Very soon the Trump name will be associated with massive failure and lawlessness. If it isn't already. What a bunch of delusional narcissists they are.

The blonde is too harsh and she needs a shoulder cut or a bob. Mel appears to like the BeBest cheap look.

....

"Plaintiff (Melania) had the the unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as an extremely famous and well-known person, as well as a former professional model and brand spokesperson, and successful businesswoman, to launch a broad-based commercial brand in multiple product categories, each of which could have garnered multi-million dollar business relationships for a multi-year term during which Plaintiff is one of the most photographed women in the world. These product categories would have included, among other things, apparel, accessories, shoes, jewelry, cosmetics, hair care, skin care and fragrance."

The complaint from Melania Trump's attorney, Charles Harder, seeks legal redress for "the commercial harm done to her, her commercial brand and her business opportunities."

Two things are striking about this document:

(1) The suggestion that the Trumps intended to capitalize on the Trump presidency ("a multi-year term during which Plaintiff is one of the most photographed women in the world" ) by making money via new businesses (in addition to the many complicated ones the Trumps already operate), and

......

It's hard to find evidence of an extant thriving Melania Trump brand. The White House's biographical page of the first lady formerly touted her QVC line, but that text has since been removed. A search of QVC turns up no Melania Trump-branded products.

It's unclear whether Melania Trump plans to launch the product lines described in the suit, and how much money she would stand to profit if she did. One possible market indicator: Demand for Ivanka Trump-branded merchandise seems to have cooled, as retailers including Nordstrom, Belk, and Neiman Marcus have recently dropped her products from their websites."
