WASHINGTON (AP) — First lady Melania Trump on Monday welcomed this year’s official White House Christmas tree, a white fir from a farm in Michigan that arrived by horse-drawn carriage.

The tree, which came from Korson’s Tree Farms, arrived on the North Portico. It was delivered by a pair of Clydesdales named Logan and Ben in a carriage driven by one of three men, all wearing top hats, who were on board.

“It’s a beautiful tree,” the first lady said as she circled the carriage and posed for pictures.

Wearing a cream-colored overcoat and dark red gloves, she shook hands with one of the drivers and a woman who was standing with the horses.

1. Driven by undertakers

Maybe she’s practicing for that blessed day.

[3auld6phart]

35. Weird

For sure my thoughts exactly.

[Hope22]

[wcmagumba]

3. Squinty just looks icky to me...ewww...

She's wearing her best red gloves of death

[quaint]

4. Compare and contrast:

[Bayard]

14. Sigh.....

Those were the days. We didn't know how good we had it.

[Botany]

27. No comparison @ all. Michelle is a gift from the Gods. 100% class.

And she made sure the child felt warmth and love, the man and woman were shown kindness,
and the dogs were there too.

[not fooled]

47. And not one "f*ck Christmas"

ever heard from her.

[Mike Nelson]

5. "Welcome, Tree!"

... "Thank you, Meliana! I did not know Tree was one of your languages - never heard you speak any of them! Good to know Tree is one!"

[wcmagumba]

32. "Be tree"...

[badhair77]

6. She's still trying to get that cover of Vogue.

Always posing. So unnatural. As my Uncle Ray would say, “ Does she have a branch of that tree up her . . ..”

Yeah, Merry Christmas. Michelle looks more human.

[LisaM]

7. She looks like the White Witch of the North.

It's also weird how she's looking at the camera, not the tree or those lovely horses.

I can't wait to see how she decorates the wrecked East Wing.

[travelingthrulife]

64. Tinsel everywhere...may as well continue the asbestos havoc

[stollen]

8. "Fucking Christmas tree"?

[Harker]

19. Or "focking."

[SusieCreamcheese]

9. Is she going to decorate?

Is she going to decorate the White House? We all know what she is capable of and how she feels about "focking Creesmas". She makes me ill.

[William Seger]

16. It will be harder this year with her staff scattered by the destruction of their East Wing offices

She'll likely have to deal with a lot more of the focking Creesmas stuff herself.

[Ziggysmom]

10. She is the biggest phony.

Illegal immigrant! Go back to SLOVENIA. Or does Cheeto consider prostitution a professional degree?

[truthisfreedom]

11. What a perfect place to present the Epstein files!

All wrapped up with a bow, just in time for Xmas!

[twodogsbarking]

12. Melaaaahiaaaah knows many languages. She talks to trees.

Melania Trump welcomes Christmas tree to the White House

[wcmagumba]

33. Like Clint Eastwood sang in "Paint Your Wagon", "I talk to the trees, but they don't listen to me"...har har...

that she is...

[kairos12]

62. And they don't call the trees Melania.

[democrank]

13. Our here-today-gone-tomorrow First Lady....

Red MAGA gloves, but no matching MAGA hat. Sad. Nice pose, though. So natural, so Christmas-y.

Where’s the love of her life….the criminal who just tore off the East Wing? Oh, right. Busy at work finding ways to decrease food aid to hungry children. They deserve each other.

[llmart]

15. Oh how I wish the horses would have taken a huge dump on her 5" stillettos.

Or maybe even better would be if they had loose ones and it got all over her white coat.

She is as phony as a three dollar bill. The only time she smiles is when she sees Putin or Trudeau.

[William Seger]

17. "It's a beautiful tree, and I'm glad it will be dead soon." (nt)

[Ckeyes]

18. Black Christmas

She’ll find some way to make it gloomy.

Carl

[BaronChocula]

20. Did she do it on a Zoom call? n/t

[Irish_Dem]

21. It is all about her. Posing as a cover girl model.

The Trump narcissism is endless.

