The Z-list "stars" and assorted psycho and sycophantic riffraff who'll be at the premiere of "Melania" tonight

https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/films/news/melania-donald-trump-documentary-kennedy-center-live-b2910501.html

Among those expected to be in attendance are the president and the first lady, along with Brett Ratner, the film’s director. Ratner is a controversial figure who has not worked in Hollywood since a string of sexual misconduct allegations in 2017, and was recently pictured in the Epstein files.

Also on the guest list are various media figures including Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil, Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, and former New York City mayor Eric Adams. A number of reality television stars have also been invited, such as Todd and Julie Chrisley. The multimillionaire couple were serving time in prison for fraud and tax evasion before they were pardoned by President Trump last year.

Much of the Trump administration are also expected to attend, including second lady Usha Vance, FBI Director Kash Patel, attorney general Pam Bondi, secretary of war Pete Hegseth, secretary of homeland security Kristi Noem, secretary of state Marco Rubio and secretary of health and human services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
