Melania Trump Features in Amazon Documentary Trailer Ahead of January 30 Release

Melania Trump, the former US First Lady, takes center stage in a rare public spotlight with the debut trailer for her upcoming Amazon documentary, Melania, set to release on January 30. The teaser shows Trump delivering a steady, unflinching gaze at the camera while summarizing her husband’s political comeback in four words: “Here we go again.”

The documentary chronicles 20 days leading up to President Donald Trump’s second inauguration, capturing moments from transition planning and closed-door meetings to intimate, behind-the-scenes scenes of life in the White House. According to reports, Amazon MGM’s licensing deal for the film is valued at approximately $40 million, with Melania serving as executive producer and reportedly set to receive 70 percent of the sum, a figure that has drawn public attention.

The trailer blends choreographed grandeur with casual, sometimes awkward moments. It features the former first lady moving through the White House and the Trump family’s Florida estate in tailored outfits, including stilettos and a strapless inaugural ball gown. Several clips highlight her active role in shaping her husband’s speeches, including prompting him with phrases like “Peacemaker and unifier” during rehearsal.

One notable scene shows Melania congratulating Trump over the phone for a speech, replying, “I did not… I will see it on the news,” when asked if she watched it, offering viewers a glimpse into their private dynamic. Additional footage includes photo shoots at the White House, domestic travel, and poignant moments such as placing a white flower at a gravesite, presenting a mix of public and personal life.

Amazon promises the documentary will provide “unprecedented access” and rare insight into Melania Trump’s world, capturing both her public responsibilities and private experiences. The project is directed by Brett Ratner, marking his first major work since allegations of sexual misconduct in 2017, which he denies.

The documentary will premiere in theaters globally on January 30, accompanied by a three-part companion series and a streaming run on Prime Video. By offering exclusive footage of critical meetings, personal interactions, and daily routines, Melania positions the former first lady as both a subject of political and cultural interest while reintroducing her into the public sphere.
