Melania Trump has recently drawn criticism for selling a clover-shaped necklace for Mother’s Day, priced at $245, with the money going directly into her pocket. This move has been seen as an extension of her husband Donald Trump’s previous ventures where he sold merchandise and events for personal gain, often causing controversy.
Melania announced the necklace on her Instagram account, describing it as a piece with three connected hearts and the phrase “Love & Gratitude” on one side, while the other side can be personalized with initials. She inscribed her necklace with the initials “DJT,” “MKT,” and “BWT,” referencing her husband Donald Trump, her son Barron, and possibly herself.
In her Instagram post, Melania Trump emphasized the importance of self-care, suggesting that it’s equally important to honor mothers while also prioritizing one’s own well-being. This, however, has not gone over well with social media users who have criticized her for allegedly selling products to fans for personal gain. Comments across various platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok have described her actions as “grifting,” with some users expressing disdain for what they see as a self-serving attitude from the former First Lady.
Critics claim that the Trump family has a history of grifting and that this latest move by Melania Trump continues that trend. One Twitter user remarked, “The grifting never stops with this family.” Others have described her as selfish, with one comment stating, “Melania does not care for other people.
She is for herself only.” Another user referenced Donald Trump’s legal troubles, suggesting that Melania’s sales were a way to cover her husband’s legal costs, saying, “Someone needs to make the money for the family now that her husband owes billions after his lawsuits.” Overall, the reaction on social media to Melania Trump’s necklace sale has been overwhelmingly negative, with many seeing it as another example of the Trumps using their fame for personal profit.
