Melania Trump Blasted For Promoting $175 Jewelry Piece For Memorial Day Amid Husband's Trial

Melania Trump recently came under fire for promoting a pricy piece of jewelry with a patriotically themed pendant from the USA Memorabilia collection.

The backlash comes after Melania launched a $245 necklace to "express immense gratitude and honor all mothers" on Mother's Day.

The former first lady has yet to speak on her husband, Donald Trump's hush money trial. She was last seen attending their son Barron's high school graduation.

Taking to her Instagram account yesterday, Melania reshared a post from the USA Memorabilia Fortitude collection that featured a pair of necklaces for sale on its website, months after the mother-of-one sold Christmas ornaments through the site.

The jewelry, which she also posted on X (formerly Twitter), comes in two variants: the Bravery and Liberty versions. The former comes in a stainless steel and gold version that features an engraved image of a soldier and the United States flag. The stainless steel version sells for $125 each, while the gold-plated design costs $175.

The Liberty version is also available in stainless steel and gold plated and retails for the same price. It features an eagle in flight in front of the U.S. flag, with the word "liberty" engraved on it.

"The Fortitude Collection celebrates our service members, our Nation, and our freedom," a statement on USA Memorabilia's website reads in part. The website adds that each of the designs "can be engraved with names, initials, significant dates, and symbols to create a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry. Those who purchase a design can also receive a limited-edition digital collectible."

People mocked Melania's move in the comments section of her Instagram and X posts, with many noting that she has yet to say a word publicly regarding her husband's court battles.

One person wrote, "You Trumps are pathetic. Constantly conning people out of their hard-earned money."

"Yeah, sure, the proceeds go to veterans the same way the Trump Cancer charity money went to buy self-portraits! These people are DISGUSTING!!!!" another individual blew hot.

"Very cheap items sold at very high prices to people who need to choose between food, medicine, or baubles sold by a billionaire who will never look at them under any other circumstances!" commented a third person.

Another individual noted that the situation was "So sad and desperate," adding, "A grift at the expense of the same soldiers your husband called 'suckers' and 'losers'? Clearly, there is no bottom to the Trump Grift machine."

It comes days after the former model turned up in style for Barron's high school graduation. Accompanied by former President Trump and her father, Victor Knavs, Melania stole the spotlight, having spared no expense for her elegant outfit.

She wore a $5,000 black Dior 30 Montaigne Bar blazer, a $900 white Michael Kors Double Crepe Sable Pencil Skirt skirt, and a $630 Gucci straw hat, totaling $7,000.

According to the DailyMail, the coat "features notch lapels, fabric-covered signature buttons, and slit pockets that delicately highlight the waist," while the skirt "falls to the knee with a back slit for timeless elegance."

Melania completed the look with a $630 Gucci Grosgrain-Trimmed Glittered Straw hat and white heels that appeared to be Manolo Blahnik's $745 BB 90 Linen Pumps.

Melania, alongside Trump and Knavs, sat at the front row under the watchful eyes of two police snipers, U.S. Marshalls, and deputies from the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office.

Having graduated from the exclusive Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Barron's future is understood to be Melania's priority in her marriage to Trump, having renegotiated her prenup more than once.

A source recently told the DailyMail that Melania has locked herself in a "tight bubble" at their sprawling Mar-a-Lago resort and keeps the eighteen-year-old in it amid Trump's ongoing hush money trial.

"He's so regal. He's a little Melania," the source said of the 6foot7 gentleman. Although much is not known about Barron's views, it's been reported that they hugely align with those of his father, Trump.

According to People magazine, a tipster noted that Melania remains the sole decision-maker over Barron's life and is already helping him find a suitable college.

"Melania will keep her hand on Barron's future just as much going forward as she has throughout his early and current school years," a source told the news outlet. "He is her world. She is proud of him, and she is the primary decision maker on Barron and his future."

The insider continued, "He is still young and has a lot in front of him. She wants him to be happy and settled in his future endeavors. She wants him to pursue what he wants to do. He is smart and has his own opinions, but they are still being shaped."
