Melania Trump Unveils White House Xmas Decor — But People Can’t Forget What She Said in 2018

The theme for the Trump family’s first White House Christmas since 2020 is “Home Is Where the Heart Is.” The decor also nods to next year’s celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the founding of the United States of America.

You can get a taste in this promotional video posted on social media.

While the first lady may have intended to remind people of 1776, many people couldn’t forget a different year: 2018, to be exact.

In an audio recording from July 2018 by Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, Melania Trump’s former friend and aide, the first lady seemed irritated about being asked about children being separated from their parents when she wanted to talk about “working on Christmas planning.”

She was also miffed that the duties of coming up with White House Christmas displays fell on her, which inspired this infamous declaration: “Who gives a fuck about Christmas stuff and decoration?”

Trump may have changed her tune about the holiday in the last seven Christmas seasons, but many people on social media decided not to let the internet forget her previous antipathy.

Melania Trump’s infamous 2018 f-bomb isn’t her only Christmas controversy.

Her 2017 decision to decorate the East Wing hallway with stark white branches spawned a meme and comparisons to horror movies, while The Washington Post declared her 2018 assortment of crimson trees a “nightmare forest” reminiscent of costumes in “The Handmaid’s Tale.”
