Post rant

The decorations are being handled by the First Lady Melania Trump, like the past three years. However, she has been subjected to trolling this year, after the recent controversy related to the secret voice recordings on which the outgoing FLOTUS could be heard cribbing and ranting about the yearly celebrations. (Doug Mills © 2020 The New York Times)
