A Handmaid's X-mas tree

From Rawstory: Melania Trump hilariously mocked for ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ White House Christmas trees video

elania Trump posted a video of the White House dressed up for Christmas, but some are comparing the decorations to the popular Hulu dystopian series “The Handmaid’s Tale,” thanks to the blood red trees and the First Lady belonging to what some see as an oppressive religious regime.

Calling the White House “the People’s House,” the First Lady announced it is “ready to celebrate Christmas and the holiday season!” in a tweet that includes the curious video:

Others are comparing Melania Trump to Marie Antoinette, and some mocked the inclusion of her “Be Best” ornaments.
