Melania Trump seems to be embracing the festive spirit as she prepares for her role as First Lady, showcasing her latest Christmas ornament designs during an appearance on “Fox & Friends.” The 54-year-old expressed pride in her creations, describing them as “very patriotic,” and highlighting that this is her third year designing Christmas ornaments for the season.
Trump introduced her collection, which features items like the $90 “USA Star” and the $75 “Vote Liberty,” emphasizing the red, white, and blue theme that reflects her inspiration. “It’s a great gift and a great collectible. They’re beautiful,” she stated, encouraging viewers to consider her ornaments.
The discussion also touched on past controversies, including secret recordings from 2018 where Trump voiced frustration regarding her responsibilities around Christmas decor and public perceptions related to her husband’s administration, including issues such as child separation policies. In those recordings, she expressed her exasperation with the attention given to her Christmas efforts amidst major national issues.
In response to the 2018 revelations, a spokesperson for Melania Trump defended her, stating that the comments were taken out of context and focusing on the First Lady’s commitment to her family and her role in serving the country.
This year, as Melania Trump steps into the holiday season, there’s a sense of optimism surrounding her ornaments. They symbolize not just festive cheer but also an expression of American pride. The hope is that the holiday spirit will encourage unity and positivity, making the season a celebratory one for all.
