Your support makes all the difference.The far-right media website Breitbart is selling "precious Snowflake" ornaments to troll liberals at Christmas.
"It was a very, very rough year for snowflakes, and at Breitbart we are sensitive to their collective plight," the organisation says on its website, which Donald Trump's ex-chief strategist Steve Bannon has called "a platform for the alt-right".
It continues: "To that end we are offering this sturdy Snowflake Tree Ornament that will remind them (even in the darkest times) that they are PRECIOUS. Crafted with love in the USA, these snowflakes will NOT melt, even if the recipients do."
The website notes that the small ornaments are "Made of silver steel in the USA". They can be purchased for $5.99, excluding tax and the cost of shipping.
After leaving the White House earlier this year, Mr Bannon returned to his perch at Breitbart. He serves as the outlet's executive chairman.
The outlet's staff also includes Sebastian Gorka, who served as a special assistant to Mr Trump until the end of August.
Mr Bannon has been credited with catapulting Mr Trump into the presidency - a claim that Mr Trump has rejected.
