US President Donald Trump, his wife Melania, and senior administration officials attended the premiere of the film "Melania" at the Kennedy Center on Thursday, January 29. This was reported by UNN with reference to The New York Times.

"It's glamorous, very glamorous," explained the US President as his wife posed for photos against a backdrop of huge, glowing, uncrossed letters spelling out her name.
At the same time, according to the publication, people's opinions on the event were divided: some considered it glamorous, while others saw it as a blatant act of corporate corruption.
In addition, Amazon paid the First Lady's production company $40 million for the film rights, and then spent another $35 million on its promotion. The film's marketing budget is 10 times the amount usually received by other major documentaries.
When one of the journalists tried to find out from Trump why the film's cost was so high, he reacted vehemently.
"I think you should ask President Obama, who got a lot of money and did nothing. If you look at others, they also got a lot of money, but Melania is a person who really created something, she did a great job."
