While Hurricane Ian barreled into Florida, knocking out power to some 2.6 million people and destroying countless homes, former First Lady Melania Trump was touting her Christmas ornaments on Twitter.
The former first lady tweeted a link to a Tech Times story Wednesday shortly after 3pm, promoting her holiday collection of ornaments and NFTs for charity.
At approximately the exact same time, thousands of Floridians were watching in horror as their homes were ripped apart by what is now believed to be one of the biggest storms in US history.
With 150mph winds and 12ft surges, severe flooding continues to threaten the state and the number of fatalities are estimated to be in the 'hundreds.'
Stephanie Winston Wolkoff has slammed former first lady Melania Trump for promoting Christmas ornaments on Twitter while Hurricane Ian battered Florida
As thousands of Floridians braced for impact on Wednesday afternoon, Melania, 52, tweeted a link to Tech Times story about her holiday collection of ornaments and NFTs for charity
Around the same time Melania shared the article on Twitter, thousands of Floridians were watching in horror as their homes were ripped apart by what is now believed to be one of the biggest storms in US history
The timing of Melania's tweet of the article titled, 'Crypto Watch: China is World's Blockchain Leader and NFTs on the Rise with Apple, Melania Trump', couldn't have been worse.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, Melania's former senior advisor and former best friend, said she was not surprised she was tweeting about trivial matters at a such a troubling time.

'This is Melania…she is out of touch with reality and out of touch with the needs of people. For Melania, it is all about money and attention. Nothing, absolutely nothing has changed about her.

Earlier this month, Melania announced she is rolling out her own Christmas ornaments that come with an NFT
For $45, purchasers can get 'The Christmas Star,' a handcrafted ornament and its corresponding animated NFT version
Days after announcing her new Christmas ornament collection last week, Melania blasted her former senior advisor for editing recordings to make it seem as though the former first lady was not a fan of Christmas.
It's almost two years to the date when Melania was heard on tape saying: 'Who gives a f**k about Christmas stuff and decoration? But I have to do it.'
'Melania is absolutely deluded if she thinks she can justify what she said about Christmas,' Wolkoff told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview.
'Tell me, how does one edit that statement? You can't make this stuff up. Nothing in those audio recordings were diced or sliced. Nothing was edited. They speak for themselves.
'As I wrote in my book (Melania
