First woman Melania Trump unveiled this 12 months’s White Home Christmas decorations, and critics have already got rather a lot to say about them.
Final 12 months, her “blood red trees” brought on a stir on social media. In 2017, her stark hallway of leafless sticks prompted comparisons to “The Blair Witch Undertaking.”
This 12 months’s theme is the “Spirit of America,” with patriotic decor blended in with the vacation ornaments in addition to references to the primary woman’s “Be Best” marketing campaign.
“The Spirit of America” is shining within the @WhiteHouse!” she tweeted.
However many critics on Twitter noticed one thing else “shining.”
Particularly, references to the 1980 horror film “The Shining,” primarily based on the Stephen King novel, together with another cracks and complaints:
Possibly there’s a scrabble Jesus in there someplace.

The “Spirit of America” is ingesting closely & hanging on by a thread due to the @WhiteHouse. #BeBoo birther!

Christmas has nothing to do with American patriotism. This proper right here is once we cross into Christian nationalism. If there’s a #WarOnChristmas, it’s being waged at The White Home. Not with this vacation show, however with Donald Trump’s nationalistic insurance policies.
