Melania Trump Documentary Has Become Online LOL Meme with Fake Reviews, Defaced Posters, and Few Advanced Ticket Sales

Like everyone, we’re waiting for “Melania,” the Melania Trump documentary set for release on January 30th.

On the 29th, Brett Ratner’s $40 million infomercial will premiere at the Kennedy Center in from of Trump loyalists.

But meantime, “Melania” has become a very funny online meme. There are pictures of defaced posters in bus shelters all over the place.

At the same time, advanced ticket sales are minimal to non existent. In New York, no surprise, there are one or two seats taken in some theaters, none in most of them.


But in Palm Beach, Florida, ground zero for Trump, the same story exists.

Amazon/MGM is releasing the movie, and in all likelihood they will not report box office numbers. But taking a look to theaters in key cities should make spitballing the numbers pretty easy.

1. She exemplifies "I don't care" and "Let them eat cake".

I don't know why anyone would want to watch a movie about her grift.

[maxsolomon]

46. My daughter and her best friend are planning to hate-watch it.

and offset the ticket price with donations to Trans-supporting orgs.

I cannot imagine how you fill up 2 hours with a cipher who has no discernable personality or vocation.

[MustLoveBeagles]

48. I was going to do that, but decided to wait till it's streaming

I don't think I'll have long to wait.

[maxsolomon]

49. On Amazon by the end of the February.

If not before the Superb Owl.

[Traildogbob]

55. There should be

A showing with all the late night guys sitting in Front of the screen like Mystery Science Theater, critiquing the “Hole”, no Dubya Donny, damn shit show. I would pay to see that. Somebody make it happen. Maybe on Donny’s BDay to watch instead of White House Wresslin Match.

[Tadpole Raisin]

2. Maybe like all their books, the Traitor will get the

RNC to buy all the tickets and claim it was sold out and no MSM will question it - they certainly won’t use the word ‘lie.’

As he has said himself he is very good using OPM - other people’s money.

[wcmagumba]

3. This film might be a Slovenian brain fart...

Just sayin...

[get the red out]

4. The grift was successful

The pretext for it is obviously not.

[tanyev]

5. Zilch Nada Melania.

[LakeVermilion]

6. Now Krasnov will whine about the Oscars.

No doubt, he will want one for this product.

[newdeal2]

15. In his demented mind, he will say he actually won best supporting actor

For his brief cameos in this flop.

[EdmondDantes_]

60. Does being a supporting actor qualify for committing sexual assault?

Because we know it's important to Trump that he be allowed to grope women without their consent.

[3catwoman3]

23. No doubt. If there were a category for...

...Biggest Load Of Bullshit From A Malignant Narcissist POS, he could legitimately win one.

[rubbersole]

36. She might win a category for "Phony Foreign Former Sex Worker in a Grifting Role".

[sop]

7. 'Citizen Trump'

Charles Foster Kane forced his talentless wife Susan into a humiliating career as an opera singer, built a large opera house so she could perform, then fired the reviewer who wrote about her disastrous debut.

[dalton99a]

8. +1

[Buns_of_Fire]

45. The first thing I thought of was the scene of Kane seriously clapping as if

he could, by force of will, get the rest of the audience to join in.

[edhopper]

9. $40 million from Bezos to Trump

it was made to fail. See The Producers.

[sop]

11. A bribe by any other name.

[dalton99a]

10. "Melania the Slovenian sex worker, fully clothed"

[Goonch]

12. ;-{)

[dalton99a]

13. +1

[Tadpole Raisin]

16. You win the thread!!

[3catwoman3]

24. Is she sitting down because she can't walk in those ridiculous 6 inch stilettos?

[pandr32]

43. Why the rose garden got paved over.

Ladies' heels.
Of course, many ladies wear appropriate footwear.

[Rebl2]

27. No thanks

Looks horrid

[calimary]

54. Balonia fits her better.

[Deuxcents]

14. Lots of preview ads for this on tv..😡

[newdeal2]

17. That's part of Bezos payoff

It will stop once the movie premiers and flops and they move on to the next grift.

[Kid Berwyn]

18. This was supposed to be the feel-good event of the Pedo Season.

Celebrities, F-listers, losers all dressed up and looking vapider than normal.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

19. Who is surprised by this?

[kwolf68]

20. The least interesting first lady in American history

The fact she married a scumbag like Trump says enough about her already.

