When President Donald Trump<\/span> visited Beijing last week for a high-stakes summit to discuss the war in Iran, Taiwan, and other complex geopolitical issues involving the world\u2019s two biggest superpowers, an unlikely project occupied the president\u2019s mind: Rush Hour 4<\/em>.<\/p>

Yes, a pending fourth installment of the buddy-cop franchise, which peaked in popularity more than a quarter century ago with Rush Hour<\/em>, was a top priority for Trump, who brought the disgraced filmmaker Brett Ratner as a part of the official US delegation to China to scout locations for the film. (Ratner, of course, is the same director behind Melania<\/em>.) For months, reviving Rush Hour<\/em> has been something of an obsession for Trump, who reportedly adores the series. So much so, that MarketWatch reports the president has acted as a \u201cshadow executive producer\u201d for the movie, going as far as to pressure Larry Ellison, Paramount\u2019s biggest shareholder, to support a fourth film with Ratner in the director\u2019s seat. It worked, and Ratner now hitches rides on Air Force One.<\/p>\n

But set aside, for a moment, the enormous potential for conflicts of interest and generally inappropriate behavior on behalf of a president, and a simple question emerges: Rush Hour 4<\/em>? Who, aside from Donald Trump\u2026wants this? Because the enthusiasm with which Trump is personally pushing for the film could give the impression that there\u2019s a clamoring for more Rush Hour<\/em>, when, objectively, none exists. <\/p>

A similar chasm can be found in reported conversations taking place between Paramount and Katie Miller to expand her eponymous podcast, which, over the last nine months, has billed itself as a place for \u201cconservative women to gather online.\u201d As she explained in a launch, \u201cAs a mom of three young kids, who eats healthy, goes to the gym, works full-time, I know there isn\u2019t a podcast for women like myself.\u201d Yet despite the show\u2019s ability to pull in high-profile guests, including Elon Musk, JD Vance, and Mike Johnson, \u201cThe Katie Miller Podcast\u201d struggles to attract listeners; the interviews themselves rarely make headlines. Some episodes fail to crack even 5,000 views on YouTube.<\/p>\n

Backing illogical projects with zero audience interest could be a small price to pay as Paramount\u2019s bid to take over Warner Bros. awaits approval from the Trump administration. Doing so fits neatly into the many moves Paramount has made to curry favor these days: creating an ombudsman to ensure a \u201cdiversity of viewpoints,\u201d paying $16 million to settle Trump\u2019s lawsuit against CBS over a 60 Minutes<\/em> segment he didn\u2019t like, etc. But plans to extend a dead franchise or prop up Miller as a serious talking head appear to signal MAGA\u2019s further descent into its \u201ccringe era,\u201d where quality is nonexistent, and barely anyone is watching anymore. And if they are, they are wincing. <\/p>
