First lady Melania Trump this week unveiled her new line of Christmas ornaments ― but fans hoping to celebrate the season with her designs are going to have to open up their wallets.
The brass-and-enamel ornaments of the 250 Collection ― named for next year’s semiquincentennial ― are selling for $75-$90 a pop, or $465 for the set of six.
Three of the ornaments depict U.S. landmarks (the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty and Mount Rushmore), while three feature patriotic imagery. All six have an engraving of the first lady’s signature as well as the “option” of a “unique digital collectible.”
The website also states that orders can take 10-12 weeks to ship, meaning ornaments purchased today may not arrive until just before Christmas.
“I am excited to continue this annual holiday tradition with the Celebrating America collection of ornaments,” Trump said in a statement cited by The Hill. “This year, I sought inspiration in our Nation’s upcoming 250th birthday, and all of the holiday blessings that we enjoy as Americans,”
She wasn’t always excited by holiday traditions.
During President Donald Trump’s previous term in office, she was recorded complaining about them.
“I’m working like a, my ass off at Christmas stuff,” she said in leaked recordings released by former friend and aide Stephanie Winston Wolkoff in 2020. “You know, who gives a fuck about Christmas stuff and decoration, but I need to do it, right?”
During Trump’s previous White House occupancy, she was also known for some unusual design choices around the holidays.
The new ornaments arrive at a time when prices are on the rise, with food prices jumping at their fastest monthly rate in nearly three years, according to USA Today. Beef and coffee just hit record highs despite President Donald Trump’s vow to cut prices on “day one.”
Trump’s critics were not impressed:
Griftiest, grifting couple ever.

I submit:
"Hey, want to buy some crap?"
So I guess this season she DOES “give a f*ck about the Christmas stuff and decorations”.
