The White House is pulling out all the stops to try to salvage Melania Trump’s documentary, which is widely predicted to bomb when it opens next weekend.

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 Jan. 30 release.

That is despite the studio spending an additional $35 million on marketing and opening the release to 27 different countries.

To help promote the movie, the first lady will ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday, ahead of the documentary’s release on Friday.

The first lady’s office announced on X that the documentary will focus on “an impactful first year of leadership as FLOTUS during the second term of the Trump Administration.”

The ringing of the bell is a long-standing tradition at the stock exchange, dating back to the late 19th century. While the stock exchange describes it as “critical to the orderly functioning of the marketplace,” many nowadays use it as a high-profile advertising tool, with celebrities or companies ringing the bell to celebrate new projects or IPOs.

Promotion for Melania’s movie also included posters for the movie that surfaced at Trump’s controversial Davos speaking engagements this week. The Washington Post reported that the U.S. delegation’s flight to Europe was filled to the brim with promotional material, including the Melania posters to prop up the movie’s advertising campaign to global elites.

The film, aptly titled Melania, follows the president’s wife for just 20 days leading up to the start of Trump’s second presidency last January. No one knows anything about the film beyond that tidbit, as Amazon has refused to allow critics to view the movie before its hyped headlining premiere at the Kennedy Center (which the president has attempted to rename the Trump-Kennedy Center, despite such a move needing congressional approval).

Trump himself has taken to X to galvanize attendance from his devoted fan base. His X post, interestingly, doesn’t mention Melania at all but sparks intrigue for a behind-the-scenes “look at one of the most important events of our time.”

The Daily Beast previously reported that, unlike most first ladies who reside in the White House, she lives at Mar-a-Lago in Florida rather than with Trump.

 

It hasn’t occurred to y’all they are trying to numb us. If you’re smart, you wouldn’t trust anything out of Twitter. That’s why he bought — that’s its true worth.
You mean the Melania memecoins they'll get?

Dababy probably paying back his pardon in servitude to whitey.
im talking about the direct deposit that just yesterday. I’m talking about the money I got and went to the supermarket and later bar. The money you’ve earned is designed not to be worth anything and you know how much I love Invisible Man, it won’t hit you until you’re out on the street with all your shit in the street.

If I was in power, I would give every American who saw this wonderful film $1299 credit on their taxes.
 


Seven dudes vs one little dude and they had to pop him...coward shit.

They're just out cosplaying their cop fantasies.

That dude knew he was fighting for his life.

That's why they couldn't hold him down. Because he had more to fight for, and they don't know what they're doing. Any excessive force should have been unnecessary with that much manpower on your side, but there's no damn way they needed to shoot him.
 
I'm ready to see the vid from the woman in pink.
And also another thing: there's no way they should be using deadly force with bystanders around and that close. I know they're going say something like, "They put themselves in that position...", but unless the victim had a gun and was somehow trying to fire it, they overreacted.

Hell, even if he was armed, they still should have been able to stop him without gunfire.

Living in America forces all of us to be lawyers and judges with dreams of joining the other Supreme Court justices on the high bench. We rather do all of that instead of grabbing a gun and doing the right thing.

Man, fuck those people.
