True Colors

If there was ever a day when Donnie and Melania showed their true colors, yesterday was it.

Expanding his product line beyond somewhat affordable trading cards, patriotic Bibles, and golden sneakers, Donnie touted The Official Trump Watch Collection on Truth Social. It included 147 gold (naturally) watches inscribed with Trump’s logo for the quite unaffordable price of $100 K. “You’re going to love them. Would make a great Christmas gift. Don’t wait. They will go fast.,” Donnie tweeted (or whatever you do on Truth Social).

Who needs 147 (presumably) identical watches? Who has $100 K burning a hole in his pocket? The typical purchaser of The Official Trump Watch Collection might be someone seeking favors from (shudder) President Trump who would appear in the Oval Office with Official Watches up and down his arms saying “What time is it? It’s Trump Time!!!” Donnie would be impressed.

While Donnie was touting his watches yesterday morning, Melania emerged from hibernation to tout her forthcoming book on (what else?) Fox & Friends. Melania presented a viewpoint of 2024 America where people are not coughing up $100 K for gold watches. “The country is suffering. People are not able to buy the usual necessities for their families.”

I’m unsure what Melania considers “usual necessities”, but it is probably not trading cards. patriotic Bibles, or golden sneakers. It is definitely not a $100 K watch collection. “Usual necessities” might very well include Melania’s book and the Lady Liberty jewelry she is selling. People cannot buy them because of inflation under the Dems!

Melania continued, “People were prospering more under my husband and everything was great.”

Remember COVID, Melania? Remember how your husband said, “It’s no worse than the flu” and “It will be gone by summer”? Remember how one million Americans died? Remember how the country shut down and how unemployment spiked at more than 10%?

Yesterday was likely a prosperous day for the Trumps as they peddled Donnie’s watches and Melania’s book. Are they the Saviors of America or hucksters? They showed their true colors yesterday.
