The loss of the theatrical rights is attributed to the Lake Theater’s marquee messages for the documentary. These included: “DOES MELANIA WEAR PRADA? FIND OUT FRIDAY!” and “TO DEFEAT YOUR ENEMY. YOU MUST KNOW THEM. MELANIA.”

Really not funny, offensive, or even interesting, but I guess that's enough these days.

The Prada one is mildly clever, implying Melania is the devil.

I kinda like the second one, about defeating them you must know them.

Yeah. I don't wear Prada.
False economy.
