Melania Trump’s $90 Christmas ornament has detonated a political and emotional bomb under the White
House tree. Critics are furious. Supporters are defiant.
The country is watching a brass star turn into a symbol of privilege, resentment, and power.
As cameras pan over butterflies, Lego portraits, and crimson trees, one question keeps rip… Continues…
The “American Star” was meant to be a gleaming centerpiece of Melania Trump’s holiday vision; instead,
it became a lightning rod. At $90, the brass, red‑white‑and‑blue ornament,
engraved with her signature, landed in a nation already raw over inequality and political spectacle.
To many, it wasn’t just decoration—it was a price tag stamped onto the idea of Christmas at the people’s house.
Inside the White House, the 2025 theme, “Home Is Where the Heart Is,”
tried to soften her image with toys, natural trees, and patriotic touches.
Yet the ornament controversy cut through the carefully staged warmth, reviving accusations of
grifting and detachment. The same halls that displayed Lego portraits and a 20‑pound gingerbread
White House now host a debate over taste, ethics, and power.
Love her or loathe her, Melania’s holidays still manage to divide the country.
