'MELANIA' Gets Torn Apart on Social Media
'MELANIA' will hit theaters on Friday, January 30.
While her fans were excited for the premiere, many bashed the Brett Ratner-directed project, which Melania, 58, is also a producer of.
"This is so f------ weird," one person wrote on X, while another asked, "WTF is this bull----?"
"It was all part of the grift," declared a third critic, while another admitted, "Omg! It felt like a mockumentary. I did not take that as an actual release for one moment."
What's Shown in the 'MELANIA' Trailer?
Social media users poked fun at the film and questioned why it was being made.
The mom-of-one previously shared of the movie, "For the first time, global audiences are invited into theaters to witness this pivotal chapter unfold — a private, unfiltered look as I navigate family, business, and philanthropy on my remarkable journey to becoming first lady of the United States of America."

Barron and Donald Trump appear in the film as well.
Clips in the trailer included the former model telling husband Donald Trump, 79, that he's "a unifier" and "peacemaker," the first couple at Mar-a-Lago, inside the White House and standing next to their son, Barron, 19.
While some moments were more light-hearted and appeared to be about Melania's fashion choices, in one clip, she worryingly asked a man, "Is it safe?"
The movie covers Melania in the 20 days leading up to the 2025 inauguration.
In another scene, she called her husband and greets him by saying, "Hi, Mr. President, congratulations!"
"Did you watch it?" he asked over the phone, to which she confessed, "I did not. I will see it on the news."
A voiceover by Melania teased of the documentary, "Everyone wants to know, so here it is."
The First Lady Dishes on Filming
Melania is also starring in a three-part docuseries for Amazon.
"We started the production in November, and we are shooting right now, so it’s a day-to-day life, what I’m doing, what kind of responsibilities I have," Melania spilled on Fox & Friends in January 2025. "It’s day-to-day, from transition team to moving to the White House, packing, establishing my team, the first lady office, moving into the White House, what it takes to make the residence your home, to hire the people that you need."
In addition to the flick, Amazon is set to release a three-part docuseries about Melania's life as she travels from NYC to Washington, D.C., and Palm Beach, Fla.
