Culled from Facebook comments:
“Abraham Lincoln saw it. He said it was the worst experience he’d ever had in a theater”
“I called the theater to find out what time the showing started. They said, ‘What time can you get here?’”

I really want to let more time pass and more facts come to light before commenting, especially on Melania the person. I am not exactly sure how much control, and therefore how much responsibility, she has on this.

My most positive impression of Melania is still her first inauguration gown I saw at the Smithsonian's collection of First Ladies' gowns. Someone with that caliber of artful aesthetic sense must have some redeeming substance.

A less harsh review of the movie, from a sympathetic reviewer.

All this hate for Melania is very reminiscent of the same for Michelle Obama. Utterly undeserved and cruel.
But the airplane walkout meme is funny.
