Generally I don't pay that much attention to First Ladies. Sometimes they are in the news frequently, like Hillary Clinton, and with others, like Laura Bush, they keep lower profiles. Until this week, the current First Lady, Melania Trump, actually had what seemed to be a low profile sort. This week though, to prove that wrong, Amazon showed everyone that they were hoping to buy a bit of White House favor by reportedly paying $40 million for the film, and promising another $35 million in promotion for it. In all honesty, I was perfectly happy with her remaining in the background, no tacky jackets or overdone hats, but in that way of events, the government is killing citizens and the White House is doing a movie release, so the thing got far more press than it should have, since they chose to keep the release schedule, regardless of the general consensus that doing it now just adds more negative press than the film would have earned anyway.
