Melania Trump desires the general public to know that Christmas is an “important” time for her and that she is “devoted” to the vacation, regardless of what the nasty mainstream information media—and the previous first girl herself—have stated up to now. Why, you ask? Perhaps as a result of she’s hawking Christmas ornaments and NFTs, simply in time for the vacation season.

News of Trump’s Christmas decoration and NFT assortment dropped final week, sparking incredulity throughout the internet in addition to references to a recorded conversation from 2018 by which the then-first girl stated, “Who gives a fuck about Christmas stuff and decorations?”

In a press release to Breitbart News on Tuesday, the previous first girl stated that her “untrustworthy” former aide Stephanie Winston Wolfkoff, who was fired by Trump in 2018 and has since written a tell-all ebook titled Melania and Me, “spitefully edited and released our conversation to create the perception that Christmas is not significant to me.”

“I will personally set the record straight because the mainstream media has failed to provide context for these misleading exchanges,” Trump stated. “Christmas is an important time for me, my family, and the American people, and my devotion to the holiday is personal and profoundly serious.”

Trump claims she was expressing her frustration over the scenario on the border at the moment. It was the identical 12 months she visited detained migrant youngsters in a Texas border city and made waves with a Zara jacket emblazoned with “I really don’t care. Do U?” on the again.

“Most people will agree that reuniting migrant children with their parents is more important than discussing Christmas decorations during summertime,” Trump informed Breitbart. “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.”

Trump stated in Wolkoff’s recording, “I say that I’m working on Christmas planning for the Christmas, and they said, ‘Oh, what about the children?’ That they were separated. Give me a fucking break. Were they were saying anything when Obama did that?”

Wolkoff, in the meantime, slammed Trump for her feedback to Breitbart on Twitter and referred to as the previous first girl “pathetic.”

“Melania Trump needs to attack ME to sell Christmas ornament NFT’s. What is Melania worried about? She can’t sell ornaments on her own?” Wolkoff tweeted on Tuesday.

The “American Christmas Collection” is made up of six ugly brass ornaments that price a whopping $35 every, all engraved with Trump’s signature. In addition, she’s additionally promoting a brass decoration she personally designed referred to as “The Christmas Star” for $45 on MelaniaTrump.com.

A purchase order of the bodily decoration is required in an effort to redeem the corresponding 3D animated NFT. According to Trump’s web site and USA Memorabilia, the positioning promoting them, the NFTs shall be minted on the Solana blockchain and be obtainable in restricted portions. A portion of the gross sales will go to Trump’s “Fostering the Future” initiative, which goals to offer scholarships for foster children. How a lot of the gross sales will go to this initiative is unclear.

As for the design of the ornaments themselves, they certain are… one thing. Besides the Christmas Star, they resemble the generic designs you would possibly see on present tags. I’d have most well-liked one thing akin to Trump’s creepy Christmas forest decorations in 2017. At least one thing like that may be distinctive, albeit creepy.
