Former First Lady Melania Trump has been notably absent from her husband Donald Trump’s side during his presidential campaign, leading to speculation about her whereabouts and intentions. It appears that she has been quietly working on a project of her own.
In recent years, Melania’s appearances alongside her husband had become less frequent, as she seemed to distance herself from her controversial spouse. However, on Tuesday, September 26, a significant development occurred in a civil case when a judge ruled that Donald Trump had committed fraud. The ruling stated that he had inflated the value of his properties to secure better loan terms and reduce his tax obligations. In the midst of this ongoing drama, Melania Trump made an unexpected announcement that had nothing to do with her husband or his legal troubles.
The former supermodel revealed her plans to launch a new line of Christmas decorations, a surprising move for a woman who once famously questioned the importance of Christmas decorations.
Melania chose X as the platform to make her announcement, the same platform where her husband’s name has intermittently trended due to his election campaign and legal issues. Her message was concise yet patriotic:
“I am pleased to continue USA Memorabilia’s tradition of celebrating the season with A Red, White and Blue Christmas. This year, I found myself looking to my love for our great nation for inspiration. May everyone experience an abundance of peace & love during the holiday season.”
Melania’s previous comments about Christmas have resurfaced, particularly her controversial decision in 2018 to decorate the White House with blood-red Christmas trees, which drew criticism for breaking from tradition. In a leaked recording, she was heard responding to public comments, saying, “You know, who gives a care about Christmas stuff and decoration, but I need to do it, right?”
The post on X includes a link to her business website, USA Memorabilia, where a select range of Christmas decorations titled ‘A Red, White and Blue Christmas’ is available for purchase. These decorations come in five different styles, priced at $35 to $45 each. They even offer “corresponding digital collectibles.” Notably, each ornament features the signature of Former First Lady Melania Trump and is proudly handcrafted in the United States.
Melania’s unexpected venture into the world of Christmas decorations has surprised many, given the ongoing scrutiny surrounding her husband’s legal troubles. Nevertheless, it appears she is forging her own path with this patriotic holiday collection.
