Melania Trump’s approach to Christmas is once again under scrutiny. This time, critics accused the First Lady of turning the holiday into a cash grab through the release of a $90 brass ornament unveiled alongside the official 2025 decorations.
The product, named the “American Star,” is part of a six-piece collection launched by the First Lady as part of her now-annual foray into holiday merchandising.
It was quickly labeled “tone-deaf” and “opportunistic” by critics who questioned the sincerity of her holiday efforts in the first place.
