Baby showers and baby birthday parties are standard practice: fine. Consider that battle lost. But giving a baby — specifically, a Trump baby — a golden carriage with a built-in chandelier, as Ellen DeGeneres apparently did in 2006? That is simply too far. For a lot of reasons.
A 13-year-old People slideshow including Ellen’s lavish gift to then-infant Barron resurfaced this week, after Ellen was criticized for her friendship with former President George W. Bush. This is indicative of the same sort of multimillionaire goggles through which very rich people tend to perceive other very rich people as their equals and friends, even if some of the very rich people are gay and some of them are widely considered to be war criminals.
Babies like mobiles, sure. I was briefly with a baby this weekend, and he could not get enough of the mobile positioned above his changing station. There were little stuffed animals hanging from it: an elephant, a bear, a giraffe. I asked him which was his favorite, though obviously he didn’t answer. I don’t want to put words in that baby’s mouth, but I doubt he actually has a favorite, or even cares very much what is hanging from the mobile.
But a chandelier? Made of gold? It doesn’t even play music, or spin alluringly. Did little Barron really give a shit? And functionally, what has a chandelier ever been good for, apart from falling on a bad guy in a movie? Seems dangerous. In the People picture, Melania is depicted holding Barron while pushing the empty golden chandelier stroller, which defeats the purpose, and is also very creepy.
orange_grimace “Oh my god Ellen you DIDN’T”
The real one is much more obscene than the story illustration. Ellen and her friends with different opinions LOL.
I’m really starting to despise TheEllenShow
👀
Yeah I mean all her so called good will and generosity comes from corporate funds in exchange for advertising
You people are disgusting for going after Ellen like this.
' In the People picture, Melania is depicted holding Barron while pushing the empty golden chandelier stroller, which defeats the purpose, and is also very creepy.'
I don't get why people like Ellen so much. She's cool and all but I've never understood why. It's easy-to-watch tv like Fallon, no substance, ephemeral entertainment.
So what & whats the problem... Right away the new york magazine trying to create bad vibes on her,, please stop cut the bullshit please.
Seriously? Who hired this person to write? What editor decided to publish this? Ellen is a COMEDIAN and NOT a Trump supporter. She's also extremely generous to great causes. Maybe the writer & editor are just homophobes, because this is such a worthless, stupid piece of writing.
So what? Please don’t try and slam TheEllenShow she’s a nice lady, and I’m not changing my mind about her. Geez Louise HillaryClinton and BillClinton used to hang with trump too.
Ellen Thegenerous. Who wouldn't like to have a friend like Ellen? Raise your hand...
Money ruins people.
Ellen DeGeneres is awful
