Trump's Witty Response on Life Without Melania; Documentary Faces Budget Scrutiny

  • Donald Trump attended the premiere of 'MELANIA', a documentary about the First Lady, at the John F Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts.
  • When asked if he'd be the same without Melania, Trump humorously called it a 'dangerous question' and praised her as 'very respected, very smart, very measured'.
  • The documentary faces scrutiny for its $40 million budget and an additional $35 million spent by Amazon for promotion, raising questions of Amazon currying favor.
  • Melania Trump served as a paid executive producer, giving her direct control over the film's content and portrayal.
  • Democrats criticized the screening amidst a fatal shooting in Minneapolis and potential government shutdown, questioning the President's priorities.

Why It Matters: Trump's humorous take on Melania's influence contrasts with the documentary's budget controversy and political criticism.
