  • On Nov. 12, 2020, an image graphic supposedly containing a statement from U.S. first lady Melania Trump concerning her final Christmas in the White House started to circulate on social media. The statement came as a surprise to some, since her husband, U.S. President Donald Trump, had not acknowledged President-elect Joe Biden's victory and had filed lawsuits contesting the results of the 2020 presidential election. Did the first lady really concede defeat as Trump continued to contest the election results? No, this is not an official statement from the White House or Melania Trump. The above-displayed image comes from the website whitehouse.gov1.info. While this website contains information pertaining to White House events (such as Christmas decorations or the Easter Egg Roll), it is not an official government website. When this website writes 2020 marks the final holiday season for the Trump White House, they do so to acknowledge that Biden is the projected winner of the 2020 election and that the Trump family is expected to leave the White House on Jan. 20, 2021. This is not, however, an official White House statement. Shortly after images from this page went viral, whitehouse.gov1.info added a brief disclaimer at the top of their holiday page: Note to Readers: Joe Biden won the election which makes this the final holiday season for the Trump White House. This is not the official White House website as noted in the footer below. As of this writing on Nov. 13, 2020, Melania Trump has not acknowledged the results of the 2020 election and has not reached out to incoming first lady Jill Biden about transitioning to the White House. CNN writes: The president will not leave the White House until Jan. 20, 2021, which means that Melania Trump will have one final Christmas in the White House. Although there have been reports that the holiday decorations will go up as normal, the first lady has previously said that this tradition — decorating the White House for Christmas — is not her favorite part about being first lady. In October 2020, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a former top aide for the first lady, released a recording of Melania saying who gives a fuck about Christmas stuff. The New York Times writes: (en)
