bitchy | Melania Trump’s husband tried to convince people to see her dumb documentary

I’m at the point where I’m just at a loss for words about Donald and Melania Trump’s many grifts and vanity projects. The Trump family is full of the most corrupt, self-dealing, unethical, immoral people in the world. Well, as you likely know, Melania has done a “documentary.” She couldn’t care less about public service or “living in the White House,” but she’ll make a propaganda documentary about how busy she is (?) and her work as campaigning for her demented husband (??). The doc was directed by Leni Riefenstahl Brett Ratner. In recent days, they did a premiere at the Kennedy Center and a screening at the White House.

Donald Trump had barely a word to spare for his wife’s documentary, even as he pushed people to go see it. Melania Trump, 55, held a screening of Amazon’s $75 million documentary, Melania, for family and assorted VIP’s at the White House on Saturday evening. The screening was reportedly the debut viewing of the film in full for the president, 79, who promoted it on social media on Monday.

“MELANIA, the Movie, is a MUST WATCH. Get your tickets today — Selling out, FAST!” Trump wrote about the documentary, which chronicles the 20 days leading up to his 2025 inauguration through the eyes of the first lady.

Though the Trumps are not known for being particularly affectionate in public, the curt post is notable because the president often promotes the books he likes in paragraphs running hundreds of words. Trump, who included an Amazon link to purchase tickets in his post, had a little more to say on the film while speaking to reporters earlier this month.

“I’ve seen pieces of it,” he said. “It’s incredible. I tell you, I think it’s going to do very [well]. She did a book and the book was a big No. 1 bestseller and this is a movie and, uh, it seems to be captivating a lot of people’s attention. It’s, uh, very good.”

But Melania is widely expected to bomb at the box office. The vanity project, for which Jeff Bezos’ Amazon reportedly paid $40 million, is projected to make a measly $5 million on the weekend following its official release on Friday.

Trump previously tried to hype up the film in an X post on Friday that made no mention of Melania, who lives at Mar-a-Lago in Florida rather than with Trump at the White House. “COUNTDOWN: 7 Days until the World will witness an unforgettable, behind-the-scenes, look at one of the most important events of our time,” he wrote.

The film, which will premiere at the Kennedy Center on Thursday evening, was directed by Brett Ratner, who faced sexual misconduct allegations in 2017 and has appeared in the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Saturday’s screening at the White House was attended by guests including Queen Rania of Jordan, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, former boxer Mike Tyson, Zoom CEO Eric Yuan, New York Stock Exchange CEO Lynn Martin, AMD CEO Lisa Su, and Erika Kirk.

That guest list… yikes. I hope Tim Cook enjoyed meeting crazy-eyed black widow Erika Kirk. But yes, those CEOs are sucking up to Trump by attending Melania’s dumb screening. Little do they know that Dementia Don doesn’t really give a sh-t about Mel or any Fauxlanias milling about. And Bezos throwing $40 million at this bullsh-t? All while torching the Washington Post? As I said, corrupt, unethical, self-dealing bullsh-t.
