Melania Trump Prepares for White House Return with Christmas Duties and Ornament Sales

The incoming first lady plans to approach holiday traditions and her role under her own terms, balancing family priorities and her for-profit ventures.

Melania Trump is set to resume her role as first lady, including overseeing White House Christmas decorations, though she will prioritize her son Barron’s needs and approach duties on her own terms.
Leaked 2018 recordings of Melania expressing frustration with holiday decor responsibilities have resurfaced, reigniting public interest in her approach to the role.
She has launched a line of Christmas ornaments called 'Merry Christmas, America!' with prices ranging from $75 to $90, claiming a portion of proceeds benefit foster students, though specifics remain unclear.
Melania's ornaments, marketed as collectibles, were promoted during a Fox News appearance, drawing criticism for blending for-profit ventures with her role as first lady.
Sources suggest she may spend limited time at the White House, favoring Mar-a-Lago and Trump Tower, while continuing to manage her public duties selectively.
