In the 104 minutes of the movie “Melania,” there are only two real hints of how dangerous our world and politics have become.

The supposed documentary on First Lady Melania Trump is largely set in the 20 days before her husband, President Donald Trump, returned to office for the second time last January. At one point, the couple are seen with staffers discussing grand plans for “a million” people to line the streets of Washington for the swearing-in ceremony. Staffers inform the family that they will ride in a motorcade along Pennsylvania Avenue and that, as per tradition, they will have a few opportunities to get out of the car and wave at the crowd.

Despite assurances that the Secret Service believes this will be “safe,” Melania — and her son, Barron Trump — are clearly not convinced.
“How could that be safe? Especially with the last year, what’s going on and stuff,” Melania says during the meeting. “I have concerns, honestly, and I know Barron will not go out of the car. I respect that. That’s his decision. We need to talk about it. Are we doing it or not?”

The scene hints at the increased violence and tensions that have accompanied Trump’s return to power, which have included assassination attempts, widespread protests and — in the weeks before the film opened — multiple high profile killings by federal agents. Ultimately, Trump’s second inauguration was moved indoors. In voiceover narration for the movie, Melania only briefly acknowledges this shift and attributes it entirely to winter weather.
