Melania Trump's Documentary Premiere and Stock Market Impact: A Look Behind the Scenes

Melania Trump kicked off the day's trading at the New York Stock Exchange before the debut of her documentary, Melania, on Jan. 30. President Donald Trump celebrated the S&P 500 hitting 7000 for the first time on Truth Social shortly after Melania's appearance. The documentary was set to premiere at the Kennedy Center and in select US theaters, with Amazon reportedly paying $40m for the rights and an additional $35m for promotion. A screening at the White House was attended by prominent figures like Apple CEO Tim Cook and Mike Tyson. Melania was filmed in the weeks leading up to the second Trump inauguration, offering an intimate look at the first lady's life. Despite claims that the documentary is apolitical, it has faced criticism online for being propaganda. Melania Trump's documentary premiere coincided with heightened tensions in the US following the deaths of two American citizens by federal immigration agents in Minnesota. The first lady issued a rare political statement urging peaceful protests and unity.
