The reviews are in for the ‘Melania’ documentary and they are as brutal as you’d hope – 16 absolutely savage takedowns more fun than the film
Melania Trump’s self-titled documentary is already shaping up to be a turkey of colossal proportions.

Anyway I got up this morning and went out and saw MELANIA to review it. Outside, two journalists asked me if I was also a journalist. They were looking for someone in the audience who wasn't a journalist. Legit unsure if they found anyone. I hope not! This is very bad!
