ultra-exclusive gathering organized by the Republican National Committee.
