My takeaway from this video (other than Kubrickian horror) was the “Be best” ornament. I was like, ha, that sure was a thing, wasn’t it? And I can’t decide whether the inclusion of that ornament was the White House’s wink-and-nod comedy callback to 2018, or if they are legitimately taking the position that “Be Best” is a real thing with actual policy backing and initiatives associated with it. If the latter, this is literally the first I’ve heard about it from any official organ since its inception.

The message I got from this was, “Have yourself a bleak, soulless, trapped in a loveless relationship Christmas!”; and that’s with the sound turned off.

She looks lonely. 
But then again, maybe like she’s scheming. Hatching a plot. 
She’s such a blank slate. I often hope she’ll bust out and spill the Evil Trump beans, but then, who the hell knows WHAT she’s thinking. Or feeling.

Ooo is it time for the annual silent scream for help? I see the hallway of blood has been downgraded to merely the mantle of blood but that might just be because she was too busy pinching all the white powder.

More than a white Christmas, this is a white-power Christmas.

I think it “be best” with the Yakkity-sax music – it suits the clown-show theme that is this administration

Nothing says Christmas like Melania tRump, next year the tRump clan will be packing for a hasty departure…

I hear that “executive mansion” is a total dump. People are saying it.

At first I thought these were onions. “Bold move,” I said to myself. But no. I was mistaken.
“BE BEST” sure doesn’t count for much; in Scrabble or in life.

They do look like onions. What are they?
Weird how the bulbs and roots are exposed like that.

I expect they are escaping in the only way a plant knows how. As to what they are… Shrieking lilies? I don’t know. I’m not a plant kinda guy. But they feel like whatever they are, they are shrieking.

Yeah. I think everything in that video is shrieking. Internally. Especially Melania.

Paperwhites, which have been forced.
Didn’t realize until I typed this that perhaps it’s more than just seasonal decor… could it be a message?!

Not creepy enough. Imagine this soundtrack with CG of Ghouliani lurking in the background. Insurance policy indeed.
