    So you know how Ceaușescu’s Romania had propaganda songs made about Ceaușescu’s wife Elena?

    Yeah. This is like that.

    What is there to question? It’s a documentary no one wants or asked for paid for by someone who just wants to be in cheeto’s favor? It’s not some Scooby doo mystery, we know who’s under the mask.

      Why would anyone watch a documentary about someone who have done nothing with her life? Slavic Kim Kardashian.

      Can people not make fun of Melania without sounding like total dicks about sex workers… or foreigners… or ESL folks?

      I wonder if this is an insidious plan to boost numbers or more of a “I’ll give you 50 bucks to sit through this terrible movie” thing.

      That figure is missing some zeros if it intends to be effective.
