Amazon Prime Will Release a Melania Trump Documentary
New York TimesJAN 3
This documentary is a strategic business decision by Amazon to capitalize on public interest in the enigmatic soon-to-be-again first lady. It also demonstrates Amazon's willingness to engage with conservative audiences after Hollywood and mainstream entertainment media unwisely overlooked her story during her husband's first term.
This shady deal seems to be a continuation of Bezos and Amazon's attempts to get into the incoming president's good graces. Although Melania Trump has been slightly more visible since the election, she was unseen during most of the campaign and it's unclear why a movie about her life would make for interesting entertainment.
