Amazon reviewers have fun with Trump's $149 Christmas ornament
The election is over and Donald Trump is the president-elect, but there's still plenty of campaign merchandise to be had. One item for sale on the Trump campaign website is a Christmas ornament designed to look like one of the iconic "Make America Great Again" hats.
This particular item has drawn attention in recent days, primarily because it is finished in 24-karat gold and costs $149.
It is also available for sale on Amazon — which claims it is actually 14K gold — at an even steeper asking price of $222 and up. As with Megyn Kelly's recently published memoir, there appears to be a politically-motivated effort to bring down the ornament's Amazon rating. Of the 121 reviews published as of 6:45 p.m. ET Friday, 75% gave the Trumpian holiday decoration the lowest rating of one star.

Some of the one-star reviews poked fun at Trump and his victory despite losing the popular vote, saying they were stuck with the ornament even though they didn't choose it. Others just mocked the president-elect. Here are some samples:
Yuge ornament
Despite ordering a more reasonable ornament, this one arrived. It. Is. Yuge. It's absolutely yuge. It's the biggest ornament. Yuge.
I hung it on my tree, but it is so yuge that it has totally unbalanced my whole tree. No matter where I hang it, the tree leans waaaaaay over to the far right.
Not what I wanted
Every autumn my family chooses a new ornament to go onto our holiday tree. This year it was between this ornament and another one that is less flashy, less gaudy, and just overall nicer. During our family meeting we overwhelmingly chose the other ornament but somehow we still ended up with this one. We're not sure what happened.
The Blue Ornament Was Better
There was a blue ornament, it was smarter than this one, had a lifetime of experience, supported trees of all colors and beliefs, and (get this) was loved by two million more people than this ornament but somehow we're stuck with this ornament.
Great for your drunken uncle
Just the alt-right size to fit on the head of the tRump supporter in your family. Great for your drunken uncle, or your neo-nazi punk cousin. Warning! This ornament will ruin your data plan, as it's constantly spewing inane tweets at 3:30am.
Sad.
Low energy ornament.
I will not be Putin this on my tree
While it says that it will "Make America Great Again" after it hangs on your tree for a while you get the distinct impression that this is the center of a Russian nesting ornament and it is being sold to us under false pretenses.
It's like a disease of the mind
Some of my family members ordered this. We fought about why it clashed with everything we stood for, but they can't seem to hear anything we say. They keep calling us losers and liars. It's like a disease of the mind, this not hearing anything. Soon, the holidays will be over and we are hoping by then the thing will be put away where it belongs.
