    I can’t help but wonder - does she really actually believe it’s some kind of success and that the world is actually interested in her?

    Or, does she know it’s just the cover for a bribe and the reports of it’s success are just noise.

    I don’t know anything about her (and don’t care to), but it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if she is vastly more intelligent than Trump and has a much better handle on how the world works.

      Melania likely doesn’t care how her documentary is received by critics and the public. This is a woman who has been the butt of countless jokes for a decade because she’s married to one of the most hated people in the world. I’m sure she understands that all the money Amazon is dumping into this shitshow of a documentary is a bribe, and she’s all for it because it adds to her wealth.

      She doesn’t strike me as particularly intelligent either. A more intelligent person would use their voice as First Lady to advance whatever they’re passionate about, but she’s done almost nothing like that.

      Yeah, but that’s not a high bar to clear. I was on the bus and heard a 5 year old yell out “ICE IS A BAG OF POOP!!!”

      I’d say that kid has a solid handle on life, and meets the requirements to clear your bar.
