Melania Trump's decision to shill patriotic pendants for Memorial Day has reminded the internet how much it enjoys mocking Trump family "grift."
The former first lady announced on Instagram Thursday the launch of her new jewelry line "The Fortitude Collection" and faced almost immediate mockery.
"When will this disturbing family stop grifting?" replied Instagram user lyle.murphy357. Added panther.10883, "Fresh from the discount bin of the Liberace House of C---."

The gold plated and stainless steel pendants are for sale on the USA Memorabilia website at $175 and $125 a pop, respectively.
The "Bravery" medallion depicts a soldier standing in front of a waving American flag and the "Liberty" pendant shows an eagle and, again, the flag.
"The Fortitude Collection celebrates our service members, our Nation, and our freedom," the website explains.
Commented Instagram user jeffrywbb, "Ms Girl what in the entire f--- is this?"
While the website notes the jewelry was made in America, cynic @ConservBlue2020 replied, "It’s probably made in China for like 10 bucks."
X user Renegade Cowboy also scorned the price tag and the purveyor.
"There is nothing these scumbags won’t try to sell for a paycheck," he wrote. "This whole family is nothing but gifters [sic], moochers and con men."

This is not the first time Melania Trump's jewelry has spurred mockery in recent weeks, even from a former aide.
Stephanie Grisham admitted on CNN last month that she was trying not to laugh about the former First Lady's decision to hawk "ugly" $245 Mother's Day necklaces, or where the money would go.
"Nothing on the website suggests that the money raised is going to charity or anything like that," asked Erin Burnett. "Do you have any sense what she could be selling the jewelry for? Is this just money for herself? ...To raise money for the legal defense?"
"I tried not to laugh at the thought that she would be raising money for his defense," Grisham replied. "That's not going to be it."
