DAVID MARCUS: Why Melania and her fans deserve her silver screen star turn

‘MELANIA’ is set to hit theaters globally on Jan.30.(Melania Trump)

This cold shoulder from the legacy fashion and social pages, while obvious, does not mean that the first lady doesn’t have a lot of loyal fans.Quite the opposite: Among Trump supporters, especially women, she is wildly popular.

At Turning Point USA’s AmFest in Phoenix last month, many of the women I spoke with, mothers in particular, could not hold Melania in higher esteem, both asfashion iconand as someone with sway over the president.

One woman, in a sparkly custom MAGA jacket told me, “I think Melania is the only one Trump really listens to.”

The fans of the first lady are clearly the potential moviegoers that Amazon studios is after with the ambitious project, even though no matter how many see the movie, we all know it will be treated as a flop, a failure and a joke.

The author of this strange and unhinged column asks, “For starters, there’s the question of why.Why do we need this documentary?Who asked for it, aside from the film’s namesake?And who cares?”

The cultural institutions of our country and the Western world are still controlled by the left, and though their power over the populace is waning, they retain goodies and prizes to hand out that are for true believers only.

This is how President Trump can settle wars across the globe, and yet we know he won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize.It’s how the New York Post can break theHunter Bidenlaptop story without a whisper of a Pulitzer, and it’s how the most stunning first lady in a generation can’t get on any magazine covers.

The film is already being knocked as a “vanity project,” but when entire cultural industries are blacklisting a person, as they are with Melania, how else can you reach your fans and tell your story?

Florida’s university system, for example, seem to annoy all the right, or should I say, lefty, people.

Other institutions, like fashion magazines, Hollywood and late-night TV, well, they still have quite a ways to go to achieve fairness and balance.
