The teaser trailer didn’t appear to impress the serially absent first girl’s many critics.
Whereas White Home press secretary Karoline Leavitt was unsurprisingly over the moon in regards to the launch, others identified some problematic ties behind the scenes.
“We all realize what this is, right? This should be filed under Amazon’s ‘lobbying expenses,’” Miles Taylor, a staffer throughout Trump’s first administration, tweeted Wednesday.
Pod Save America’s Tommy Vietor known as the upcoming movie, which hits theaters Jan. 30, a “$40 million bribe” from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to the Trump administration.
Multibillionaire Bezos does have loads of explanation why he’d need to be within the White Home’s good graces. Throughout Trump’s first time period, the president pointed his vengeful vitality in the direction of one of many world’s richest males, blocking a $10 billion contract with the federal government in 2020.

This time round, Bezos has cozied up along with his former archnemesis within the identify of securing contracts for his rocket firm Blue Origin and maintaining his taxes low.
However the bald billionaire isn’t the one questionable character behind this theatrical masterpiece.
Brett Ratner is on the helm of directorial duties, and if that identify sounds acquainted it is perhaps from headlines through the #MeToo motion.
Ratner, who made movies like “Rush Hour” and “X-Men: The Last Stand,” was accused of sexually harassing six ladies.
Olivia Munn was one of many actors who got here ahead about her expertise with the director, telling the Los Angeles Instances that he started masturbating in entrance of her when she entered his trailer.
In one other occasion, she mentioned, Ratner advised her that he had ejaculated onto numerous journal covers that includes her face. The director denied the a number of accusations.
But when anybody could be unfazed by a person with a sexually questionable previous making a movie about his spouse, it’s the pussy-grabbing president. As a matter of truth, the commander in chief efficiently pushed for Paramount—the Larry Ellison-owned, Trump-friendly media firm—to make and distribute a “Rush Hour 4.”
Because of Bezos and Melania, Ratner is again within the recreation regardless of his repute as a sexual deviant.
A small reward, it appears, for making a movie that glamorizes probably the most grifty first girl in our nation’s historical past.
