No, seriously, DO NOT call it a comeback.
Melania Trump’s new documentary was torn apart before anyone had even seen it.
Less than a week after her husband’s Republican Party was defeated in a historically disastrous midterm election, the first lady is trying to wrap her head around her new business.
Amazon MGM announced MĆ©lania, the series Friday, following Melania, the film, which went down in history as one of the most dismally rated features on the big screen, with 9% on Rotten Tomatoes and 1.6 on IMDb.
Those ratings weren’t bad enough to kill a follow, even though people in the comments section on his posts marketing the new venture seem to think they should have been.
āZero Epstein clients arrested,ā one person commented under a post from Melania sharing the new trailer.

āI want the show with you and your family in the courtroom,ā said another.
āTough pass,ā said a third. āIām embarrassed for you.ā
The first lady is pushing her new Amazon series.
Embarrassment was a recurring theme, with a fourth saying: Jesus H. f… what an embarrassment this family is to the nation.
āThank you, Melania ā in a hilariously tone-deaf c— like thatās what became Texas blue ā we owe it to you!ā rejoices another.
Negative posts along these lines have dominated, with very few comments seen by the Daily Beast expressing support for the new project.
“The most hated family. Scammers and traitors to this country. š¤”
A Christmas lover took the opportunity to score points in a personal vendetta. “Just f— off ffs, no one cares. Just like you don’t give a fuck about Christmas,” they fumed. āDidnāt you already have a movie that completely bombed(?) the worst, most corrupt first family in history.ā
The former didn’t do very well in IMDb’s rating system.
āThis is going to get a 1/10 on IMDb too, I know that,ā said one, clearly still remembering the failure of the film Titanic, released in March.
The two-part series arrives amid persistent rumors that Amazon boss Jeff Bezos is keen to curry favor with President Trump.
His company said in a statement that it would follow “the historic success of MĆLANIE, The Film.Ā» The first part will cover āFamily and Trustā and the second will cover āPride and Honorā.
āThe series reveals never-before-seen stories, offering unprecedented insight into the life of Melania Trump, including the extraordinary days immediately following the 47th presidential inauguration,ā the statement added.
Unfortunately for Melania, the public online flogging of her new project continued when she shared a poster marketing the series.
āI wouldnāt watch if someone paid me,ā one person said.
“‘We just got demolished in the midterms. How can we get American voters back on our side?'” said another, mocking an imaginary conversation at the White House. āHow about a TV show about the most useless first lady ever?ā Ā»
Others have found ways to be even less charitable.
“People are flying out of your movie on planes. Yet you keep doubling down somehow…” one said.
āI’d rather shit my hands and clap than watch this mess,ā another added.
“The documentary was unwatchable. Who is going to watch a series about this meaningless idiot?” Ā» asked a third.
Some comments were not printable. Others spoke of a real feeling of horror.
āI would rather have a colonoscopy with rusty razor blades than watch Melania,ā one of those messages read.
āThe series takes audiences beyond what they’ve already seen, with content never before shared with audiences,ā Amazon’s press release said. āOn November 20, experience new and unique moments. Ā»
Bret Ratner, who also directed the original film, directed both episodes. For the first time, the first lady raised $10.71 million for the project, despite reports that the film lost $60 million.
The Daily Beast has contacted Melania for comment.
