I have never been friends with Epstein. Donald and I were invited to the same parties as Epstein from time to time, since overlapping in social circles is common in New York City and Palm Beach.
President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were booed and jeered as they emerged into the presidential box at the contentiously-renamed Trump-Kennedy Center, but whoops and cheers swelled into an ovation.
When the wife of President Donald Trump takes her seat in the president's chair on Monday afternoon, it will be the first time a first lady, or first gentleman for that matter, has ever presided over a Security Council meeting, U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters.
Brett Ratner's new documentary about Melania Trump is long and glossy yet largely unrevealing-critics have said it has " the feel of a soothingly looped AI screensaver" and that it is " compelling as dental floss," " short on substance," and " a personality-study of a person who doesn't actually have one." They've used words like " hagiographic," "unimaginative," " Sphinxlike," and " stultifying." The Bulwark called it a "pure and naked instrument of graft and propaganda" that "preaches to the faithful with great reverence."
The movie featuring Melania Trump as herself surprised critics by making back roughly $7 million of the reported $75 million Amazon MGM Studios paid to launch the globally over the weekend, according to the studio. Melania is listed as a producer on the documentary that focuses on the days leading up to her becoming the nation's first lady for the second time.
The primary question in all matters concerning Melania Trump is " What is she thinking?" The First Lady is an endless font of utterly puzzling behavior. So it's fitting that at the premiere of her film on Thursday night she stood before the audience and declared, basically, "Ceci n'est pas une documentary." "Some have called this a documentary. It is not," she said.
There are no Melania posters anywhere and the screening is tucked into the back bottom corner of the large movie theatre, like the weird leftover table at a wedding. Eventually, just eight people arrive. The cinema has a capacity of about 150 people. There's a couple, an elderly lady, a few middle-aged men and me. We all sit in the back for some reason. I wonder if the terrible showing is because it's a weird time of day to watch a movie.
