Melania Trump fires back at Christmas decoration critics

Melania Trump on Wednesday hit back at critics ofher White House Christmas decorations — including the 40 blood-red trees that have been mocked for looking like the backdrop of a horror movie.

“We are in the 21st century and everybody has a different taste,” the first lady said during a panel at Liberty University. “I think they look fantastic.”

The crimson trees lining the East Colonnade were lampooned on Twitter when they were unveiled Monday along with the rest of the White House’s Christmas decorations.

“Welcome to Christmas at the House of Horrors,”wrote @ellievan65.

Added @plucas1000: “This is the white house christmas decorations of 2018, and those blood-red trees look literally like out of a horror movie.”
