Sonny Bunch saw “Melania” so you don’t have to and it’s no surprise that it’s not good. Sonny is joined by JVL to give their takes on why the movie makes no sense as a business proposition, Donald Trump’s central role in shaping its purpose, and the decision to put the project in the hands of Brett Ratner, a director exiled from Hollywood after multiple sexual misconduct allegations, as part of his attempted comeback.

I’ve read the following:
* Total Production/Rights Cost: $40 million
* Marketing Cost: $35 million
* Estimated Payment to Melania Trump: ~$28 million
BUT, also keep seeing the 75 Million dollar total. Does anyone know if the 28 Million to Melania was out of the 75 MIllion??
Nevermind: According to the Wall Street Journal, “the **First Lady’s cut is more than 70% of the $40 million**,” or at least $28 million.🙄

Yes…and?
This entire presidency is a walking bribe and not a single judge, lawyer, agency is doing anything.

I dropped Amazon in 2024, when I saw Bezos was kissing Trump’s ass during the campaign!

Obviously. And Amazon laid off 30,000 people to help cover the cost.
