Initially surprised to see Brett Ratner's name directing the "Melania" hagiography that Tim Cook etc were watching at the White House last night. Why would an established Hollywood director do this kind of Riefenstahl crap?
Wikipedia had the answer:
"In 2017, numerous women in Hollywood came forward with allegations of misconduct against Ratner.[9] This resulted in his business deals and prospective film projects getting canceled or scrapped."
"Melania will mark Ratner's first film since numerous women accused him of sexual misconduct in 2017."

The far right seems to be a safe haven for people like this.
