Melania the movie?



TRUMP: Who are you with?

Q: The New York Times

TRUMP: Fake news New York Times. I'm not involved with that. That was done with my wife.
 
Trump turned her black carpet premiere into the presser he wasn’t allowed to have at the cabinet meeting earlier today.
 
Doesn’t matter.

Trump and Melania walk away with $45 mil, and Bezos will make billions in new government contracts.
Yep. $75 mil is peanuts for somebody like Bezos to bribe the Trumps and get favorable treatment for his dealings with the government. And meanwhile he's letting the WaPo just die on the vine. Trump is clearly the ringleader of this epic disaster, but guys like Bezos also share a large part of the blame for enabling and cozying up to him and kissing his ass. Just another sign of the profound corruption that now exists at nearly all levels of American society and is increasingly seen as just the normal way of doing business, if you can afford it, which very few can.

Some sick part of me wants to go see it in the theater just so I can clown the few people that showed up unironically to watch it.
 
The first review is in on Rotten Tomatoes.

It's a 1 out of 5 splat with the full review:


FOSTER’S FILM REVIEWS​

MELANIA (Dir: Brett Ratner) So, what’s the point? How does this superficial, wilfully deceitful reality readjustment serve the sociopathic ascension of Trump’s will (because everything has to)? Watching Melania get fitted for expensive clothes in gaudy rooms, or talk up how extravagantly staged she demands her balls be - and both happen a lot in Brett Ratner’s unrelentingly boring feature doc debut - only strengthen perceptions of her as a chilly, lifeless socialite wannabe. Every one of the 104 long minutes is in the service of grandiose affectation and cruel irony; when her scripted oration contains gems like, “We are all one humanity”, and Ratner cuts to her holding her husband’s hand…I mean, really? But then, the focus pivots from Melania to the pageantry of her husband’s inauguration, and Barron Trump gradually slinks into frame, then into close-up. And I realised then what the point was - Trump is tightening his family business’ grip on the White House beyond his years and before our eyes. MELANIA is not the story of the First Lady of American politics, but the imagining of the first homeland monarch in U.S. history. This is not a film concerned at all with the America of today; it is propaganda that serves the formation of a future non-democracy. ⭐
