Melania Trump gets ridiculed over her Christmas decorations - and it's not even August

It may be hotter than the seventh circle of hell at the moment, but before we know it, the John Lewis advert will premier, Secret Santa emails will start to circulate and mince pies will appear in shops.

Admit it, you know it's true.

Over in Washington DC, Christmas decoration plans are already underway in the White House, with First Lady Melania Trump at the helm.

Yes, while her husband continues to do whatever it is he actually does (bar tweeting) on a daily basis, Melania has been treating her followers to a glimpse of the process.

What's happening in the pictures, according to the Daily Mail , is Melania is casting an eye over fake flowers and fabric swatches and putting together her decoration plans.

Taken at face value, it's a pretty wholesome and inoffensive tweet. Except, obviously, people either took offence - or just casually mocked her.

Many Twitter users remembered previous, terrifying festive themes .

Then there's the fact that it's still July.

And there were one or two helpful suggestions.

It will be interesting to see what she goes for (NEARER THE TIME), as past attempts have drawn comparisons to the hotel from The Shining.

There were some even more searing Tweets, with one woman suggesting  "Please do go with the 'babies in cages' and 'drowned migrants' Christmas tree ornaments as befitting your administration."

Seriously, what is it with the Trumps and Twitter? They just can't seem to get it right .
