Spencer Pratt touts Hollywood revival plan after private dinner with Donald Trump

Reality star Spencer Pratt said he is working to bring film production back to the United States after a closed-door dinner with Donald Trump.

Spencer Pratt attended a confidential RNC-hosted dinner where he lauded Donald Trump’s commitment to reviving American film production. Pratt claimed that California leaders are outsourcing jobs to Hungary and targeting local studios, and he positioned himself as a defender of the “quintessential American industry.” He expressed gratitude for Trump’s generosity and said the president is eager to keep foreign markets like Canada, the United Kingdom and Budapest from “stealing our lunch.”

After the dinner, Pratt posted a clip of Trump stepping onto a golf course after a short helicopter ride from LAX, captioning it “Power.” The gathering came after Pratt’s private Oval Office meeting the previous month, during which he was allowed to bring his son. The event was framed as a fundraising effort for the Republican Party.

Why it matters

The meeting highlights a high-profile attempt to link political support with efforts to keep film jobs in the U.S.
