Not just Donald or his sons: This is the new line of products that Melania Trump is selling to MAGA followers

When asked by an Australian journalist how he managed his businesses and what money he makes despite being president, Donald cried like an angry schoolchild that fell over into the mud in front of his friends.

“In my opinion, you are hurting Australia very much right now... Your leader is coming over to see me very soon. I’m going to tell him about you,” Trump told the reporter, who presumably went back home happy with his response.

As such, I won’t talk about how much money Trump has made during his time as president, or how he has seen his fortune increase by millions since taking office due to various business exploits — crypto, an international licensing business, and plenty of court cases — he has his hands in despite being in a position where, historically, those in office have gotten rid of their assets.

I also won’t mention the fact that his family is now, after the second election win, worth an estimated $10 billion. According to Forbes, the family has “nearly doubled its net worth since last year’s election.”

I won’t mention that.

I will mention Melania Trump, however, and how she is adding to her First Lady duties by selling Christmas ornaments. Just to be clear, she is not going door-to-door with a catalogue of photos and coupons. Instead, she has created a set of brass-and-enamel ornaments that are selling for $75-$90 each, or $465 for the set of six.

Of course, patriotism is the theme, as with much of Trump’s authoritarian regime: we get an Empire State Building, a Statue of Liberty and a Mount Rushmore one, while the others feature patriotic imagery such as — wait for it — a star and a flag. Contain yourself.

The Hill cited a statement from Melania in which she revealed she was “excited to continue this annual holiday tradition with the Celebrating America collection of ornaments.”

“This year,” she added, “I sought inspiration in our Nation’s upcoming 250th birthday, and all of the holiday blessings that we enjoy as Americans."
