In a twist no one saw coming, President Donald Trump is reportedly leaning on Paramount Studios to green-light a fourth installment of his beloved Rush Hour franchise — a move insiders say reveals his growing determination to reshape American culture in his own image. According to a Semafor report, Trump “personally pressed” Oracle chairman Larry Ellison, one of his wealthiest and most loyal donors, to push the studio into reviving the blockbuster buddy-cop series. For a president who claims to have solved global conflicts from the Middle East to Ukraine, turning his attention to action-comedy nostalgia marks yet another eyebrow-raising chapter in his unconventional leadership.
Sources say Trump is hungry for a cinematic return to the “glory days” of male-driven, explosion-heavy, joke-stacked action films — the kind that dominated the 80s and 90s. Rush Hour 4 fits his vision perfectly, promising car chases, fistfights, and humour that critics long labelled outdated and politically incorrect. The original trilogy, led by Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan between 1998 and 2007, was known for its chaotic charm, racial stereotype-laden comedy, and over-the-top action, ingredients that Trump reportedly wants more of in America’s entertainment diet.
If Trump gets his way, Hollywood could soon be reviving one of its most controversial franchises at the direct urging of the President of the United States. But is this bold interference a harmless passion project — or a new attempt to mould culture to match his personal taste? Visit www.jocomms.com for more news.
