A photo of Donald and Melania Trump was spotted on the Christmas tree in the White House State Dining room. A surprise, given the stink Mr Trump left around Washington after failing to accept the results of the 2020 election.
Two of the trees appear to include photos from the current first family and past first families, including both Bushes, the Reagans, the Carters, and the Kennedys.
Many are saying that the inclusion of Trump speaks to Jill Biden’s level of class and as well as her husband’s kindness. (It’s White House tradition for the current First Lady to decorate for Christmas.)
This year, the main White House Christmas tree is decorated with white doves, made of paper, and white lights. Dr. Biden also decided to include a general store, post office, school, hospital, and gas station—perhaps as a nod to essential workers and first responders.
CNN reported the photo as being small and tucked away on the backside of the tree.

Political Flare pointed out that the photo is low to the ground, implying that the placement was done intentionally to disrespect the former President and First Lady. “It’s not upfront like a smile,” the article reads. “More like a wart.”
One Twitter user agreed, adding that the red ribbon above the photo was purposely placed to obscure the Trump faces.
Others were pretty disappointed that the Trump family was included among the first families.
