Melania Trump had a lot of interesting things to say when she appeared on Fox & Friends recently.

The former – and incoming – First Lady spoke about her thoughts on the 2024 presidential election, which was won by her husband Donald Trump, as well as her controversial new memoir Melania, and her brand new collection of USA-themed Christmas ornaments.

Melania Trump Launches New ‘Patriotic’ Christmas Ornaments

The 54-year-old former model promoted her latest line of Christmas ornaments during the interview, which just like all of her merchandise and memorabilia, have always been met with controversy.

After discussing her husband’s transition to the White House, the mom-of-one talked about the collection. She claimed it was “very patriotic this year,” which seems like a fair comment considering the collection includes “USA Star” and “Vote Liberty” ornaments, which will cost $90 and $75 respectively.

According to the USA Memorabilia official website, the ornaments have all been handcrafted in the United States, and "Former First Lady Melania Trump's signature is included on each ornament."

"This is the third season that I design, and they are very special," Melania explained during the interview, adding: "As you could see, it's all red, white and blue. I was inspired by that. It's a great gift and a great collectible. They're beautiful."

What Controversial Comments Did Melania Trump Previously Make About Decorating The White House For Christmas?

Melania's Christmas ornaments collection has been met with controversy from the start, due to her seemingly negative feelings about decorating the White House for Christmas previously leaking.

If you recall, secret recordings taken in 2018 revealed that she was very frustrated with her job of decorating the White House for Christmas when she was First Lady. Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, the author of Melania and Me, secretly recorded conversations with Melania in the summer of 2018, and she essentially said, in her frustration, "who cares about Christmas?"

Her exact (and more expletive-filled) words were: "I'm working my [expletive] off with the Christmas stuff that, you know, who gives a [expletive] about Christmas stuff and decorations but I need to do it, right?"