[BidenRocks]

28. She dresses just like all

middle class women dress. /s/ High heels?
She is the ultimate of 'fuck you America'!

[Ilsa]

46. Yeah, I wear white, high heels, and fashionable

gloves when I set up our Christmas decorations.

[pnwmom]

22. At first glimpse of the crumbling White House, the Christmas tree dropped half its needles. nt

[Buddyzbuddy]

23. B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l !

Horses.

[niyad]

24. Her hair is getting blonder by the day.

[maxsolomon]

25. How much was she paid to appear?

Dollars to Donuts she's already back at Trump Tower.

[Polly Hennessey]

26. Always posing, not realizing it doesn't help.

What’s with the blood 🩸 red gloves and plaid shoes. Mercy me!

[Scrivener7]

29. Good God. Morticia tries to pass as normal.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

30. Those red gloves

Look like she has been up to her elbows in blood. The white coat reminds me of a mad scientist

[popsdenver]

31. Anyone remember the tape recording of her

going off about Christmas during Trump's first term, and how she didn't give a shit about her job of decorating the white house for christmas/?????????

And, check out her god awful shoes in this picture????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Enter stage left]

34. I don't care, do you?

[AltairIV]

36. Which one is the horses ass?

[QueerDuck]

37. Has she been field dressing a buck?

[Blue Owl]

38. Wish that Clydesdale would have taken a steaming dump next to the Third Lady

[BidenRocks]

40. I was thinking the same!

[Farmer-Rick]

39. She always looks so angry and fake

When she smiles she looks so surprised. Like she didn't know her lips could move that way. Now she's doing that weird thing with her lips. She's trying to look pouty but only manages to look stupid.

God how awful is she going to make the Christmas decorations? All her blood red and black decor will be so stark and chilling like in a horror movie.

[not fooled]

48. Cut her some slack. She's just been

widely exposed as Epstein's hand-me-down to Krasnov.

[vapor2]

41. Just wondering........

what role did she play with Jeffrey?

[mdbl]

42. Faaahk Chreeesmus

[FeelingBlue]

43. Looks a little like...

She’s up to her elbows in blood.

Is no one helping her? Or them??

[Polybius]

44. Merry Christmas

Mine's been up for weeks.

[Devilsun]

45. Donnie's DOMINATRIX ; )

[Intractable]

49. It looks like she might fall off her shoes.

If those heels were any higher, she'd be standing like a ballerina.

[Ilsa]

50. She has extra puffy, pouty lips for the holidays.

And her eyes are extra squinty. Maybe she had her cheekbones pumped up.

[Greybnk48]

51. Is this year's theme "I fucking HATE Creeesmas" again?

I hate that racist skank.

[Sane1]

52. Chreeeestmas!!!???!!!

Who geeev a Fuck about Chreeeestmas!!??!!

[RandySF]

53. She was there less than two minutes.

[Nasruddin]

54. She welcomes....

makes it sound like she's giving birth to it

[Betty Boom]

55. So does that make 15 days she's been at the White House this term?

And I wonder how much he had to pay her for the appearance. Wonder what the contract says

[Bengus81]

61. Only the minimum her "contract" with Diaper Don calls for and then...outta there

[moose65]

56. She was there for like 2 minutes

She posed, squinted her eyes, then fled.

If Harris had won, I wonder if Doug Emhoff would have been responsible for the Christmas decor. I’m sure the MAGAs would have roasted him for doing something that should be done by the womenfolk 🙄

[Orrex]

57. Look at that horse's ass.

[Irish_Dem]

58. We don't even get to see the tree. Just Melania eye-effing the camera.

[Paladin]

59. That tree is now the most intelligent resident of what remains of the White House. (nt)

[lark]

60. What a sourpuss she is, so full of hate and rage.

She's the ugliest thing in the picture with her horrid smirk. We know she's thinking "Kreeestmas Trees, how I hate them".

[travelingthrulife]

63. The First Trollop and her silly spike heels.

She must not be able to walk in normal shoes anymore. Probably why the Rose Garden had to go.

[flvegan]

65. "Finally, some big, hard wood in the White house!" *wink* - Melania, probably
