http://www.rawstory.com/2017/01/redesigned-white-house-website-plugs-melania-trumps-qvc-jewelry-line/
The newly redesigned WhiteHouse.gov website may omit any mention of climate change, civil rights or LGBTQ equality, but it does throw in a plug for First Lady Melania Trumps line of jewelry for QVC.
According to Fast Company, the First Ladys homepage touts her modeling career, her penchant and passion for the arts, architecture, design, fashion and beauty and her jewelry collection for the QVC Quality, Value and Convenience home shopping network.
Melania is also a successful entrepreneur, reads her bio. In April 2010, Melania Trump launched her own jewelry collection, Melania Timepieces & Jewelry, on QVC.
In a 2012 appearance on the QVC network, Mrs. Trump said, Its my passion for beauty and fashion to design something for women across the country that they could have fun with something that they could afford that you could easily buy on QVC and really special pieces that you could wear from morning until night.

Although I've never watched QVC, I think it would be a good idea to bombard them with emails or calls, telling them it would be a serious breach of ethics to promote this line of jewelry, given that it is now mentioned on the White House website. And we will never (wink wink) shop with them again until they sever the tie.
