Vogue Has Identified A ‘Problem’ With The White House Christmas Portrait
Rush Limbaugh Says Trump Should VETO The Short-Term Spending Bill

‘We The People Will Fund The Wall’ Is BLOWING UP!
December 20, 2018If you haven’t seen the White House Christmas portrait of POTUS and FLOTUS, you are missing out, because it is perfection.
Initial thoughts:
- They look genuinely happy.
- Melania is gorgeous in that dress.
- Donald looks spiffy as heck.
- That Christmas tree wonderland is my heaven.
- They’re holding hands, and it’s sweet.
It’s a lovely picture. I can’t find anything bad to say about it. Neither could Vogue, which is why the rag went with a new angle: They say it’s so good, it’s bad. Something is clearly off!
The photo, which was reportedly snapped before the first couple headed to the Congressional Ball last Saturday, shows FLOTUS and POTUS looking almost like cardboard cutout versions of themselves. And they are very, very smiley—despite this season of indictments, and the dissolution of their flagrantly fraudulent charity organization. They are also holding hands, a move that is famously out of character for them. We asked resident Vogue art experts to weigh in on what could be happening in this festive portrait, and why it feels so strangely off.
Told ya. They’re going with the “It’s so good, it’s bad” angle. TDS, man.
But why do we get the distinct feeling that we’re being greeted by wax statues? “It’s how they’re lit versus the lighting in the space,” Vogue.com’s Visual Director Emily Rosser explained. “It makes them look like cutouts.” She thinks both Trumps have been slightly de-oranged (compared to other photos of them from that night’s Congressional Ball) by the intense lighting in the photo.
Vogue.com’s Senior Designer Durrant Santeng says that without bokeh (the practice of blurring the background of a photo so that its subjects stand out), “the President and First Lady are competing with their decorations.” Instead, he notes, the lighting is “very overdone.”
It’s a great picture. They look good.
Vogue’s conclusion is dripping with seahaggery.
As former Trump White House associates continue to fall like snowflakes on a winter day in the Mueller investigation, the wildly sunny White House Christmas portrait might be another attempt to keep spirits looking bright.
Vogue ripped as 'utter piece of garbage’ for attacking Melania Trump’s White House Christmas portrait https://t.co/eBQKWASH4r

I don’t know what’s worse. This magazine, or the “writers” that work for it. This rag is nothing more than a litter box liner. #bebest

Vogue is pathetic. It’s a beautiful Christmas card !

The story was incredibly moving. Just reading pure hatred from some hot garbage dumpster fire called Vogue is so entertaining. It’s painfully obvious they are entitled degenerates who prey on insecure people…

Rather than @voguemagazine praising the undisputed style of @FLOTUS they choose to pick a part a the White House Christmas portrait because, they hate that it’s a great photo! With all their photoshop cover fails they should look inward & just #BeBest https://t.co/pXoH2T1dl3
