The first lady posted a video and some photos of her in the president’s main residence on Monday, saying the house was “sparkling”.

As first lady, one of Mrs Trump’s jobs is to decorate the presidential homes for the holiday season, leading the annual team of White House staff and volunteers to prepare the “People’s House” for Christmas.

This year the theme is America’s Treasures, with red, white and blue evident throughout the White House, which will host more than 30,000 visitors as part of 100 open house public tours.

However, many have questioned why Mrs Trump is wearing leather gloves and a coat inside as one of the pictures shows her placing an ornament on a tree wearing red gloves.

One Twitter user said: “Is there a reason why she is wearing a coat and gloves in the house?? Can’t afford the heat?”

Mrs Trump is pictured in the same clothes – including gloves – she was wearing on arrival from Mar-a-Lago, Florida, where the family spent Thanksgiving, so the pictures may be of her seeing the decorations for the first time on Sunday.

A corridor, the east colonnade, has been lined with more than 40 red Christmas trees – leaving some to accuse the first lady of having no taste, while others said it is the classiest White House Christmas they have seen.

Some said it represented Donald Trump’s alleged collusion with former communist state Russia.

One artist said the trees look like a “car wash”, while author Molly Jong-Fast asked: “How do wealthy people have such bad taste?”

But Julie M Diener said: “Thank you, First Lady for making the White House so beautiful.”

Brian Lockwood added: “Great job, First Lady. Top notch!!!”

Others used Mrs Trump’s tweet to accuse her husband’s administration of attacking children, after families at the Mexico border were tear gassed and shot with rubber bullets on Monday as they attempted to cross.
