Friday, January 30, 2026 - Advertising posters for Melania Trump’s upcoming documentary, Melania, have been repeatedly vandalised across Los Angeles, prompting concern from the city’s public transit authority.
The Los Angeles public transit agency has reported a sharp
rise in vandalism on buses and at bus stops displaying the First Lady’s image.
The posters have been defaced with expletives, drawn moustaches resembling
Adolf Hitler’s, and references to Hitler’s wife, Eva Braun.
The scale of the damage has forced transit officials to take
action. The agency said it had begun reassigning buses carrying Melania
advertisements to other areas in an effort to limit further vandalism. Although
some of the vandalized bus stops are not managed by the transit authority,
officials said the situation had become severe enough to warrant intervention.
“At least one billboard has also been defaced in the city,”
according to reports. Activist art collective INDECLINE has claimed
responsibility for vandalizing one of the billboards.
Melania Trump announced the launch of her production company
last year, with Melania marking its first project. The documentary, directed by
Brett Ratner, is set to be released tomorrow and offers what has been described
as an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Melania Trump’s life in the weeks
leading up to the 2025 presidential inauguration.
Amazon MGM Studios reportedly paid $40 million for the
documentary.
