The funniest Twitter jokes about Melania's White House Christmas decorations

The unveiling of the White House Christmas decorations is always a hotly anticipated event in the holiday calendar. But, much like First Lady Melania Trump's other public outings this year, the 2018 decor was also a bit of a PR misfire.

You might recall the horror-movie comparisons made last year about Melania's stark choice of Christmas decorations.

This year it was the row of red trees the First Lady picked which caught the attention of Twitter.

There were a fair few pop culture references...

The theme of this year’s Christmas at the White House is ‘Handmaid’s Tale.’ https://t.co/bzjeHggX4f

Others just found the trees a little much

I give Melania credit: No other First Lady ever made the White House Christmas look so much like the Circles of Hell. pic.twitter.com/VHfbmgUr6d

In fairness to Melania Trump, people should stop photoshopping her into these hideous and obviously fake White House Christmas decoration scenes that obviously she would never actually do, and... OH MY GOD THIS IS REAL. pic.twitter.com/JnVbg5OBLA

The new White House Christmas decorations video is here, and this time Melania’s installed a whole hallway full of... (checks notes)... blood trees? pic.twitter.com/UjOxnnqa7x

Some were simply nostalgic for the Obama decor (any excuse)
