First Lady Melania Trump decorated the White House for Christmas one last time.
During the festive handover of the Christmas tree, she made a particularly annoying mishap.
Melania Trump *
is now known to have little joy in decorating for
Christmas
.
Nevertheless, she took care of the
festive decorations
this year as well
.
When she received the
Christmas tree
, however, she misbehaved a lot.
Washington DC -
Melania Trump
appears to have taken no pleasure in traditionally
decorating
the
White House
for
Christmas
.
This was made known through sound recordings released a few weeks ago.
In her opinion it is a lot of work and nobody cares about it afterwards.
Nonetheless, or perhaps because of it, she took
care of the White House
Christmas decorations
this year as well
.
Tradition must be evident.
After all, the respective First Lady of the USA has been taking care of the Christmas decorations since 1961.
As every year, the festive decorations were solemnly presented.
The wife of
US President Donald Trump
invited to a virtual tour
of the
US President's seat of
government.
Numerous rooms were festively decorated
under the motto “
America, the Beautiful
”.
Expressed in numbers, that means 62
Christmas trees
, 106
wreaths
, over 250 meters of
garlands
, 3,200
lights
and finally 17,000
ribbons
.
During this special time of the year, I am delighted to share “America the Beautiful” and pay tribute to the majesty of our great Nation.
Together, we celebrate this land we are all proud to call home.

Christmas at the White House - decorations brimming with patriotism
Patriotism
seems to be the main theme of this year's decoration.
In this context, the “everyday heroes” of the
USA are also
celebrated in the
so-called “Red Room”
.
Due to the corona pandemic, this mainly includes people who work in the health sector.
Accordingly, the
Christmas tree is
adorned with
small ambulances and hospitals.
All the more ironic is the mishap that
Melania Trump made
in the course of the annual decoration campaign.
The
Christmas tree is
solemnly received
at the
White House
every year.
The handover of the tree is accompanied by a photo session.
This year there was a particularly bizarre situation.
While the three people who handed the tree over to the first lady
wore
a
mask
,
Melania Trump
clearly saw no reason to do so.
She stood directly next to the other people without a mask and posed with them in front of the stately
Christmas tree
.
A photographer obviously noticed this situation and turned to the portrayed.
Everyday heroes honored with decorations - but not through the actions of the first lady
One could assume that she wanted to point out to Melania that she was wearing a mask.
But it was exactly the opposite.
She asked the guests to remove the masks for the photo.
Given the fact that in the environment of the
White House
to
events SuperSpreader
came, in which
Donald
and
Melania Trump
themselves infected with the coronavirus *, this situation can in good conscience be called a "glitch".
It is also worth mentioning in this context that more than a quarter of a million people (currently 289,529 people) in the
USA have
died of or with
Covid-19
.
Above all, this mishap contrasts the work of countless people who
fight for the lives of
people suffering
from
Covid-19
in
hospitals in
the United States
.
The appreciation of her work in the form of Christmas tree decorations is little consolation.
