Hell freezes over in Hollywood: Adam Schiff tells Trump ‘let’s work together’

September 1, 2026 | | Print Article

Senator Adam Schiff, D-California, has found himself in “strong agreement” with President Donald Trump.

No need to check the sky for flying pigs, Schiff is readily admitting his support for Trump’s plan to establish a production initiative that would benefit the film industry. Following a meeting with Special Ambassador to Hollywood Jon Voight, Trump demanded both parties work together to put together a plan that would prevent any more jobs from being moved overseas. He posted about the issue on Truth Social Monday evening.

Look:

“I just had a GREAT and very interesting meeting with my Hollywood Ambassador and Movie Legend, Jon Voight! He is a fantastic man who loves our Country, and feels strongly about the Motion Picture and Television Industry. He hates what’s happened to it! It is being dissipated in its entirety. It has moved to Canada, and other Countries, with very little work being done anymore in the United States. Hollywood is a Complete and Total Disaster!” Trump declared. “Despite the name, it is getting very little work. 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. Meetings are being set up with the Leaders of both Parties in order to get this done. It should be Bipartisan, especially since so much money is being lost in California, and other largely Blue States. I am going to suggest that Republicans and Democrats get together, and immediately craft Legislation to save the Movie, Television, and Entertainment Business in America. Congress should approve, immediately, a Federal Production Incentive to create Entertainment Jobs in America. It can be done quickly, accurately, efficiently and, importantly, will benefit ALL of America. What we watch on the Silver Screen should be made in what was once the Movie and Motion Picture Capital of the World. Let’s get this done!” he added.

This drew immediate support from Schiff, who shared the president’s post on X.

Look:

“I am in strong agreement with the President. Congress should immediately take up and pass a federal film tax incentive to bring back these good-paying jobs that we’ve lost to other countries. Let’s work together — Republicans and Democrats — to get this done, and bring the movie magic back to America,” the senator wrote.

In a follow-up post Tuesday morning, Trump indicated that the Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act is receiving “great bipartisan response and support in congress.”

“Great bipartisan response and support in Congress for the Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act. We will bring this once great industry BACK TO AMERICA. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” he cheered.

X users weighed in on the surprising reaction:
