"Last week, Melania Tr*mp did her best to make her Melania documentary happen... to no avail. While the film boasted suspiciously a suspiciously high Rotten Tomatoes score on its second week, a quick search revealed that most of the verified reviews on the page were mostly from users who logged on to write glowing words about the Brett Ratner documentary without using the platform before or since."
"I guess that's what happens when you reportedly urge everyone to buy tickets in bulk and hand them out to random strangers just to get asses in seats! Even the pressuring of White House spiritual advisor Paula Cain-White for her supporters to show their love for the First Lady by snatching up those group tickets seems to have fallen flat. Maybe because love for the First Lady is just about as nonexistent as Melania's love for her constituents?"
"But Melania 's box office prolapse is just one part of the equation that's giving the most hated couple in America a case of diaper rash this week. Not to be outdone by his wife's floptastic box office numbers, Tr*mp's own approval rating is going swiftly down the toilet after so many Epstein files revelations that appear to place him near the center of the action."
Melania Tr*mp's documentary experienced a sharp decline in ticket sales and faces a 62% drop that makes recouping a $75 million budget unlikely. Rotten Tomatoes showed an unusually high early score, but many verified reviews came from accounts that only posted glowing remarks and did not use the platform otherwise. Reported tactics to inflate attendance included urging bulk purchases, handing out tickets to strangers, and pressuring White House spiritual advisor Paula Cain-White to mobilize supporters. Simultaneously, Tr*mp's approval rating sits near 41% in recent polling, and public backlash over ICE actions is widening political divisions.
