There’s more than one way to bribe an official, and since this regime and its leader don’t give a shit about optics or the appearance of impropriety, there you go. We knew what Trump was expecting when he surrounded himself with tech bros and oligarchs at the inauguration.
The “director”, I use that term loosely, resembles Harvey Weinstein A LOT
I’m about to search Bezos in the Epstein files
It was a waste of money and no reputable studio would even touch it with a ten-foot pole even if Melania was using that pole like a stripper!
Its a bribe, the people involved are corrupt, the subject matter is gross and the movie sucks. We’ll be laughing at it for years after we kick these fascists into the trash.
Sounds like another MAGA grift to me!
Some people have their heads so far up tRump's ass, they're sucking his dick from the inside.
I've tried to boycott Amazon but failed 😔. I've talked with some of our driver's and overall they say their happy.
It helps knowing that.
And used an Epstein buddy to direct the movie! Trump protecting his pedophile brethren!
Especially for a documentary about a soulless aging grifter. I am fine with them wasting their money on this joke of a documentary, that by all accounts is a big loser.
It was a bribe. End of conversation
They had to find a POS to direct a POS documentary…Ken Burns kindly declined….
It. Was. A. Bribe.
$100 says the docuseries now gets shelved
Hey. Did you read the review from the
@theguardian.com ? Great stuff!
Corrupt AF
It's the price for protection the Trump Crime Family demanded.
Netflix should make a documentary about Amazon making a documentary about Mrs Trump. Now that would be worth watching…
