Jeff Bezos defends Melania Trump’s Amazon film as ‘good business decision’
Melania movie was ‘good business decision’ and ‘did well,’ Jeff Bezos says
Jeff Bezos defended Amazon‘s investment in the documentary movie “Melania,” which received overwhelmingly negative reviews, insisting it was a “good business decision” for the company.
Bezos denied personal involvement in the movie’s production, stating he “had nothing to do with that” and attributed the decision to the Amazon team, despite the film‘s 10% Rotten Tomatoes score.
The film, which cost $40 million to produce and $35 million to market, generated only $16 million globally, yet Bezos claimed it “did very well in theaters” and on streaming platforms.
Bezos praised Donald Trump, describing him as “a more mature, more disciplined version of himself” and emphasized the importance of business leaders providing input to any administration.
The Amazon founder also commented on taxation, arguing that increasing his already “billions of dollars” in taxes would not solve societal problems, such as helping a teacher in Queens.
