{MSM crazy}Is Melania Trump sending us a message through her creepy Christmas trees?
The Guardian ^ | 28 Nov 2018 | Zoe Williams

Posted on 11/28/2018 7:56:26 PM PST by Cronos

First there was the ‘I really don’t care’ jacket. Now there are her sinister decorations. What is she trying to convey?

There is something exquisite about Melania Trump, and I am not talking about her appearance or what she (probably) smells like. She doesn’t defy interpretation so much as beguile it; you want to strip away the layers, but you know you do so at your peril; the layers might be all there is. Mystery piles on mystery: who owns a jacket sporting the words “I really don’t care”, like the one she wore to a detention centre for child migrants? What binds her to her husband, a man whose proximity seems to affect her viscerally, and not in a good way? Can she really freeze human organs using only a look?

This week, all eyes were on her Christmas trees: why were they red? Why were there so many of them? How can something made out of berries look so creepy? Was opulence the problem? First ladies traditionally play down their wealth, whether for Democrat reasons (the ugliness of inequality) or Republican ones (ostentatious display, while not immoral, is at odds with being relied on to make your own biscuits). But this is an altogether different first family: they occupy high office; they run their own clothing company; they have email accounts on multiple servers; no one expects pretend humility and down-to-earthness, the standards of the old school. And Melania wouldn’t get out of bed to defy a convention that was already dead, let alone deck her hallways blood red for it.

Possibly, as has been suggested already, she is trying to separate us from nature, with trees the colour no tree has ever been lined up in a harsh, firing-squad formation.

I wasn't a Trump fan before he was nominated, but each time the media comes up with hysterically idiotic screedss like this I realize he is doing a great job and the only thing they can shout about is the colour of his wife's Christmas tree!!

And, if I wasn't clear enough -- ha ha ha - the leftist idiots are going insane with Trump.

Great work Trump!! Keep up the good work and may you drive these "journalists" into the lunatic asylum when you win again in 2020!

One main tree, 56 smaller trees, one for each state obama thought we had...

The Trumps are magnificent. I like the red berry Christmas trees, very festive.

The Obamas would have black trees with a crescent moon on top, to look like those silly black tent dresses muzzies wear. And the MSM would applaud the Obamas.

Melania is wonderful.

I thought DJT was the master troll. Now I am believing it is Melania. LMAO. Wish she’d had a Harley decorated in the line too. MAGA
I had a friend decorated his bike in the livingroom every Christmas and put the gifts under it. Seemed fine to me at the time.

Why the hell should the left care about this? These are the same bastards who are doing everything to rid American cities of public Christmas displays and the mere mention of the world “Christmas” from our public vocabulary. I’ll admit the color of the trees is a bit odd, but I think our FLOTUS is doing her own trolling of the MSM herself with this display. Look how this particular writer is completely bugged out of her mind over these trees. Ah, what a great First Couple we have in the White House these days making mincemeat of the media!

And you know that if Mooch had put up the exact same trees, the media would be swooning, and talking about how “cultured” and “stylish” the trees were, and how well they went with Mooch’s latest tablecloth dress/pantsuit.

Barf!

Sounds like mommy made little Zoe eat gross old Grandma’s cranberry sauce even though Zoe thought it was icky.

I would have encouraged my nephew to go into psychiatry fifteen years ago if I had known that business would be booming now.

I don’t care for the red cones either but they look like the same stuff department stores have been dishing out in he catalogues since I was a kid. Sinister they aren’t. Unless all those “House Beautiful,” “Home and Gardens,” “Coastal Living”, “Food and Wine” and “Southern Living” magazines are sinister.

But when a liberal displays his kind of ignorance:

“with trees the colour no tree has ever been”

It only tells us the liberal needs to get out more in the fall and see all the colors trees can be.

Kind of funny that only upon seeing conical red Christmas decorations that the liberal dunce author gets a taste of what people used to think first about the color after decades of seeing communist mobs rampaging through the streets bearing their red banners.

I didn't think of that. Yeah. If Melania goes for mass tomorrow they will say something about her not being dressed appropriately though each day they write a hate article about Christianity.

The jealousy just pours out of every word.

And tomorrow, Melanie will wake up beautiful.

And Zoe will still be ugly.

Do these elitist clowns in the mainstream media, REALLY understand the depth and degree of hatred more than half of America has for them?
I think not.

Hope the author got a gander at the red cannonballs under the green trees...

The media knew tone nice to Mrs. Obama because she is black.

They know to bench to Melania because she is an immigrant and First Lady. Hey they feel comfortable being as hideous to her as possible.

Over on The Donald someone wrote that coloring Christmas trees red is an Eastern European tradition and that the color represents the blood of Christ.
