Trump's White House ignores ICE slayings in favor of screening a Slovenian nude model's $75 million "documentary"

Trump’s Ex-Lawyer Calls Out Melania’s Screening Amid ICE Chaos
‘DISCONNECTED FROM REALITY’
President Donald Trump’s own former lawyer was uneasy with the first lady’s intimate screening of her upcoming documentary.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/maga-lawyer-jenna-ellis-calls-out-melanias-screening-amid-ice-unrest/

Jenna Ellis, 41, called out first lady Melania Trump for premiering her eponymous documentary on Saturday, mere hours after federal agents shot 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti in Minnesota.

“I have deep respect for the First Lady and have been honored to meet her. But this event should have been postponed,” Ellis wrote in an X post.

“With Minneapolis unraveling and Americans demanding leadership, this feels disconnected from reality,” she went on. “Disturbing echoes of 2020.”

Melania, a $75 million Amazon documentary about the 20 days leading up to President Donald Trump’s second inauguration, was screened privately for the first time at the White House on Saturday night.

She hasn’t done anything so there would be no story to tell unless it’s all made up.

Who, we must assume, is smart enough to know this will be a huge loss. Indeed, a Jan 30th release date basically screams they know it won't make money as it is the cinematic artic time.

I hope it bombs BIGLY. Gawd, what a bland, uninteresting person she is.

She's just started her sixth year as first lady, and she can't name a single significant accomplishment.

It's like the time Kayleigh Whackadoodle whipped out that ginormous binder full of blank pages for her interview with Leslie Stahl, claiming it was Trump's Big Beautiful Healthcare Plan.

She drops f-bombs about Christmas while selling $150 Christmas ornaments on her website.

And after all of it, the only things someone outside of the cult might find "interesting" are her connection with Epstein, and the actual content of her pre-nup with Trump. I'm guessing it's a doozy.
