Melania Quietly Entered Another Business Venture Linked to Something She Blasted as First Lady

Christmas ornaments? Really?

By

Melania Trump is back in public view, and it has nothing to do with going out and supporting her husband in court or on the campaign trail. No, Melania is getting back into the business of selling Christmas ornaments.

She sold the baubles last year and did decent among Trump fans.

The odd part about it is that, despite the fact that Melania was in charge of decorating the White House for holidays while Trump was in office, she didn’t really like to. In fact, we have audio of her swearing about it while complaining:

“I’m working like a, my ass off at Christmas stuff. You know, who gives a fuck about Christmas stuff and decoration, but I need to do it, right?”

Of course, she could have just been in a bad mood at the time. During the same conversation, she also complained about being asked about migrant children in cages at the border, saying “They said, ‘Oh, what about the children that were separated?’ Give me a fucking break.”

In spite of the fact that Melania is apparently a very angry and resentful woman, she’s trying to cash in on the Christmas spirit. That’s ironic, given that her husband called the Democrats “hustlers” and “pagans” set out to destroy the holiday.

Her ornaments are in the $35-$45 range, which is hilarious. The idea that people buy Trump garbage at prices like that is appalling.

Predictably, Melania got an icy reception on social media with the trinkets, which really don’t look much different than the stuff at Target, except, you know, ‘MURICAN.

Others were offended that she only seems to appear in public when she’s got something to sell:

And as one Twitter (X) user pointed out, it’s the grift that keeps on grifting.
