I wouldn't be surprised at all. The Trumps never EARN anything - they beg, cajole, steal, threaten, or just make up their own prizes. I can picture Trump as head of the Trump-Kennedy Center creating an event to award his wife with some gaudy, fake trophy.

There are many things that the crack whore WON'T DO, for ANY amount of money..........

The question is, who in their right mind would pay money to see this movie? Besides Jeff Bezos, that is.
I have an Amazon Prime membership and I get this movie for free. But I still won't watch it.

Ultrarich in this country complain about an increase in their taxes.

But have no problem spending $40 million dollars on this dud.

Either way, an abomination. The fact that some ugly-ass billionaire like Bezos can "waste" $75 million on this flop while so many people are struggling to keep the heat on and put food on the table for their families is criminal in my mind.

$75 million with marketing cost.

I always heard that as rule of thumb that a movie needs to make three times its production budget, to break even.

Marketing, Theaters' cut, etc.

Maybe they could put together our own DU "Mockumentary" of the Slovenian porn star. I'll bet it would get more views than Bozo's.

https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/01/letterboxd-melania-documentary-amazon-bezos-movie-reviews/



So it was with some solace that I perused the Letterboxd page of Melania, which made for some entertaining reading, as users have pre-swarmed the review section to push the score down and let their voices rip.

Here’s a sample of some of my faves. And yeah, there are so many spicier versions on the page itself, not fit for publication here. I’ll leave that to you to scroll through. These are on the PG-rated end:

I really don’t care, do u? ½ star.
ABOLISH ICE. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES
I would, however, love to see a scene-for-scene reenactment by Laura Benanti.
Death of Cinema 🤝 Death of American Democracy
Lol. No
Nobody asked for this absolute piece of flaming garbage.
I heard all of her lines are taken from a Michelle Obama documentary

Reports are that Melania is none too happy that the events in Minneapolis are eclipsing movie about her.

Is she a narcissist just like her husband?
