Melania Trump isn't telling the whole truth

Fri Feb 06 2026

Listen

Is Melania Trump's new film a documentary? Fan service? Or propaganda? The Amazon funded $40 million-$75 million film, follows the first lady as she prepares for her husband's second inauguration. But, it's finely manicured editing and it's fabricated storylines obscure reality - much like the Trump administration's broader media strategy. So what's the point? Brittany sits down with NPR Senior Arts Critic Bob Mondello, and Vulture Movie Critic Alison Willmore. They examine the wardrobe changes, opulent decor, and even Amazon’s financial support of the movie and break down what this film tells us – and doesn’t tell us – about the first lady. (00:00) The Melania Documentary Review: Airless, High Heels, Shiny(03:07) Melania Trump is staging the scenes of her life(06:06) Melania is in control - and rewriting history(13:10) Is Trump's documentary propaganda or fan service?(17:34) Amazon, Jeff Bezos, and the Trump family business Support Public Media.
