We’ve already done a couple of posts on the White House Christmas decorations tweeted from Melania Trump’s official @FLOTUS account, such as Slate’s questioning the secret message behind “her red Christmas trees of death.”
Now the Washington Post is (finally) getting in on the act, publishing its own piece on the trees and how they have induced flashbacks to phantasmal nightmares.
It’s still a month until Christmas, but at the Trump White House, it’s never too early to start inducing flashbacks to phantasmal nightmares from our shared cultural memory. https://t.co/6AQs0QpxJa

Seems unbiased

Like Pat Sajack said earlier: If she were married to someone the media approved of, her decorations would be on the covers of Vanity Fair and Vogue, with articles like, “How to decorate your own home like the White House this year.”
"phantasmal nightmares"
These people are beyond ridiculous. https://t.co/onWzc2h6WN

Maybe that’s what Max Boot was crying about Monday night on TV; the red trees had induced a horrifying flashback to when he was a conservative.

This is probably the first time we've heard the communists in the media say they dont like red. https://t.co/2n4Ww9yJV7

Red and Christmas
is this a first?— Harold Truman (@Maggiesdad34) November 27, 2018
Well, it’s the first time the red was extracted by actual Nazis from the blood of migrant children seeking asylum.
Blood red, like the blood that's on the GOP's hands for allowing all these shootings to take place.

See, we weren’t kidding.

The only horror missing from those trees are those Playmobil sets underneath featuring the sociopathic cops with their weapons of torture.
Okay who let the freshman intern have access to the Twitterscope? https://t.co/0p4nZw2hPs

Seriously? Who approved this article? Democracy dies in darkness and apparently decent journalism dies at the @washingtonpost

Well if you don't like how the Trump family celebrates their holidays, do your own thing and stop bitching and moaning. You can't even be nice at Christmas time when it comes to the Trump family.

The people who work for WaPo are the most depressing, unintelligent, petty, vindictive, bunch of whack jobs to ever exist. It's exhausting to see article after article knocking every single damn thing the first family touches. The staff must be insufferable to be around.

It almost makes you miss the days when Chimpy McBushHitler would post those cute “Barney Cam” videos of his dog running around the White House at Christmas. At least those didn’t tap into our collective nightmares like Trump’s trees.

Update:
The Washington Post gave the story another tweet, and they’re still on about the “spooky” red trees:
Melania Trump didn’t show up to explain her spooky Christmas decorations. So what about those red trees? https://t.co/EsGcSQZzgs
— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) November 27, 2018
Just in case anyone cares, the red trees are just one hallway and to be honest, we’re really not feeling them; but the place looks fantastic overall:
