Melania debuted her own line of Christmas ornaments.
The landmarks include the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, and Mount Rushmore. All of the ornaments also have President Trump’s signature and an "option" for a "unique digital collectible." According to the website, the orders will take approximately 10-12 weeks to ship, and the ornaments are priced at $75-90 apiece, with $465 netting the entire set.
"I am excited to continue this annual holiday tradition with the Celebrating America collection of ornaments," Melania said in a statement about her new collection.
“This year, I sought inspiration in our Nation’s upcoming 250th birthday, and all of the holiday blessings that we enjoy as Americans,” she added.
Melania Trump's Christmas Scandal
Melania Trump ranted about Christmas in leaked audio years ago.
The topic of Christmas and Melania is a dicey one, as leaked recordings from Donald Trump's first term in office showed she was not a fan of having to get the White House ready for the big holiday.
"I'm working like a, my a-- off at Christmas stuff," she said in a recording that was leaked by her former friend and aide Stephanie Winston Wolkoff in 2020.
"You know," she elaborated, "who gives a f--- about Christmas stuff and decoration, but I need to do it, right?"
After the leaked recordings, Melania accused Stephanie of "spitefully" editing recordings, which made it sound as though "Christmas is not significant to me."
"The fact that Wolkoff deleted this part of our conversation, where I expressed hope to reunite families split apart at the southern border, exposes her malicious intent," she said in a statement, noting Christmas is a very important holiday to her and her family.

"They love to grift," another person shared. "Money is their 'god."
