      Lake Oswego is a rich conservative white woman sanctuary just west of Portland.

      I'm not buying that this theater owner was playing the movie as a joke.

                  Then why did Amazon pull their rights to screen the movie because they made fun of it so much?

                    Sounds like they did it for the lols, made light fun of it in their promo material, and Amazon pulled the licensing.

                    “Mostly, I thought doing so would be funny. For some of you, that’s enough. Great! Otherwise… Financially, the film marketplace this week and next were a desert… So, to fill a screen, why not get this inexplicable vanity piece from the current president’s wife? I mean, it just seems so weird that it even exists (who wants a movie about Melania lol?), and wouldn’t it then be exponentially weirder, to the point of being funny, to show it here, at your obviously anti-establishment, occasionally troublemaking, neighborhood cinema?” Perry wrote.

                      The loss of the theatrical rights is attributed to the Lake Theater’s marquee messages for the documentary.

                      These included: “DOES MELANIA WEAR PRADA? FIND OUT FRIDAY!” and “TO DEFEAT YOUR ENEMY. YOU MUST KNOW THEM. MELANIA.”

                      Maybe they wanted to make money but they still did make jokes against it.

                          These included: “DOES MELANIA WEAR PRADA? FIND OUT FRIDAY!” and “TO DEFEAT YOUR ENEMY. YOU MUST KNOW THEM. MELANIA.”

                            Really not funny, offensive, or even interesting, but I guess that's enough these days.

                              Why? Are you unable to read? it was stated on their website

                              "MELANIA (we don’t like her either!) starts here Friday 1/30 to play daily at 5:00* 7:45 🙇🏼 in the main auditorium 🙇🏼 * 5pm Sunday & Thursday shows subtitled for the hearing and/or accent impaired"

                              Sounds like they were having a giggle to me.

                                The Prada one is mildly clever, implying Melania is the devil.
