In the trailer for the upcoming series, Melania Trump addresses the media reaction to her projects. “The media, they want gossip. For me, it’s noise,” she says in footage captured in the days following President Donald Trump’s second inauguration, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. The streaming release follows an Amazon deal that included additional bonus footage.
The two-part series also highlights family dynamics, with Melania Trump stating in a voiceover that her son, Barron Trump, remains her priority. “He’s my priority,” she says in the trailer, according to Yahoo. “He will always be my priority.”
Online response to the promotional trailer on social media was largely negative, featuring criticism from users reacting to both the political climate and the reception of the previous film, The Daily Beast reported. Amazon MGM Studios stated in its press release that the series offers unprecedented insight into the days immediately following the 47th Presidential Inauguration.
