Melania Trump is hosting Halloween at the White House on Monday afternoon and will open the South Lawn to “ghosts and goblins of all ages.” The ghosts and goblins she is inviting are children and parents from more than 20 District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia schools, military families and community organizations, according to a press release from the Office of the First Lady on Friday.
The event scheduled from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. will feature bats and pumpkins with profiles of past presidents, but the White House didn’t say which ones. Fog will cloud the air and the South Portico will be decorated with spider webs for a “festive look and feel,” the release from her office states.
Trump on Saturday night tweeted a teaser to the event from @FLOTUS on Twitter. The picture showed the interior of a White House window with webs and purple lighting, captioned, “The People’s House @WhiteHouse is ready to celebrate Halloween 2017.”
Critics of President Donald Trump attacked her tweet immediately. Twitter user David Duran, whose profile states that he was blocked by the president on the social media platform, replied, “Yeah, no need for decor…with you and your husband in there, that place is a f--ing nightmare already.”
Another Twitter user, @RichardMSchmitz, replied, “I have a better idea,” and posted a photoshopped image of the White House window with jail bars.
Not all the responses were disapproving. Many Twitter users showed support and praised Melania Trump, though it’s unclear if she put up any of the decorations herself.
The first lady’s spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham on Friday tweeted a photo of workers spreading cobwebs on windows outside the White House in preparation for trick-or-treaters.
Melania Trump and the president will hand out cookies baked by the White House pastry kitchen and “Presidential M&M’s,” among other candies to trick-or-treaters. Items banned from the event include toy weapons of any kind, electric stun guns, balloons and selfie sticks.
Last Halloween, then-President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama welcomed more than 4,000 people mostly from 15 Washington-area elementary schools and military families to an Alice in Wonderland themed celebration with teacups and rabbits, and danced to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.”
Melania Trump is the most popular member of the Trump family working and living in the White House, according to recent polls.
Sore losers
I hope the kids and their parents have a great time. Isn’t it refreshing to have a beautiful adult First Lady? I think she is awesome!
While I’m not a hollowed can theologically speaking, I’m fine with people having a little fun and party — lord knows we could use a little more happiness and fun what with all the slimeball leftist political lies and bs these days ! Especially like some of the filthy insulting comments and lies mrs trump was subjected to for hosting a little party for children. My lord, just how low some people stoop to try to throw their demented krap comments at mrs trump for having a kids’ party?!
What scum liberals are. I can’t wait for the civil war.
Melania is terrific. I’d like to meet her.
Yes, the first Halloween, BO and MO invited Johnny Depp and his WONDERLAND friends. La De Da!
That Melania invited school children and military families only goes to show she has aplomb and class of a first rate American First Lady. Mrs. T - you make US proud!
Oddly... they didn’t have a problem
with Odungo posing as a US citizen and
acting like he actually respected the American people...
*ping*
No photos, but there should be some on Tuesday night / Wednesday morning!
When do the Vice President and his wife get to do public events?
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
Count me among the fans of our lovely Melania as well. I am more impressed with her all the time.
How fortunate to have a woman of such grace representing us as First Lady.
Hope the kids all have a great time.
Many Twitter users showed support and praised Melania Trump, though it’s unclear if she put up any of the decorations herself.
Oh yeah...thats so important that she actually and physically hang decorations herself.
The dumb of these people doesn’t disappoint ever.
I am sure she can also be found wiping down baseboards and doing the laundry on Mondays.
A$$holes.
Never let even an asinine opportunity to bash the Trumps go to waste....
I have been expecting it since the 70s. I am still expecting it. 😡👺
Eh, Freepers would make the same jokes if it were Michelle.
But Melania is a treasure, handling her position beautifully.
What, you think they’re being kept under lock and key?
My husband and I are taking our daughter and her friend. Her Catholic school was given a number of tickets. Super excited!
To First Lady Melania's List.
Can't even have a little Halloween Fun.
