"The one-minute trailer, released on Wednesday, opens with Melania telling the camera (wearing that insane giant hat), "Here we go again," before walking out for her husband's second inauguration. The rest is essentially a montage of her doing one thing: wearing black sunglasses. She wears them in an elevator, on a private jet, strutting across a tarmac, and hurriedly walking down a back hall."
"So the question today is: Why is Amazon releasing a documentary about Melania directed by Brett Ratner-yes, that Brett Ratner? Is Jeff Bezos trying to outbid Netflix for Warner Bros? Does the administration hope Melania will give Republicans a bump in the midterms? Is she just so over her husband that she wanted an official recording of her disdain? Whatever the answer, it seems like Melania is, once again, lending herself as a glossy, high-fashion sheen to try and glamourwash all the administration's atrocities."
Amazon released a one-minute documentary trailer focusing on Melania Trump, directed by Brett Ratner. The trailer opens with Melania in a huge hat saying "Here we go again" and then shows a montage of her repeatedly wearing black sunglasses in elevators, jets, on tarmacs, in gilded mirrors, and walking hurriedly down back halls. The imagery emphasizes high-fashion gloss, including a zoomed-in stilettoed boot and Villanelle-like styling. Observers question motives—whether Jeff Bezos, political strategy for Republicans, or Melania's own position drove the project. The presentation functions as a glamourwashing of a complicit First Lady amid ongoing administration controversies.
