First there was the I really dont 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 doesnt 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 dont 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 wouldnt 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.

Oh Geeez, I’m sure the Guardian and the Huffpost will turn her into a Elizabeth Báthory for all the red.
The lefties are afraid of these trees.
They might symbolize trees of liberty that are drenched with the blood of tyrants!

Excellent observation and point.
They also knew Big Mike was a tranny, so even more reason to give him a pass.
The red on our flag also represents the blood of Christ.
When Hitlary was first lady she allowed her trees to be infested with pornographic decorations that were made by children all over the country who were instructed to make them by her witch friends masquerading as art teachers.
Last year there was a lot of white. This year, red. What do you bet next year there is a lot of blue. And the next year? All three together.
The media and liberals had a fit about the white too.

Melania Trump Criticized For Decorating White House With Skulls Of Her Enemies

That’s likely true.
In the Lutheran church I was raised in there were two trees every Christmas. One represented the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and the other represented the Tree of Life.
The Tree of Life was decorated in white, with 33 ornaments, one for each year of Jesus’ life.
The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was decorated with red ornaments to represent fruit/sin. [This is a holdover from the Paradise plays of advent season in Europe in which a fir tree was decorated with apples to symbolize the Tree of Knowledge involved in the fall of Man.]
I have to admit that #13 and #27 are correct in their assessments. Zoe taking personal pot-shots at Melania with regard to her appearance and how she smells just shows how petty and downright jealous Zoe is.
So much for journalism - maybe Zoe should take a look in the mirror and contemplate dropping the personal attacks on others. There is an old saying that starts “People in glass hours....”
What the “F” does the Guardian care?
Maybe...just maybe...the little town where she grew up didn’t have an unending supply of Christmas lights, garland, and other decorations. Maybe...just maybe...the red berries were their “decoration”.
As a kid, in the early 50’s, we just went to the woods and cut down a small pine tree for a Christmas tree. I remember glass bulbs, and aluminum foil “ice cicles”.
Later, Aluminum foil (silver) Christmas trees, with a revolving color wheel only.
Then came spruce trees, and finally, now, totally artificial trees that look real.
To the left, it’s not that Melania is celebrating the decorations of Christmas, moreover, the problem is that she’s celebrating Christmas AT ALL.
I refuse to allow secular Atheists’ opinions about Christmas, and how we celebrate it, to matter at all.
In former SS agent Gary Aldman’s (?) book about the Clinton White House, he reports that they had PORNOGRAPHIC ornaments on their tree(s). And, I don’t remember if the obamas even had a tree (that’s how much attention I paid to them).
The red Christmas trees are charming, and the left is only flexing their well-worn, Trump-bashing, partisan-hatred, and envious rage muscle. Thousands of them stare vacantly at the Trumps every day, searching for a nuance of anything to get angry about. It’s a “drug” to them, it gets their adrenaline flowing and almost insures that a MSM camera and/or microphone will be shoved into their faces.
Now, I’m going to take that small, artificial Christmas tree we bought several seasons ago, and spray paint it RED.
You had a revolving color wheel light, reflecting off of a an aluminum tree too?
Could one expect anything less smarmy from the anti-Christian and leftover Trotskyites at the Guardian?
Is this the MSM Derangement Syndrome?
