Melania Trump's Halloween Display Gives Critics The Creeps As Millions Face Real-Life Horror

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Trump White House appears to be almost ready for Halloween.

And critics are calling it chilling.

Not because of the decidedly non-spooky, pumpkin-heavy decor, but because, as was pointed out on social media, millions of Americans are set to lose their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits as they won’t be issued Nov. 1 due to the ongoing government shutdown.

The office of first lady Melania Trump shared a photo of the decorations on X, formerly Twitter

1. She is tone deaf.

[AloeVera]

8. She knows what she is doing.

"I really don't care, do you?"

[BOSSHOG]

16. Like the car washer in Cool Hand Luke

[11 Bravo]

40. Mah Luciiiiiiiiiille!

[BOSSHOG]

45. If she's still with us she's gotta be 80 by now

[ornotna]

47. She is, and she's 85

2. Decorating with food

[C_U_L8R]

3. Let them eat pie.

[Blues Heron]

4. Gaslighting as usual. They are very angry, petty people.

[Blues Heron]

44. Nothing says Halloween like 10,000 pumpkins frosted with asbestos fibers from the east wing

[Sogo]

5. Let them eat squash.

nt.

[Wicked Blue]

22. Let them eat pumpkin

[GiqueCee]

6. As Marie Antoinette said...

when told that the people were starving and had no bread, "Let them eat pumpkins!"

[wcmagumba]

7. Looks like it was just quickly thrown together, not creative at all, junk...haunted ladders?

Hell, Mel baby, just put the red Christmas trees out there and call it a day...

[Attilatheblond]

35. Yeah, she put SO much thought into that

'Jus go buy a lot of many orange things and put them around stairs! I von't be handing candy to begger children!'

[John1956PA]

37. "Be orange."

[MagickMuffin]

9. I'm sorry, but the Office of the 1st lady, doesn't exist anymore

It got bulldozed because the 1st lady wasn’t using it.

[11 Bravo]

41. And we don't have a First Lady anyway, we have a First Escort.

[MagickMuffin]

46. I denied her the official title since I didn't use a capital

She’s no 1st Lady, however, 1st lady is a personal dig of mine.

I believe she helps traffic young children for the elite millionaires & billionaires to abuse for their pleasures.

Eyes Wide Shut is the perfect movie for the well to do.

[Polly Hennessey]

10. Looks trashy. Throw a bunch of pumpkins 🎃 on the

porch, two ladders, and some orange mobiles and call it decorative.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

11. Tripping hazard

[flvegan]

12. I hope Morticia doesn't trip on any of those pumpkins on the steps.

That would make wife #2 to suffer such a tragedy.

[lame54]

13. Love those attractive nuisences

[Srkdqltr]

14. It's AI , right?

[chowder66]

15. Why waste the money and time? Just drag them over to the East Wing demolition site.

[QueerDuck]

17. She's always so TACKY!! Everything she does is gauche and in poor taste.

[BattleRow]

18. Perhaps when hubby returns,he will gild the pumpkins

All gilt with no guilt..

[fierywoman]

36. When hubby returns, he won't be able to use the railings to get down the stairs -- intentional?

[mwmisses4289]

19. kinda looks like dollar tree stuff, doesn't it?

[VTderry]

34. It's Dollar-fifty Tree now, thanks to the

decomposing jack-o-lantern she's married to.

[venusgirl]

20. Melania Trump's Halloween Display

Typical thoughtlessness…putting pumpkins along the handrail ..making it more difficult to walk down the stairs.

[Marie Marie]

21. Does anybody in the family have an ounce of taste? That looks like something

a third grade class would come up with. If that is the best she had in her, why even bother? Maybe she was trying to use all that orange to distract from the gaping void where the East Wing used to be.

[Deuxcents]

26. It probably took 2 minutes to come up with such creativity..isn't she just great? 🙃

[Luz]

23. First Lady? I'm under the impression trump is single.

There is no "office of the first lady".

[Grim Chieftain]

24. Hideous and tasteless

just like them.

[Ford_Prefect]

25. A seedy display at the very least. A bit of Orange Karma come home to roost.

[Fil1957]

27. It needs more pumpkins...

[Marie Marie]

48. ...

[LisaM]

28. How does she contrive to make everything look like a haunted house?

She has the grimmest taste (if you can call it that) I have ever seen.

[Martin Eden]

29. To make the display complete, the hideous orange creature should be at the central doorway

He could be held in place with a flagpole up his ass.

[SWinter]

30. Make pie

If I was taking my kids trick or treating at the WH, I’d grab a pumpkin on the way out. Food is food, and they’ll probably just get rid of them Nov 1.

[FakeNoose]

31. I really HATE the color orange

Not sure why, it just reminds of a lot of really awful things.

[COL Mustard]

32. The poor can learn to make pumpkin pie

I’m sure that’s the underlying message from Her Majesty.

[BattleRow]

33. Ooh, just imagine some disgruntled folk smashing all those pumpkins...

[John1956PA]

38. Sadly, the pumpkins will end up in the waste-hauling trucks along with the East Wing debris.

[BattleRow]

42. Maybe some Dem politician could request they be donated to local food banks?

[Retrograde]

49. Those big jack- o'lantern pumpkins

aren’t really good for eating ( bland and stringy) but it’s the thought that counts- wasting foodstuffs while SNAP is being cut and food banks are emptying sends an FU message to the 99%

[angrychair]

39. This is her jacket back, part 2

"I don't really care, do you?"

[Ms. Toad]

43. I see about 600 pies.

All likely going in the dumpster in a few days.
