Try not to vomit, but Melania Trump is getting $40M to make a documentary with Amazon

And you’ll never guess who’s getting a cameo.

During her first term as First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump often came across as an out-of-touch rich chick who couldn’t be bothered by the responsibility that accompanied her role. that totally inappropriate jacket she wore to the New Hope Children’s Shelter in McAllen, Texas, in 2018? But it seems the lesson in poor taste was completely lost on Mrs. Trump, who recently signed a $40 million deal with Amazon to develop a documentary about her life.

The deal also includes the rights to any project Melania takes on in the next four years. According to accused of sexual assault and harassment by six women in 2017. After Warner Bros. cut ties with him, Ratner stepped away from Hollywood.

Speaking to Page Six, a source familiar with the deal said it signals Melania’s newfound comfort with public scrutiny. “She’s been very savvy about what she says,” the unnamed individual told The New York Post.  “Melania has gotten more comfortable speaking in front of people and on TV. She is more confident and has taken full control of her public image, which she knows is worth millions, and she’s ready to be paid for the work she puts into the doc and revealing more about herself.”

Additionally, Mrs. Trump insisted on creative “control and approval” and will serve as executive producer on the project alongside her husband. “Melania has carefully limited and controlled both her image and access to her, which has driven public interest,” the source explained. “By being removed from constant public exposure and being mysterious, she’s driven up interest in her everyday life, and this has driven up her price.”

“She’s private to the core but willing to put to use what she learned from her days as a model and as the wife of a master marketer. President Trump fully s all of her projects,” the source continued. “I’m also told her deal also gives her a piece of the backend and that her husband helped structure the project,” the source continued. That means Melania will get a share of the profits after the documentary earns back its production costs.

But the thing that makes this deal a little suspect is Amazon boss Elon Musk ed the pair for dinner and later told his audience on X that “it was a great conversation.” I’m sure MAGA will appreciate the skepticism about the entire deal, since their entire movement is based on conspiracies and false information.

News of the Melania-focused documentary comes a day after Trump laid out what can only be described as extensive land-grab plans to expand American territory. The president-elect has his sights set on Canada, Greenland, The Gulf of Mexico, and the Panama Canal. If the television project covers even a tiny portion of what goes on when Trump and Musk are in the same room, it will probably play out like an episode of Pinky and the Brain.
