You knew this was coming.
As all recall, Melania Trump’s Christmas decorating tastes ran a tad bit “unique,” one might say “radical,” or just plain creepy and hard on the eyes. The all-red forest thing really did invoke some sort of science fiction horror story. And some of us who already disliked Melania for thousands of more legitimate reasons just piled on. To be fair, there were two years where the criticism was well-earned.
This site may be partly to blame for what came next, after all, we jumped up and down in celebration yesterday upon seeing a “traditional” (and beautiful) Christmas tree and set up in the main White House dining room. We made comparisons to Melania and the tackiness of her decorations, which – again, seemed warranted.
So it was only a matter of time until a conservative writer, forever sympathetic to the plight of poor Melania, found some odd or unusual decorations in this year’s White House and used the scene as the premise for owing Melania an “apology.”
We promise to apologize to Melania with the utmost sincerity (about her Christmas choices) the moment Melania apologizes to anyone about anything. We will sit patiently. Until then, this demand will have to wait:

On the right are nothing more than blocks of traditional Christmas presents with a bow on top, how ugly! We admit we’re not exactly sure what is going on in the left-sided picture.
Twitter had its response ready for rapid-fire and, no, they were not in the mood to apologize:
Yes cuz blood red Xmas trees are just what every child dreams of at this time of year. pic.twitter.com/kQqobfLvXI

Both of these are really cute. They remind me of the person who approved them: a warm, welcoming mother and teacher. pic.twitter.com/VD4Lp4TPet

I like the 2021 White House.
The 2017 WH, on the other hand, was a nightmare. pic.twitter.com/SnsK8AJU44

She's a teacher. Of course she catered to the kind of Christmas a child dreams of seeing, giant presents and oversized ribbons included.

Nope, I love this, Melanie house looked like a house of horrors. Go find some class, you clearly don’t know what that is!

Let's wait for her apologizing for spreading the birther nonsense. And, the picture on the right is intended to honor healthcare workers.

Melanie decorations look like a mix of Lorax and grinch inspiration.

I apologize to the children of the country who had to be subjected to Melania's Christmas mania.
