42. Is this supposed to be what passes for sophistication?

Are we the rubes for not getting it? And why so many of the “trees”??? Just wondering how much they cost per tree. Bet it was not cheap....

Just for grins and giggles.....who pays for this? Is it out of tax dollars or does the First Family pay for it? And why the overkill? Do the decorations have to be over the top? I suppose some people (maybe many people?) go over the top in their home Christmas decor so why not at the White House? But I can think of better ways to spend the money and still have a nicely decorated White House.

Personally, I think the red cone shaped things (they aren’t trees) look more like a department store display than home decor.
