Melania Trump dismisses critics of red Christmas trees: ....‘They look fantastic’....

First lady Melania Trump on Wednesday dismissed those who have mocked the red Christmas trees decorating the White House for the holidays, during an event at Liberty University in Virginia.

"We are in [the] 21st century and everybody has a different taste. I think they look fantastic,” she said, inviting the students to sign up for a tour to view the holiday decor. “In real life, they look even more beautiful.”

Trump unveiled the decorations on Monday in a video on Twitter, showing 40 crimson topiary trees lining the eastern colonnade of the White House.

Trump attended a town-hall-style event in Lynchburg to discuss the growing opioid epidemic, appearing alongside former Fox News host Eric Bolling, whose son died last year from an accidental overdose.

Bolling used the forum as a rare opportunity to ask Trump questions about her life since she’s moved into the White House.

She said she and her husband don’t have much time together in the evenings because of their busy schedules.

“We are very, very busy. We have own schedules. I'm very busy, he's very busy. In the evenings, we get together, try to have a dinner together. And just talk, what's happened from the day, then go on with the schedule that we need to do. When you're first lady, there's no free time,” she said.

The red trees were a bold move; IMO they look better in some pics than others. I would think being able to see their detail in person would be quite stunning.

She should say that the trees are showing their revolutionary spirit and support for all progressive peoples worldwide, just to tweak the left’s noses.

The patriotic red used this season has been condemned by critics, with many detractors claiming it looks like the handmaids' outfits in 'The Handmaid's Tale.'

I've had up to here. The liberals create vile artificial memes and tropes, then vilify conservatives when they breach those artificial imaginings. I have never read of or seen 'The Handmaid's Tale' and never will. I am certain the First Lady hasn't got time for nor the inclination to see such debauchery either.

I long for the time when they push us over the edge and their problems will leave in a puff of smoke or smokeless... whatever.

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, or perhaps some brown dildo-looking trees. And the MSM would applaud the Obamas.

I especially enjoyed the foppish query, "Who wears a jacket with the words I really don't care painted on it?" A woman who is fed up with the vulgarity of a slanderous press corps and wears the jacket for their eyes only. That's who.

questioning the tastes of a supermodel invites a whole series of questions that none of her critics would be able to endure.

I’m surprised the left hasn’t yet condemned the traditional Christmas colors of red and green as racist, or homophobic.

There’s still almost 4 weeks left. Give them time.

An added nativity scene would have exploded heads!

The Democrats are pissed because they lost the election in 2016, and the trees are red instead of blue. Everything to Democrats is political.

Bingo!!! I’ll never forget the time that the First Lady was at a podium to speak and proceeded to recite the Lord’s Prayer. Class and courage like we’ve never seen before in a First Lady!

Yep! We finally have a First Lady.

Hillary is a female, but no lady.

Michelle is neither a female nor a lady.

Whilst I'm not a big fan of the red holly covered trees ( I'm just a stodgy traditionalist; though I did like last years white branches ), you'd think that the lefty, uber "trendy" hipsters would like them. I bet they would, if a DEM had had them put up.

At least the Trumps didn't hang condos and other disgusting things on the trees, as the Clintons did!

From what I’ve seen from vids and pics...she drew those illustrations, correct? I knew she did drawings of her jewelry with an architectural background.

I think the trees are stunning. IIRC...there was a section that was all white last year. I will bet blue will be introduced next year.

Melania is very stylish....I think it looks great

These freaks will slam her for anything

They detest her

It’s become easy to understand how the left kills so indiscriminately when it has total power
