First lady Melania Trump spent less than three minutes at a White House Christmas event on Monday before running off.
Trump was seen taking photos and shaking hands after a horse-drawn carriage brought the White House Christmas tree. She then exited the location in about two minutes and 50 seconds, The Daily Beast reported.
She also shared a sneak peek of this year’s look in a video posted on X, showing a potential gold aesthetic this holiday season — a favorite decor hue among the Trump White House.
Melania has been accused of being a Grinch in the past.
During the first Trump administration, leaked CNN audio from secretly recorded conversations revealed how she really felt about the holidays and decorating.
“I’m working… my a– off on the Christmas stuff, that you know, who gives a f— about the Christmas stuff and decorations?” Mrs. Trump said. “But I need to do it, right?”
“OK, and then I do it and I say that I’m working on Christmas and planning for the Christmas and they said, ‘Oh, what about the children that they were separated?’ Give me a f—— break,” she said at the time, referencing the family separation policy of removing people who illegally crossed the border during the first Trump term.
In 2018, Trump’s holiday decor featured a hallway of tall red trees in the now-demolished East Wing, which were referred to as “murder trees” and compared to “The Handmaid’s Tale.”
At the time, the White House said that the trees were “pales, or stripes, found in the presidential seal designed by our Founding Fathers,” and are “a symbol of valor and bravery.”
