  • MAMGA: Make American Movies Great Again. It might not roll off the tongue as easily as MAGA, but filmmaker Justine Bateman is calling on President Trump to help make it happen. Her proposal: Take a slice of the money the president and Elon Musk are cutting from the federal bureaucracy via the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and use it to finance a handful of feature films each year.

Justine Bateman, an actress and filmmaker, has proposed that Donald Trump and Elon Musk, who have both been associated with Dogecoin, should use $100 million of their cryptocurrency earnings to establish an American Film Fund.
