Melania Trump has made no secret of how little she enjoys being FLOTUS.

Recordings of her venting to a friend recently made the rounds through the media. In them, Melania can be heard specifically griping about how much she hates the traditional FLOTUS task of decorating the White House for Christmas.

She said:

"I'm working … my a** off on the Christmas stuff, that you know, who gives a f*ck about the Christmas stuff and decorations? But I need to do it, right? Give me a f*cking break."

Immediately, Melania dismissed the recording. She claimed the quote and conversation were taken totally out of context to make her look bad.

The now-notorious moment has, however, come back to bite her.

Melania recently tweeted about the arrival of this year's White House Christmas tree.

To which Twitter essentially responded:

Giphy

Melania Trump's tweet was met with ... well ... this.

Hopefully her impending return to civilian life will allow Melania to again enjoy the holidays.
