Melania Dares to Tweet About the White House Christmas Tree Tradition and Immediately Faces Blowback

We will not miss Melania. And we have loved Dr. Jill Biden for years. (We will always use her full title, if for no reason other than to diminish Melania in some small childish way).

But as writers, we will miss the opportunity to just blast Melania’s obliviously ironic statements and “for show” tweets that bear no relationship to the truth and insult Americans that actually do know what she has said about her role in everything as first lady and traditions around the White House.

First, have no doubt, she hates this. She told her then best friend Stephan Winston-Wolkoff something to the effect that she can’t stand the fact that she’s supposed to be in charge of decorating the White House for Christmas and had no interest in it. We’ve really never “decorated” much in our lives and yet the thought of a near limitless budget, a beautiful building, a Holiday season theme, and probably the suggestions of a professional decorator, actually sounds like a ton of fun to us! But maybe we’re crazy, although we’re up against Melania.

Melania also referenced the “tradition” surrounding the White House Christmas tree. We didn’t know that the tradition went back to 1966. If we had to guess we would have guessed more like 1866, but that goes to show what we know. We also know that the Rose Garden Jackie Kennedy designed and had built was a traditional “special area” for announcements and an informal memorial for what both the Kennedy’s gave up for their country. It outdates the Christmas tree. Melania had that fcker bulldozed over, paved paradise, put up a parking lot.

Here is Melania, pretending to care about anything but herself and the money she’ll get once out:

A tree from West Virginia? Nice. Probably an area that should get a little more attention and good publicity. Fraser Fir? I suppose they had to identify the species but we seriously doubt Melania could pick any fir out of a line-up of dogs, cats, ducks, and an evergreen. But fine, whatever. The parts that bother us are the pictures – as if she enjoys this when we already know she hates it, and the reference to the tradition really bothers us. If she wants to talk about tradition, that Rose Garden had far more emotional, lasting, and meaningful “tradition” than some damned tree with lights on it.

Many agreed, first, proof she hates this:

You get the idea.

Peace, y’all
