Following a nearly four-year period of avoiding the public eye, Melania Trump re-emerged last month with a best-selling memoir, just ahead of her husband’s election to a second term.

Now, Melania has announced her next project: An “exclusive collection” of digital images, called “On the Move.”

Per The Hill, the photo collection has a price tag of $195.

“This exclusive collection of images showcases First Lady Melania Trump’s dynamic life, featuring her in various settings – from her office and the campaign trail to her home,” the website copy says. “The photographs, captured by the esteemed Belgian photographer Regine Mahaux, offer a poignant glimpse into her fast-moving life.”

The digital photos are “permanently minted on the Solana blockchain.”

“I am pleased to share my journey — through photographs — with fans and collectors,” the former and future First Lady said in a statement, as cited by The Hill.

One place Melania won’t be this week is the White House. Per CNN, while Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with President Biden at the White House on Wednesday, Melania will skip the customary meeting with First Lady Jill Biden. CNN’s sources cited a “prior scheduling conflict” for the lack of a meeting, although a separate report from the New York Post stated that Melania is skipping the meeting for another reason: Lingering anger over the raid in 2022 on Mar-a-Lago, which led to Trump’s indictment for mishandling classified documents.

“She ain’t going,”  a source told the Post. “Jill Biden’s husband authorized the FBI snooping through her underwear drawer. The Bidens are disgusting.” The source, unusually opinionated by unnamed-source standards, added that “Jill Biden isn’t someone Melania needs to meet.”

It was the FBI that raided Mar-a-Lago in August of 2022, leading to Trump’s federal indictment that now appears likely to be vacated. It’s not clear why Jill Biden would be to blame for such an action.

The customary meeting between the incoming and outgoing presidents and first ladies didn’t happen after the 2020 election, mostly because Donald Trump at that point had not acknowledged that he lost the election. Melania Trump did meet with Michelle Obama after the 2016 election.
