Donald and Melania Trump wear matching tuxedos for final White House Christmas photo
Donald and Melania Trump wore matching tuxedos in their final official Christmas photo ahead of their departure from the White House next month. The President of the United States donned a classic black tux, white shirt and bow tie, while the first lady opted for a black jacket, white shirt, cropped tuxedo pants and high heels
Mrs Trump released the image on her Twitter page on Friday. It was captioned: ‘Merry Christmas from President Donald J Trump and First Lady Melania Trump. @realDonaldTrump & @FLOTUS are seen December 10, in their official 2020 Christmas portrait,on the Grand staircase of the White House in Washington, DC.’
The photograph, shot by official White House photographer Andrea Hanks, shows the Trumps standing on red carpeted stairs, beneath festive green foliage decorated with sprigs of holly berries, pine cones and white lights.
President Trump and his wife are set to leave their Washington DC home by January 20, when Joe Biden will be inaugurated as the 46th President of the United States.
The president is said to be ‘shrunken’ by his election loss, and ‘over’ his job as leader of the free world, according to a report published in The New York Times on Friday.
Conversely, Mrs Trump has appeared happy and relaxed in her public appearances since Biden was named the next president. The famously-private first lady is long rumored to have struggled with the attention that comes with being married to the world’s most powerful man.
She was recently seen touring a private school in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as she, President Trump and their 14 year-old son Barron prepare to move to the Sunshine State next month.
The president has yet to formally concede his defeat in the election, and has continued to make unfounded claims that the result was stolen from him.
He has failed in repeated attempts to overturn state results in the courts, with the US Electoral College formally naming Biden the election winner on Monday.
