As Melania Trump’s “documentary” flops, it is worth looking into the people and corporations behind this monumental waste of film.
Director Brett Ratner, whose last name seems astonishingly synonymous with his character, has been accused of sexual assault by multiple women. Elliot Page said Ratner sexually harassed him and outed him when he was only 18 years old, prior to Page coming out as a trans man.
Ratner, who identifies as a proud Zionist, immigrated to Israel in October 2023, just as the country was beginning its genocidal campaign in Gaza. He sits on the board of directors of Tel Aviv University’s School of Film and Television. And he is good friends with wanted war criminal, Benjamin Netanyahu, who personally invited him to his speech at the United Nations.
In addition to this, the film was financed by billionaire, Jeff Bezos who owns Amazon and MGM. He actually spent $75 million on this snuff film for good taste. But several other major broadcast corporations competed for the honour too. Disney and Paramount Studios tried to buy the rights.
Regardless of billionaire suck-ups and their willingness to humiliate themselves for cash, most of the crew requested that their names be left out of the credits. In fact, many privately hope that the film flops.
In the meantime, Melania will likely go down with other notable nobodies in fascist history. Step aside, Eva Braun.
