Kayleigh Whackadoodle's mom describes fervent unrestrained Melania-gasms rippling through a Florida "SRO" theater

McEnany, who served as White House press secretary during Donald Trump’s first term, told her “Outnumbered” co-hosts that her mother watched the film in a Florida theater over the weekend.

“Not only was the theater packed, it was standing room only — if you could try to sneak in the back of the theater,” McEnany said. “People were cheering through it. They were excited. It was interactive. People interplaying with the film. She said it was just electric.”

The film debuted in theaters this weekend and earned roughly $7 million in ticket sales, a figure that exceeded industry expectations, according to The Associated Press.

McEnany’s claim of “standing room only,” however, quickly drew skepticism online, with critics noting it would typically violate theater safety rules. Others questioned the story’s credibility and asked for photographic or video evidence. Some commentators said the anecdote echoed McEnany’s exaggerated defenses of Trump during her tenure at the White House briefing podium.

That’s the $35 million in promotions talking. It’s had too much. Someone needs to take away it’s keys and drive it home to sleep it off.

What would they be cheering? Even the most slobbering reviews note that the production is at best a narrative of the rent-a-FLOTUS’s preparations for the Second Installation.

Now there’s smoke in the releases that Agent Krasnov made the beast with two backs in the WH with a Madeline somebody during the first imposition. It’s seeming very disingenuous.

“People were inter playing with the film. It was electric.”

I suppose if all the viewers were squinting at the screen, they could have mistaken Melania for a less attractive Frank-N-Furter.

Did a credible reporter ask if Maganinny’s mom brought rice to the theater?

The RHPS was far more enlightening than MELANIA could ever be. A "cult classic" made for $1 million in 1975, and still making money 50 years later.

$75 Million to make and promote, for a paltry $7 Million opening, says BOMB to me!

If they phoned a call center and had to speak to someone with that accent, they'd complain and moan, and as much as they hate the "elites", what do they think she is? Let alone her connections to Epstein. She is everything they say they hate.

They made that one of their "greatest hits," a complete level of intolerance for anyone coming here and NOT speaking "perfect English" 24/7.

The First Nude CLAIMS she speaks FLUENT English, Italian, French, and German in addition to her native Slovene.

She has been in America for over a quarter of a century and speaks English as "fluently" as an English As A Second Language student on their first night of class.

And yet, the MAGAts see her as "OUR Jackie Kennedy."

Nothing like SELECTIVE Xenophobia and Racism.

The production is claiming she’s 55, but I am certain that I have read she’s 60 - 61.

A theater in or near The Villages for example, Naples, WPB, Boca and maybe certain neighborhoods in the Tampa area, but SRO? As others have said, not bloody likely.

Also, if it did have a sellout, it isn't going to continue.

Most of those old farts are going to die soon enough. Florida has long been referred to as "Gods Waiting Room".

28. So the movie theater sold tickets for seats it did not have? Is that what she is really saying?
Tue Feb 3, 2026, 09:52 PM

How does that work? Has she ever been to a movie theater? Does she know how it works? You give them money, they give you ticket for seats in a theater. When the seats are sold out. No more tickets can be sold. So she is actually saying, they kept selling tickets? What exactly were people paying for???
She knows her audience, too dumb to realize how much they are being insulted.
