Maandag onthulde het Witte Huis de kerstversiering van 2018. Het thema is 'American Treasures' en alles is ontworpen door de First Lady zelf. Hoewel er allerlei kerstige decoraties, bloemstukken en bomen te vinden zijn, heeft Twitter het maar over één ding: de bloedrode kerstbomen, die de oostelijke zuilengalerij moeten verfraaien. Onder de hashtag #MelaniaMurderTrees worden de rode kunstbomen volledig afgebrand. "Nu weten we waar de poorten van de hel zijn," klinkt het. En: "Dit is iets voor in horrorfilms." Hieronder de leukste reacties:

'Twas the nightmare before Christmas, when all thro' the #WhiteHouse
Not a creature was stirring, not even a louse;
The intel were hung by the shredder with care,
In hopes that #Putin, not #Mueller, soon would be there....
OK, I thought the red trees were interesting, but my first thought was Cousin It. Maybe she could have added strung popcorn to break up the color. Melania is at least decorating. #MelaniaTrump #Melania #melaniachristmas pic.twitter.com/vJCD4GJVIY

I look at this and the first thing that comes to mind is when #Trump said: Blood coming out of her whatever..

As if #Melania’s #BloodRedChristmas deco wasn’t enough, here we another of the #WhiteHouse hallways, lined with even more trees, this time inspired by her “husband”.

#Melania and her blood red #Christmas trees. This looks like a scene out of the shining or some gothic tale where the trees weep blood. A real life nightmare before Christmas. Now we know where the gates of Hell are located. #MondayMorning pic.twitter.com/2l5Sji6uvc

So the First Lady decorates the White House with trees soaked in the blood of her enemies. Nothing to see here. It's just fine. Perfectly normal. #MelaniaMurderTrees
