Melania Trump told her husband to course correct in Minneapolis because she was furious Alex Pretti's shooting put the release of the documentary about her life in the shade, according to a biographer of Donald Trump.

The first lady intervened in her husband's immigration enforcement operations because she thought uproar over last weekend's ICE shooting took focus off her premiere, writer Michael Wolff told the Daily Beast.

"This was supposed to be the Melania week," he said.

The 37-year-old ICU nurse Pretti was shot as he defended a woman from ICE agents on Saturday, video and multiple reports show.

Wolff characterized Trump as responsive to spousal pressure. He said: "Donald Trump is not moved by normal political considerations, but he is moved by a p---ed-off wife. What he does not want is a p---ed-off and uncontrolled Melania."

And, according to Wolff, Melania was "truly p---ed-off" as she considered the premiere of the $75 million film, scheduled for the Kennedy Center, was eclipsed.

3. The original story was in Daily Beast

Which seems to make it real, or at least not a deliberate satire

2. Oh please

No one was going to care about this documentary.

4. Let me say this in the gentlest way possible.

Fuck that stupid asshole woman.

[synni]

12. That IS gentle

Much more gentle than the way I would have phrased it.

[JustAnotherGen]

5. Good

I really don't care.

[Deuxcents]

6. If the earth stood still for a week, her movie would still bomb because no one cares about her..

Except maybe a few MAGA supporters and they’re not reserving seats, either.

7. I'm not buying it. Is she really that delusional? I doubt it. I don't think they ever thought it was going to do well

It was a grift.

9. Probably but they live in an incredibly isolated bubble

look at how out of touch Trump himself has been both after Pretti’s murder and how he thinks tossing out $crsos ti the masses will make him popular. Hell, he seems to actually think his polls aren’t in the crapper.

16. Im sure part of the grift was a sum related to ticket sales...

8. Is she nude in it?

10. This made me smile

11. I really don't care. Do U?

15. A little factoid that should be emphasized

She wore that jacket during a trip to a migrant child detention centre.

13. Movie goers like their actresses on the younger side.

Not even the Surgeon General of Beverly Hills can help you now, Dahlink.

14. How would Wolff know?

Sounds like he's speculating.
