A SHOCKING $40 MILLION TRIBUTE to a disgraced former President’s wife has DROPPED, funded by a tech giant and directed by a MeToo-tainted filmmaker—and it’s a chilling sign of HOW FAR we’ve fallen. The film “Melania” is not just a flop; it’s a SICKENING $80 million monument to propaganda, paid for by AMAZON in what critics are calling a naked payoff to a CORRUPT REGIME. Forget democracy: the real crisis is our CULTURAL SURRENDER to this slick, soul-crushing vanity project posing as a documentary.

INSIDE a near-empty theater, pro-Trump applause mingled with disgusted jeers, revealing a nation SPLIT by design. The film’s true horror isn’t its MAGA politics, but its INSIDIOUSLY BLAND packaging—a glossy celebrity doc aimed at whitewashing a figure whose public legacy is GOTH CHRISTMAS TREES and a baffling anti-bullying campaign NO ONE REMEMBERS. This is psychological warfare wrapped in beige: a desperate attempt to REPACKAGE a famously opaque First Lady as a relatable star, funded by a corporation now openly FUNDING the Trump era’s mythology.

Melania’s wooden narration offers NOTHING—empty platitudes about “timeless elegance” and Michael Jackson fandom while America BURNS. The film’s director, accused predator Brett Ratner, is heard BEGGING her to sing “Billie Jean” in a moment of pure, desperate cringe. A scene of her lighting a candle for her dead mother feels like a LUXURY CAR COMMERCIAL. This is not a portrait; it’s a $80 million taxidermy job, proving you can BUY legitimacy if the price is right and the public’s standards are shattered.

The VERTIGO sets in when Melania robotically intones about protecting “individual rights” while her husband’s administration systematically dismantles them. But the audience doesn’t care. They’re not here for her. They come for Trump’s sporadic, energy-sucking appearances—the only scenes with a pulse in this corporate-funded COMA. The film’s only true fan? Trump himself, who’s reportedly seen it TWICE. This isn’t entertainment; it’s a LOYALTY TEST, and America is FAILING it by the box office hour.

We created the monster that birthed this film: a culture OBSESSED with access, no matter how fake, and celebrity, no matter how hollow. Amazon’s $80 million gamble isn’t on art—it’s on our COLLECTIVE AMNESIA and our willingness to ACCEPT propaganda as content. The horrifying truth isn’t on the screen; it’s in the empty seats, where a democracy once sat. Wake up. This is how a republic ends—not with a bang, but with a $40 million CHECK and a standing ovation for NOTHING.
