In what has become an annual cash grab—or beloved holiday tradition for MAGA minions, former First Lady Melania Trump unveiled her latest Christmas ornament collection on social media on Saturday.

This latest bunch follows a September launch of ornaments in both 2022 and 2023.

The former FLOTUS posted on her Instagram and X:

"To all of my passionate collectors, I am thrilled to unveil 2024’s Limited Edition Ornament series, 'Merry Christmas, AMERICA!'."
"Each unique piece captures the magic of the holiday season. Let these ornaments inspire cherished memories & bring warmth to your entire family. Happy collecting!"

But the comment section was less than kind.

Many people reminded Melania of the infamous, decidedly-not-merry Christmas thoughts she shared with her former friend and aide Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, who shared the 2018 recording in 2020.

Melania said:

"I’m working like a—my a** off at Christmas stuff. You know, who gives a f*ck about Christmas stuff and decoration, but I need to do it, right?"

Others pointed out the 100%+ price increase on the ornaments compared to last year despite the GOP's rhetoric about the economy under President Biden and their purported sympathy for the working class.

The overwhelming majority of Instagram responses were not coming from fans of the former FLOTUS.

Elon Musk's X—which tends to lean right ever since Musk reinstated numerous banned accounts—was also highly critical.






As with last year, ornaments come with the option of adding an NFT to the purchase.

Melania Trump hasn't disclosed prior year sales figures.

The Oscars Are Moving To YouTube Starting In 2029—And Everyone Is Making The Same Joke

In 2029, viewers will be able to watch influencer vlogs, conspiracy explainers, AI slop, and the Oscars ceremony all in the same place. After more than half a century on broadcast television, the Academy Awards are officially moving to YouTube, where the ceremony will stream exclusively beginning with the 101st Oscars.

It’s a seismic shift for Hollywood’s biggest night. The Oscars were first broadcast on NBC in 1953, bounced between NBC and ABC throughout the 1960s and ’70s, and eventually settled into a long, uninterrupted run on ABC starting in 1976. That partnership will officially end with the 100th Oscars ceremony in 2028, closing out more than 50 years on network television.

JFK's Grandnephew Offers Blunt Reality Check After Kennedy Center Board Votes To Add Trump's Name

Former Massachusetts Democratic Representative Joseph Kennedy III made a very important point when he explained why the name of the Kennedy Center can't just be changed on a whim after White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that the Kennedy Center Board had voted to rename the performing arts center the "Trump-Kennedy Center."

Congress officially named the center after former President John F. Kennedy in 1964, following his assassination. According to Donald A. Ritchie, who served as Senate historian from 2009 to 2015, because Congress bestowed the name, only Congress has the authority to legally change it.

Trump Announces 'Patriot Games' For America's 250th Birthday—And Everyone's Making The Same Grim Comparison

President Donald Trump invited comparisons to The Hunger Games after announcing several plans for America's 250th anniversary, including the "Patriot Games," in which one male and one female high schooler from each state and territory compete in an "unprecedented four-day athletic event."

The Hunger Games, written by Suzanne Collins, is the story of Katniss Everdeen, a young woman who finds herself up against a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line.
