Amazon Faces Backlash Following $75M Deal for Melania Trump Film

#WashingtonDC, #USA
Amazon is facing significant backlash after spending $75 million on a documentary about Melania Trump, which held its world premiere at the Trump Kennedy Center with Donald Trump and several high-ranking officials in attendance.The deal, which includes $40 million for production and $35 million for marketing, is viewed by industry analysts as a move by Jeff Bezos to secure favorable business treatment and federal support for his space company Blue Origin.Although the film chronicles the life of Melania Trump and her experience during the 2025 inauguration, it has received catastrophic reviews from critics and was mocked by television host Jimmy Kimmel.
