'Melania': So lush, so rich, so Trump . . .

Posted by Billy Wonka on February 5, 2026 at 15:36:34:
I had no idea what to expect. I was thinking this will be more like Dinesh D'Souza explaining and praising the FLOTUS. But when the Rolling Stones opened up the soundtrack, followed by "Billie Jean," I knew this was not going to be a Dinesh-style docudrama.
'Melania' offers a more intimate look at the small things in her world: Palm Beach, New York City, and Washington, D.C. The luxury stays in the background and you see the staff that buzzes around the Queen Bee and wonder how much that must cost-couture, assistants, stylists, event planners, etc. The direction and editing of this film were excellent. This was not a raw-looking piece of work and the film/video capture was always well-framed and moved fluidly with the action.
There were giggles, also. Early on, Melania takes a phone call from her husband, who starts to bloviate about what he did during his day. I found myself chuckling along with EVERYONE else in the theater. (The audience seems to understand her husband.) Later, her husband was making a comment after his oath of office and mentioned he had to go make the country great again. Two seats down a feminine voice said, "I just love him." Wow. Right after that, the camera followed the couple walking through the capitol to "The Thieving Magpie". I wonder who chose that piece? Was there an enemy in the ranks?
This film is a love letter to the Trump couple as well as their supporters. It seems to elevate both.
If Leni Riefenstahl was alive today, her name would be somewhere in the credits.
