A rumor has emerged online about President Donald Trump making it mandatory for schools to screen a documentary about Melania Trump. The post seems to mimic the way the President speaks and has laid forth the bizarre claim that Melania, a documentary about his wife, is mandatory viewing in all history classes.
Did Donald Trump tweet about Melania’s documentary?
No, Donald Trump did not make a post on Truth Social about Brett Ratner’s latest documentary, Melania. Neither did the President make it a mandatory viewing in history classes across the country. Though screenshots of the same have gone viral on social media platforms like Facebook, Reddit, and Threads, there is no such real post in Donald Trump’s Truth Social account.
“In celebration of my INCREDIBLE WIFE, MELANIE, and her BRAND NEW MOVIE (critics are calling it “VERY IMPORTANT”), I am proud to announce that it will now be considered a FOUNDATIONAL MOMENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY,” the post read, mimicking Donald Trump’s usual Truth Social posts (via Snopes), “Effective immediately, this movie will be MANDATORY VIEWING in ALL history courses. Elementary, high school, college – EVERYONE. People should learn WINNING early.”
The post further added, “Any universities that REFUSE to teach this MASTERPIECE will unfortunately see their funding DISAPPEAR. Sad! But rules are rules. This is about EDUCATION. This is about CULTURE.” It concluded, “This is about RESPECT. Congratulations to MELANIA on this HISTORIC ACHIEVEMENT!!! Many people are saying it’s the greatest film since the invention of film.”
Snopes further fact-checked this post and discovered that there is no real post like this that exists.
So, this is a cleverly altered screenshot that has many citizens confused about this new documentary and its mandatory viewing.
Brett Ratner’s Melania premiered at the Kennedy Center and other screenings on January 29, 2026.
