That skin is thin. Mr. Bezos is trying hard to curry favor with the President.
Amazon pulls ‘Melania' from movie theater due to jokes on its marquee
If Donald Trump and Jeff Bezos are known for anything, it's their ability to take a joke.
Which is why it's so surprising that Amazon would pull Melania from a movie theater after some gentle mocking about the film appeared on its marquee.
As first reported by The Oregonian, and then nationally spotted by The Daily Beast, an Oregon theater long known for finding creatively witty ways to advertise its movies was asked by Amazon to stop screening Melania.
The Lake Theater and Cafe in Lake Oswego had touted last week's release of Amazon MGM's controversial documentary with declarations such as "Does Melania wear Prada? Find out Friday" and - quoting Sun Tzu's The Art of War - "To defeat your enemy, you must know them. Melania starts Friday."
Then manager Jordan Perry says their booker received a call from somebody at Amazon asking the theater to pull the film.
