EXCLUSIVE: MELANIA ERASES IVANKA — AND KEEPS BARRON ON A TIGHT LEASH IN HER NEW DOC

INSIDERS SAY THE FIRST LADY CONTROLS EVERY FRAME — AND EVERY FAMILY MEMBER

I’ve spoken to people who’ve actually seen the upcoming Melania Trump documentary, and trust me — what’s not in it is just as telling as what is.

Let’s start with Barron Trump. Sources tell me he barely appears on screen. “He shows up for just a few fleeting moments,” one insider says. “Melania is fiercely protective of him — she won’t let him speak freely or be put in any even slightly awkward situation.”

Another source doubles down, telling me, “Every single scene with Barron had to be approved by her. He exists in public only on her terms.” Translation: blink and you’ll miss him.

And then there’s Ivanka Trump — or rather, the complete absence of her.

Sources tell me this was no accident. “Melania and Ivanka do not get along — not at all,” one insider reveals. “There’s real tension, and Melania made it clear she didn’t want Ivanka anywhere near this film.”

A crew member was even blunter: “There’s zero love lost. Ivanka’s absence is intentional. This is Melania’s world, and she wanted it that way.”

I’m also told Melania exercised ironclad control over the entire production. “She signed off on every take, every frame, every line,” one insider confides. “Donald’s reactions, Barron’s tiny moments — nothing happened without her approval.”

The final result? A sleek, tightly managed portrait where Barron is carefully shielded, Ivanka is erased entirely, and Melania dominates every scene.

As one early viewer summed it up for me: “It’s her story, her rules. Barron is protected, Ivanka is gone, and the spotlight never leaves Melania.”

January 2026 can’t come fast enough — popcorn ready.

Remember — if you’re going to be naughty, you’ve got to be nice.
