Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, September 26, 2025

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.

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?"

It's just OUR money. Why should they care after all, there's more where that came from.

I wonder where this kitsch is manufactured? Allentown, PA?

BTW: Melanoma Trumpf is popular everywhere, including her own homeland: static.toiimg.com

Well she wasn't enthusiastic about them in 2020 because you know, she wasn't getting paid for doing it. Being first lady used to be an honor and not an opportunity to grift the public. But that was before we had a first lady who has picture of her ------ in soft porn all over the internet.

If she doesn't name them "The Fooking Chreestmas Ornaments" she will have missed a glorious opportunity.

Tell me again how she is the classiest first lady of all time.

Do you really need to ask?

I am sure her company was given a waiver from the tariffs from China.

Meanwhile Americans can look for the prescription drug prices to double next month thanks to the orange clown's 100% tariffs.

They're probably being time to arrive late (so sorry ... ) just after Christmas because they'll be absolute junk and they're just using the holidays as a sales pitch.

Also, can you even imagine having the chutzpah to put your signature on American historical and cultural icons?

Hey, somebody's got to pay for those tariffs.

Trumpf's granddaughter Kai (18) is grifting over-priced sweatshirts: www.newsnationnow.com

I wonder if Kai sits on Gramppa's lap like Ivanka used to.

And to think there was a time Republicans howled with patented faux righteous indignation about "Billy Beer."
