Melania Trump launches trailer for 'MELANIA': Netizens mock it as 'fake Hollywood blockbuster'
Back in the day, she was a model, now, she is an actress and a producer. The first lady of the United States of America, Melania Trump just launched the trailer of her film 'MELANIA' and the world can't keep calm!
“Hi, Mr. President, congratulations,” Melania Trump says on the phone, speaking from a golden bathroom in the trailer. “Did you watch it?” Donald Trump asks on the other end of the call. “I did not, I will see it on the news,” she replies. The trailer invites the audience to “Witness History in the Making,” following Melania as she has “20 Days to Become First Lady of the United States of America.”
Post its theatrical run, the film will stream on Prime Video, for which Amazon reportedly paid a whopping $40 million.
Thus, the netizens were less than impressed with her trailer move. "This will go down in history as one of the scariest horror movies of all time," wrote a person on X.
"A "real" bwhahahaha A "fake" Hollywood blockbuster like she's running the country behind the scenes. I guess Trump taking naps left a lot of work for someone!," added another.
"I wouldn't pay a plugged nickel to view the 'Melania' movie in theatres and don't intend to watch it through streaming following its flop at the box office," claimed one.
"Even with the best editors in Hollywood, they still couldn’t make her speak in English" mocked an X user.
"Oh cool, I didn't realize they were making a Blair Witch Project sequel" trolled another.
With Americans facing numerous issues politically, economically and personally, the idea of hitting the theatres to watch the movie of a first lady who hasn't really made the effort to connect with her people, seems like a bonehead play.

Well, no matter the grandiose that the first lady would want to surround herself with, the American citizens are not much impressed by her theatrics, literally. Apart from some optics, Melania has not done much as the first lady and the expectations from her during the second term were high.Thus, the netizens were less than impressed with her trailer move. "This will go down in history as one of the scariest horror movies of all time," wrote a person on X.
