Melania Trump only follows two people on social media and one of them is pretty random

While Melania Trump has 2.8 million followers on Instagram, her following list is pretty bare - in fact, she only follows two accounts in total.

While you can probably guess that one of them is her husband, President Donald Trump, the other one is rather random.

It's not any family members - or her son Barron Trump. Any guesses?

Turns out, the second account 54-year-old Melania follows belongs to a page called @usamemorabilia.

And while it might seem very peculiar at first glance, after a deep dive into what the page is all about, it actually makes sense.

First off, the account seems to promote Melania, covering her press interviews and her memoir, Melania, which was released last year.

It also posts a lot of products, such as jewellery and other bits and bobs including - unsurprisingly - a lot of US memorabilia.

Here's where Melania comes in.

Did you know that the first lady actually sells jewellery and other collectibles over on her website, melaniatrump.com? These include digital prints, jewellery and ornaments as well as her books.

It's believed that a portion of profits are donated to charitable causes.

While it's not clear if the page, USA Memorabilia, is affiliated with Melania, it seems to be selling some of her items online.

The website explains: "USA Memorabilia is a premiere platform featuring United States memorabilia. Just like other collectibles, such as stamps or baseball cards, you are purchasing a unique piece of history."

Tyla has reached out to the page to clarify whether it is connected to the first lady.

You might be wondering how Melania is able to sell memorabilia, considering her position in government.

However, while the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution forbids an elected person from profiting from their role, the first lady is an honorary position.

"Because the first lady is not a federal employee, the conflict of interest law does not apply to her. If the conflict of interest law were applicable to the president, however, her financial interests would be imputed to him and could pose conflicts of interest," Walter Shaub, former director of the Office of Government Ethics under Barack Obama, told the Daily Mail.

"The president is not covered by the conflict of interest statute, but the Department of Justice has advised presidents to conduct themselves as though the conflict of interest law applied to them."

On Monday (20 January) Trump, 78, was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States following his election triumph back in November.

And he's already signed a number of executive orders since moving back into the White House.

All the executive orders Donald Trump has signed so far

Policy recognising only 'two genders'

The president signed an order which will make it an official policy that there are only 'two genders'.

The policy reads: "Agencies will cease pretending that men can be women and women can be men when enforcing laws that protect against sex discrimination.

"These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality."

The order will also bring to an end 'wasteful' government programmes which promote diversity and inclusivity, as well as 'defending women from gender ideology extremism'.

Free speech

The president accused the previous administration of 'trampling free speech rights by censoring Americans’ speech' and vowed to restore freedom of speech.

The order states it will 'ensure that no Federal Government officer, employee, or agent engages in or facilitates any conduct that would unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen' and will 'end censorship of protected speech'.

Leaving the World Health Organisation

The president accused the organisation of fumbling the COVID-19 pandemic and said the US would no longer be 'ripped off' by it.

While signing a document to have the US leave the health agency, Trump said: "World Health ripped us off, everybody rips off the United States. It’s not going to happen anymore.”

TikTok ban

As expected, Trump signed an executive order which hits pause on the US' ban of the popular app, allowing time for an 'appropriate course forward'.

“I guess I have a warm spot for TikTok that I didn’t have originally,” he said.

January 6 pardons

Trump's loss in the 2020 election led to the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, in turn resulting in the arrests of a number of Trump supporters.

And as anticipated, the president has wasted no time in issuing pardons for offenders. Trump said he's pardoned around 1,500 people and issued six commutations.

Immigration

Trump has issued a slew of immigration-related policies during his first day back in the White House as he declared illegal immigration at the US-Mexico border a national emergency.

Trump has already gotten started on reversing several Biden-era immigration orders and has plans to send US troops to help immigration agents and restrict refugees.

The president has also got the wheels in motion to prevent children of immigrants in the US illegally from having citizenship.

Speaking at his inauguration, he said: "All illegal entry will immediately be halted, and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came."

Restoring the death penalty

Calling capital punishment an 'essential tool for deterring and punishing those who would commit the most heinous crimes', Trump signed an order which will ensure states have enough lethal injection drugs for executions.

"The Attorney General shall pursue the death penalty for all crimes of a severity demanding its use," the order says.

Renaming the Gulf of Mexico

Following through on his promise during a press conference earlier this month, Trump has now ordered the Gulf of Mexico to be called the Gulf of America.

"President Trump is bringing common sense to government and renewing the pillars of American Civilization,” the executive order said.

Despite the order, it won't change how it is named globally.

Energy policy

Trump has vowed to 'unleash American energy', promising to export US energy globally as he signed the order amid what he describes as a 'national energy emergency'.

"America is blessed with an abundance of energy and natural resources that have historically powered our Nation’s economic prosperity. In recent years, burdensome and ideologically motivated regulations have impeded the development of these resources, limited the generation of reliable and affordable electricity, reduced job creation, and inflicted high energy costs upon our citizens," the order states.

The order will also reverse Biden's ban on drilling in Alaska as Trump declared America 'will be a rich nation again'.

Cost of living

In the order, Trump vowed to issue 'emergency price relief' to Americans aimed at lowering housing prices and availability and creating 'employment opportunities for American workers'.

Trump will also 'eliminate harmful, coercive “climate” policies that increase the costs of food and fuel'.

Drug cartels

Trump has said drug cartels will now be classified as terrorist organisations.

"International cartels constitute a national-security threat beyond that posed by traditional organised crime," the orders says.

Federal workers

Federal employees have now been classified as political hires - a move which in theory would make them easier to fire.

Trump also declared a federal hiring freeze which will reduce the size of federal government.