[Vinca]

21. Guess they should have thrown in some of her X-rated past.

[Clouds Passing]

22. This wil garner a massive thumbs down event

[3catwoman3]

25. You could not pay me to sit thru this dreck.

[MustLoveBeagles]

26. I've thought about going to the theater to hate watch it

I decided I could wait and do it at home. I wouldn't be able to eat and drink before, during, and after.

[rubbersole]

38. Check outtakes on PornHub...

[MustLoveBeagles]

42. Lol

[3catwoman3]

63. Aren't you afraid it will ruin your appetite?

[MustLoveBeagles]

66. Yes

I'm willing to take one for the team

[ihaveaquestion]

28. I'm surprised it will actually be in an actual theater. nt

[Pacifist Patriot]

29. I'm scheduled for surgery on 01/30. Oh darn, guess I can't see it.

I'm sure I'll have a much better time than I would if I was forced to watch that dreck.

[mwmisses4289]

50. Hope your surgery and post surgery healing go well.

I will be working, then scheduled to watch glue dry on cards I plan make that night. Or I might watch "kpop demon hunters" instead.

[Pacifist Patriot]

59. Thank you! Ha ha! Go with the latter.

[Ilsa]

56. Darn you, for taking that last surgery slot!

I won't have an excuse now for ignoring her.

Seriously, though, as someone who has been through multiple surgeries, I don't envy you, and I wish you no pain and a quick recovery.

[Pacifist Patriot]

58. Thank you! Sadly, this isn't my first surgical rodeo ...

though it is the first of its kind. I have had so many hand and feet operations I can no longer remember how many I've had. This is to remove a cyst in my face. Entirely new territory!!! But no bone work, so I'm assuming the pain and recovery time is much shorter.

[Ilsa]

68. Thank goodness! I hate bone surgery.

Way too painful.

[Norrrm]

30. Coming soon to a Blockbuster near you.

[Puppyjive]

31. Pretty Woman

Prostitute saved by a mob boss

[Ray Bruns]

32. The only way to see this movie

[Submariner]

33. Rumor is she brought Ron Jeremy out of retirement

for her love scenes.

out of the movie goers will likely be noticeable as middle aged maga men with raincoats on their laps.

[PuraVidaDreamin]

34. Guess he's going to need to phone up a whole lot of 'his friends'

"You know, it would be a shame if you didn't show up to Melania's opening"

Bad things might happen.

[dem4decades]

35. Is FIFA going to give her a fake Oscar for this?

[AverageOldGuy]

37. I really wanted to read the original article

But could not get past the goddam ads.

Is there anyone here who has ever purchased anything from a pop-up ad? We have not, not ever.

[Enter stage left]

39. I heard TSF is going to release the movie on VHS...

Just think about all the money he will make!

[Hugin]

44. Super Eight with a companion cassette for the soundtrack...

Or vinyl for an extra fee.

[underpants]

40. Not surprised, it's just another lazy Hollywood reboot. We've seen this before.

[Totally Tunsie]

51. He: "What's your name?"

She: "What do you want it to be?"

[Xavier Breath]

41. "A young sex-worker's strange, erotic journey from Milan to Minsk."

[Blue Owl]

53. LOL -- or "Minsk to Mar a Lago"

Milan is far too classy for that trollop

[SamKnause]

47. She has already been paid and that is all she and her family care about !!!

Grifters and thieves.

[Attilatheblond]

52. Tightwad Trump is gonna be pissed when sales don't make her stop asking for more $$ for appearances & silence

[Oneironaut]

57. Sorry, but, Melania Trumps life is boring.

- Born to generally working class family
- Became a model and had the means to travel throughout Europe
- Didn’t even finish college and dropped out as a freshman, later lied about having a degree and got called out for it
- Married Trump
- Has done absolutely nothing since - even as First Lady

I can think of 7 billion people who have a more interesting backstory. Hence why this documentary is generally seen as just a suck up move rather than a legitimate effort.

[Johonny]

61. Go woke, go broke?

That's what the right always says when a movie bombs, so I guess the first Lady is too woke for audiences. No other conclusion can I reach 😀

[kimbutgar]

62. The only way I can watch it is with MS Piggy's head replaced with Melanie's head on the preview!

[Ritabert]

64. I'l'll go if they give me my DOGE check and it clears.

[struggle4progress]

65. "See Melania's documentary or we'll shoot you in the face"

[11 Bravo]

67. I was planning on attending, but then an opportunity arose to ...

watch a syphilitic wombat suffering from projectile vomiting and explosive diarrhea empty its guts, so ...

[BigDemVoter]

69. Is it a porno film?

I HONESTLY cannot imagine it being anything else…. “Melania Does DC”!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

70. The reviews are in
