[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"The Real Lives of Trophy Wives" S1E1 - Melania Trump

Who cares? If Bezos wants to waste his money, fine, but I'm not watching this dreck.[/quote]

You should care if Melania is gaining $40 mn so that people can cozy up to her husband.  There's a whole lot of conflict of interest and ethics violations there.

And in March a “person close to Bezos” told the Financial Times that the Melania documentary “is patently ridiculous, but is very pragmatic”. They added, “He is doing a deal, offering money to buy the Trump family’s affection and flattering the president. If you think about it in terms of costs versus benefit, it is pretty low. It’s a smart investment.”

An Amazon spokesman downplayed the suggestion that the deal was part of Bezos’s effort to kiss up to the new administration, telling the WSJ, “We licensed the upcoming Melania Trump documentary film and series for one reason and one reason only — because we think customers are going to love it.”[/quote][/quote]
