What do these people expect? Did they really expect a documentary on a nude model/sex worker gold digger turned First Lady with zero accomplishments other than a few plagiarism scandals to be of interest to people struggling to put food on the table and keep the roof over their heads?
She's a wholly unremarkable person given the massive opportunities she's been afforded to be something special.

#3 Ingratitude is a Cardinal Sin
How about we start taxing the uber-wealthy who have, for the past 40 years, been able to dodge their financial responsibilities that provide them with a country that protects them and their money and their property?
Not to mention the fact that this country has given them, the uber-wealthy, a nation of publicly educated wage-earners who can afford to buy their products/services?
How about that?
Afterall, ingratitude is a Cardinal Sin.

" Amazon's Promotion of 'Melania' Has Critics Questioning"
Only idiots are "questioning".
The rest of us know the obvious reasons why.
$melania got a $28 million bribe, er, licensing fee.

And slaps his hand whenever he reaches for her.
Which could explain all the bruises and discoloration on his hand.
It's my theory. And I'm sticking to it!

Well, Bezos couldn't give a bribe directly to Donald Trump, at least I think that is still illegal, but with this Supreme Court who knows?

Brett Ratner, Director of "Melania":
Rabid Zionist with Israeli citizenship Friends with genocidal psychopath Netanyahu Accused of multiple rapes and sexual assaults of both women and men.
How fitting.

That figures.
Disgusting elites are running Amerikkka.
On Tuesday 5 Nov 2024, 76,535,898 imbeciles voted for this.
Just look at nearby Canada and Mexico whose people voted for candidates with PhDs to lead them.

What Bezos spent on this movie is the equivalent of someone with a net worth of $10K dropping $4 dollars. I don't think Bezos is too concerned about the loss, except how it might be hurting Lumpy and the whores feelings.
