Melania Trump has been dodging this nagging rumor that she hates Christmas for
some time and she's not going to stand for it anymore.
She is suddenly according to Approx, a big fan of the holiday, and
she does not appreciate former associates of hers spreading this gossip
that she despises the holiday.
She says she wants to set the record straight on her attitude towards
Christmas.
This is two years after she was heard in an audio leak,
which we covered at the time from a former senior adviser saying,
quote, who gives an f about the Christmas stuff and decorations.
Now, in defense of Melania Trump, you have to understand the context.
She was frustrated when she said that, and
also it wasn't like she just said that she hated Christmas or implied it.
She also implied that she didn't care about kids in cages in that exact same
audio clip.
So there's a lot of awful stuff to go around.
But she has put out this statement, I'm not going to read the whole thing.
She does say though that Stephanie Wolkoff,
who had recorded the conversation had spitefully edited and released that.
And that is entirely possible.
It's possible that there was other stuff that she said that would have
added nuance.
So let's allow for that possibility.
She says, Christmas is an important time for me, my family, and the American
people and my devotion to the holiday is personal and profoundly serious.
And it is personal,
at least insofar as she might be able to personally profit from it.
It is serious in the level of grift she's going to apply to it because while
Christmas might dwell in her heart, she would also like it to dwell in her wallet.
She is releasing a series of Christmas, NFTs.
Yes, nonfungible tokens,
which society has apparently moved on from over the last year.
The former first lady is still doubling down.
If we can bring up this Be Best NFT, you can have that for $35 or
you can have it for free by pausing this video and
screenshotting and it's literally the exact same thing.
But anyway, Mondo, she suddenly feels the spirit of the holiday,
at least when it comes to crypto based stuff.
>> What in the world is Be Best got to do with Christmas that's so.
>> I don't know.
>> She's thinking with this Be Best.
It sounds like she should add another E to that and try to sell it to Bee harvesters,
you know what I mean?
I'm over this Be Best.
Whatever you're editing.
However, something's editing, I mean if you're like, who cares about Christmas,
gives a f about Christmas and stuff, that's all I need to hear,
you can't clean it up all, you said where you are, you call it Christmas and
stuff, who cares about baby Jesus and the dirty diaper, who cares?
So I think all this is absolute, like you said,
didn't she already try NFTs and fail epically.
>> She did, yeah, she already did a roll round of NFTs.
>> I think this is this is her, you see her trying to make Christmas an American
holiday which is, Christmas is very important to America,
this is all about trying to sell something.
Like you said it's a serious grift and it's absolutely disgusting and transparent
and I think we had a great comment about like how low this family is willing to go
to make money off of anything, nothing is sacred to them except for dollars.
Even the ones they lie about heaven.
>> 100%, they like those most of all.
Yeah no, I will say though I would definitely try Bee Best honey if somebody
would like to come out with that, I think that that could do well.
But anyway, yeah there's another NFT, it's the Christmas Star,
this one I think at least comes with an ornament, so for
$45 you don't just get a stupid JPEG, you get an actual ornament so what
you're buying is an overpriced Christmas star but at least you have something.
Anyway, it seems pathetic but it also seems a little bit appealing.
You know what, I'd like to get on the game too, so whoever would like to,
the first person to screenshot my face and Mondale's face you own this NFT.
And if anyone else claims to you can sue them in federal court.
It's only one person, who ever got it first.
And anyone else, we will take you to court and we will sue you for every cent you
have, anyway, wait, hold on, Fascist killer is the name says, got it.
That's legal now.
There's nothing you can do about that.
Anyway, Melania Trump.
She is the true grinch.
