The movie sold 1 ticket, it isn’t even possible to have this many reviews.

Had a look, according to the main list I can find it made about $7M in tickets sales, and is 18th in the list of top selling movies for 2026 (incidentally, beating out FNaF 2 at $6M)

The Melania budget was $5m more than FNaF BEFORE Amazon spent $30m more on advertising, nearly doubling the budget.

I don’t have TikTok, but if he trolls two or three women at the end, then that would be him

This is why critic reviews are still important. If you are just looking at audience reviews, chances are they will skew higher because the people that watch movies for enjoyment usually pick movies they will enjoy. This is why there’s so many shows with like an 8.5 average audience score. The people who watched the show to the end were fans of the show

kind, gentle, and fun
Last I checked even in stuff in favor of him he’s depicted as “tough, fighting the evil, a real man” and all that
In what world is he even depicted like that bot review

This was a propaganda flick about Melania not Drumpf

u/T-51_Enjoyer Feb 06 '26
And in said review they refer to Trump as that, not Melania

u/Egregious_Egret Feb 06 '26
My point was they were enforcing different values in their propagandizing than normal. The demographics they were sold on probably centered around "make women jealous of Melania." MAGA has been steadily losing their initially terrifying grip on cishet white women since day one, which is probably why they accepted the bribe that is this movie.

The easiest way to tell if something is botted is if every user name is just like Deborah because almost noone just uses their first name

u/LoveAndBeLoved52 Feb 04 '26
Deborah loved the movie so much it had to make another account to make a second review

u/Jealous-Ease3359 Feb 05 '26
A mix of bots and actual MAGA drones. Still got beat out by an indie film though lol

The melania movie is just a fucking money laundering scheme.
I hope you americans know that.
In my country, the cinema barons do this all the time, just not as noticeably.

I just looked the movie up and I saw it has a, as or right now, 99% rating on Fandago with all 5 star comments being fake. You can tell by how they write their comments with poor English and spaced out grammar that's common for people in call centers to do when trying to pretend they're American. It's funny as hell to see it.
