Melania Didn’t Need Trump to Humiliate Her — She Did a Great Job Doing it Herself With Her Newest Scheme

Maybe Mel should stick to looking pretty.

Melania Trump has tried her hand at selling a number of things, just like her husband. From Christmas ornaments to NFTs, her efforts have largely gone dark almost immediately, with only the most fervent of Trump supporters buying them.

Her latest venture is a piece of jewelry designed specifically for Mother’s Day.

I don’t think the irony is lost on anyone — the only reason she’s famous enough to sell things is because she’s married to a guy who cheated on her while she was pregnant with his child.

But the fact is, it’s a flimsy little piece of garbage, not worth half the price she’s asking.

The necklace that she’s offering is made of gold vermeil, which is silver or bronze plated with gold. She offers both her signature and your custom message inscribed on it.

The price? A low, low TWO HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE DOLLARS.

This is an item you could pick up at Target for eighteen dollars and have inscribed for fifteen bucks at your local trophy and award store. And you wouldn’t have to have Melania’s name engraved as well.

Naturally, the internet went crazy when she made her announcement, which via tweet, read “Let’s honor and celebrate all mothers with love and gratitude. melaniatrump.com.”

Yes, Melania. Let’s start with Stormy Daniels, a mother who your husband cheated on you with while you were carrying Barron. Maybe then we can move on to Ivana Trump, who’s buried on his golf course, and maybe then Marla Maples, the mother of your stepdaughter, who Donald cheated on as well, with you.

The hypocrisy in this family — this organization — is remarkable. It’s like they have no shame.

Have a look, via former federal prosecutor and outspoken Trump critic Ron Filipkowski:

That looks like you could buy it in an Afterthoughts, which, not coincidentally, should be what Melania’s having right now.

At least one social media user felt the way I do: “We never hear from Melania, not that I’m complaining, until it’s time for her to sell something for profit. Is she donating the revenue to a women’s shelter or charity? Of course not, she’s grifting off Mother’s Day, $245 dollar necklace, and it’s disgusting.”
