Social media erupted following the unveiling of Jill Biden’s 2021 White House Christmas Decorations.

Critics claim the First Lady showcased “absolutely no taste at all.”

“Screams… tacky darling,” another person commented. “Melania did it so much better,” another said.

“I’m sorry but that is hideous,” one person replied.

“Each box is empty, like Joe’s head,” another person wrote to Twitter.

In November 2018, then-First Lady Melania Trump came under attack by liberals who accused her of turning the White House into a “dark, dystopian” landscape.

President Trump defended his wife at the time, saying, “Everybody has a different taste.”

As expected, the liberal media is praising the “normal Christmas” decorated by Jill Biden, but these comments are getting drowned out by a massive wave of ridicule.

“I say that this ‘normal’ is boring and bland, making mall decorations look exciting,” Western Journal’s Lily Cooper comments.

It makes me miss the style and class of the previous First Lady Melania Trump, who brought her own New York flair and took risks when decorating.

She made the White House her canvas and creatively and modernly made it into a piece of Christmas art. In 2017, she infamously decorated the halls with bare white trees, creating a winter wonderland effect. The Christmas trees dazzled in snow and glittering lights, and some were covered in pine cones and ribbon. Her theme tied together with each room, while also allowing each space to stand out on its own. Trump’s knowledge of style helped her succeed when it came to planning these rooms.

She came under fire in 2018 for having red Christmas trees in the hall. While the red trees were certainly a huge surprise to many, it made sense considering Trump is high-fashion. It fit with how she dressed and bent between classic first lady styles and her New York boldness. What made the trees work was that she tied the red color throughout the rest of the decorations. There was a theme.

While I agree that the current first lady and I have different tastes, this just has the feeling of someone who allowed their young children to help decorate the house for Christmas — not that there’s anything wrong with family decorations. It’s cute and obviously festive, but it is disorganized and disjointed, with an overall lack of theme and cohesiveness. The colors blend in, are awkward and don’t work. A pretty good representation of the administration overall.

For the White House, you expect more. You want more. It is where the president and his family live; thus, it should be grand and fun, filled with new ideas and brilliant execution that make you want to decorate your home in a similar fashion.
