Of course everyone's appreciation of art is personal. I don't care for the red trees, I think the pencil wreaths are a horror. Patriotic themes are great for the 4th of July not Christmas. I imagine the artist's plan for the red trees varied significantly from the finished product, otherwise no thinking person would have gone out of their way to choose it. As a country we will survive the White House Christmas decorations of 2018, and hope for a better outcome in 2019. I did read though that there was a pretty huge price tag on this years display.
Melania has gotten a free pass on the "mocking" scale vis-a-vie other First Ladies. Someone married to the most powerful man on earth needs to rise above it and not resort to silly jackets. JMO
The negative memes also happened for the 2017 decorations. You can see those memes in the following link.

Title: Melania Trump's Christmas Decorations Gave the Internet the Most Wonderful Memes of the Year
By Ashley Hoffman November 28, 2017
Christmas came early for the internet thanks to the First Lady’s White House decorations.
snippets from article follows..
With the help of 150 volunteers from 29 states, Melania Trump filled her high-profile home with Balsam fir trees dripping with “icicles” and trimmed with glass ornaments emblazoned with the seal of each state and territory, unveiled Monday. For her entrance from the residence into the Grand Lobby, ballet dancers performed to The Nutcracker.
“The President, Barron, and I are very excited for our first Christmas in the White House,” the First Lady said in a statement. “As with many families across the country, holiday traditions are very important to us. I hope when visiting the People’s House this year, visitors will get a sense of being home for the holidays."
Those memes were not about red trees. Those memes were about white trees.

The link ^provides a video of those white trees which you can see at the 0:43 mark on the video. The trees are white, bright and beautiful and nothing like the dark memes and the dark comments in the first link I provided.
If, you do a search on the history of past White House Christmas decorations you will discover that Our previous First Lady's have included Patriotic Themes in their Christmas decorations.
By the way, I have no problem with people using their free speech to use dark memes or add dark words to those memes concerning Our First Lady's decorations.
I do, however reserve my free speech right to defend Our First Lady.
I also, don't have a problem when Our First Lady uses a silly jacket to address mockers.
It appears to me that Melania Trump also does not have a problem with her mockers.. as she states on her silly jacket to the mockers... I don't care that you mock me. With a follow up question to the mockers.. Do You?
My answer to her question is... Clearly the mockers care about just about everything she does or does not do according to their liking and they once again used their free speech to mock her silly jacket.
