"Melania Tr*mp's loser vanity project might have a suspicious 99% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but something tells us it's not going to stay fresh for too long. Though Rotten Tomatoes confirmed with Variety that the scores are all 100% real and not fake at all, the film's actual box office performance offers a stark contrast to what the Tr*mp propaganda machine is trying to make us believe."
"As reported by the Guardian, despite an allegedly strong opening week, box office sales have plummetted a stunning 67% in the film's second week. Which could mean anything! But what's more realistic: a movie about a silent, uninteresting, despised first lady directed by an Epstein associate and verified s*x pest doing Iron Man numbers during a notorious dump month-or foul play?"
"While Rotten Tomatoes swears up and down that there's been no tampering with that 99% score, it's possible that they're underestimating the lengths to which Tr*mp & co. will go to manufacture a hit from a flop. "Reviews displayed on the Popcornmeter are VERIFIED reviews," Rotten Tomatoes' parent company assured Variety, "meaning that it has been verified that users have bought a ticket to the film through Fandango." Okay but... have you ever heard of bulk ticket sales?"
Melania Tr*mp's documentary carries a 99% Rotten Tomatoes rating while box office receipts plunged 67% in the second week. Rotten Tomatoes' parent company says Popcornmeter reviews are verified by Fandango ticket purchases. Observers point to potential bulk ticket purchases, mass emails allegedly from Paula White-Cain urging followers to buy tickets, and Craigslist offers paying viewers to attend. The film's association with a controversial director and low audience interest contrast with the high score, raising questions about manufactured support. Online speculation and rapid attendance declines suggest the score may not reflect sustained, organic audience enthusiasm.
