'Nice try': Melania Trump buried after gushing reveal of White House Christmas decor [View all]

The White House Monday revealed its holiday decor, debuting a lego-designed portrait of President Donald Trump and the nation's first president, George Washington — garnering plenty of criticism of the first lady and the administration.

Social media users had a range of responses to the new images of the designs, which were selected by First Lady Melania Trump and released in a new video posted on the White House's social media accounts.

"Home Is Where the Heart Is — AMERICA’S CHRISTMAS," wrote the first lady.

I just have to ask if she is selling the picture to make up for the loss on her crypto failure..........
