Check out "Melania" on Rotten Tomatoes!

Critics give it 11% and audiences give it 99%.

Clearly the only people who saw it besides movies critics were MAGA fans. Of course, there were some who were paid $50 to watch it.

From one critic:

I have no idea why she was okay with this movie being released, because Brett Ratner couldn’t find the humanity in a funeral.

Melania is at 6% on Rotten Tomatoes and the only reason it is that high is one critic's 3/5 review. LetMyPeopleVote Jan 31 #1

to avoid the consequences of their own words.. It's an old trick inneffectual critics use who often lack the courage of their own convictions.

The one is Michael Clark from the Epoch Times which is known as a pro-Trump publication.

This is all so surreal, another day in Trump's America.

but there are only 18 reviews and two of them appear to come from Trump supporting publications. They may have been intentionally trying to skew the results to please Trump.

As for regular audiences, we'll probably never see an accurate percentage as normal people aren't going to subject themselves to almost two hours of Melania.

I used to be somewhat sympathetic to her back in 2016; so many of us were willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, but clearly as you say, she is as bad as he is. It's no accident that they're together.
