A feature-length documentary centered on First Lady Melania Trump is facing early box-office trouble, with multiple theaters across major U.S. cities reporting little to no ticket sales on opening night, despite an aggressive promotional push from President Donald Trump and a wide theatrical rollout. Social media posts and industry tracking data suggest the film, Melania, is struggling to attract audiences even before its nationwide expansion.

    We all know it’s a bribe, that’s a given.

    My question is, why do it this way?

    It’s not like the tax code doesn’t give them multiple paths, so why do it this way?

    My personal take is that Donnie wanted to do something to humiliate Melania. He knew she’d grab the money, but this way he can privately taunt her about her box office ‘success.’

    Thoughts?
