Melania Trump’s Christmas Decoration Aesthetic For The White House Is The Blood Of Her Enemies, Apparently

You know how sometimes you watch a movie with a full-on villain and idly wonder how they arrive at their extremely full-on villainous aesthetic? Like, do they sit around with their decorator and their personal tailor and dog groomer and talk about how the colour scheme of their evil lair should have an uneasy, dungeon-shadowed quality? “And more skulls, Percy. Definitely more skulls.”

Or do they just pick what they think is nice, and their wallpaper and sconce selection happens to evoke bloodshed, cruelty on a grand scale, the boot of the system on the necks of the poor and powerless?

Anyway, on an unrelated matter, I’d love to be a fly on the wall while Melania Trump is arranging the Christmas decorations for the White House, because this army of blood-red Christmas trees looks like something the set designers for The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina would consider A Bit Much.

This is the second year in a row where the White House festive aesthetic has been very much on the Evil Lair vibe. Remember the Voldemort-white branches from last year?

But hey, there’s absolutely no reason for the White House Christmas vibe to be warm, fuzzy and wholesome. They’re tear-gassing asylum seekers on the Mexican border and trying to eliminate legal avenues for trans people’s existence to be acknowledged.

Why not go with a look that truly reflects the ever-present, sickening horror of watching another year of this madness come to an end?
