A producer for the documentary about Melania Trump has named three artists whose music the first lady wanted to include in the film, but was denied.
Marc Beckman, Trumps manager and the CEO of New York advertising agency DMA United, claimed that he was unable to get permission from Guns N Roses, Grace Jones, and Princes estate for their music. The reason, he said, was political.
There was music that we tried to get, but sadly, there were politics to it, Beckman, who repeatedly insisted that the documentary wasnt political, told Variety.
For example, the guys from Guns N Roses split down the middle politically. There was a beautiful song we wanted to use, and one of the guys I dont want to name, its not fair said, You got it. Go. And the other one was basically like, Theres just no way. We needed everybodys approval to get it in the film. So Guns N Roses was definitely a disappointment for us; we all have a lot of respect for Guns N Roses.

1). Her career in the Slovenian Sex Industry, which led to her Einstein Visa for "extraordinary achievement," and...
2). Marrying Trump.
If I missed anything, folks, please let me know.
