This is of course, trivial.
It should not be news, at all — but Tangerine 2.0 has indicated, in off-the-cuff remarks, that he may sign an executive order, requiring all US public middle school kids to view it. [Hmmm. That doesn’t smell at all like… the Hitler Youth, does it?!]
In any event (regardless of whether he follows through with that Putin-esque move), here’s a bit from the Non Kool-Aid-drinking media:
. . .A WIRED analysis on Jan. 29 found that Melania Trump’s documentary, released on Jan. 30, filled theaters in just two locations: AMC Classic Indian River 24 in Vero Beach, Florida, and AMC Independence Commons 20 in Independence, Missouri….
Melania opened in an estimated 1,500 to 2,000 theaters nationwide. Throughout the week, social media was flooded with screenshots of poor pre-sales and empty theaters. In Minnesota, the Mann Plymouth Grand 15 theater cancelled screenings altogether. The state is currently facing a widespread immigration crackdown; two residents of Minneapolis, Alex Pretti and Reneé Good, were killed in separate shootings by federal agents.
On the same day as Pretti was shot, Melania was privately screened for a select audience at the White House….
Tone deaf. And — I love that most theaters have pulled it altogether. Due to zero ticket sales. Hilarious. [I promise to offer something more… worthy, over the weekend. Smile.]
