Amazon drops $40M on First Lady’s documentary plus $35M for ads—all while scoring a billion-dollar military contract!

Amazon MGM Studios just blew $40M to buy the rights for this Melania doc and then dumped another $35M into a marketing blitz for a movie that only made $7M at the box office. This $75M disaster happened to land the same week AWS snagged a $581M sole-source contract for the Air Force Cloud One program. It aint some random coincidence that Bezos is overpaying for a doc that panned with critics while he is waiting on the Pentagon to sign off on massive taxpayer-funded deals. People ignoring the fact that a trillion-dollar company dont just lose tens of millions on a vanity project by accident. It looks a lot more like they are buying political insurance to keep the government money moving without any extra questions from the administration.
