Melania Trump Called 'Perfect Example' of First Lady Compared to Jill Biden

Jill Biden was blasted by OutKick host Charly Arnolt on Thursday, with the TV personality unfavorably comparing the president's wife to Melania Trump—who she describes as "the perfect example of what" a first lady should be.

"Melania is the perfect example of what should be in the White House as far as women are concerned," Arnolt told political commentator Jesse Watters during his prime time show. "Dr. Jill Biden does not make the cut."

For 2023, Jill Biden chose "The Magic, Wonder, and Joy of the Holidays" as the White House Christmas theme. The concept was inspired by "how children experience this festive season," according to a press release.

Along with traditional festive fare, such as red and green baubles and holly, the 72-year-old decked the halls with colossal candy canes, gingerbread men sculptures, giant lollipops and sweet treats hanging from the ceiling.

In a segment titled "Biden's Psychedelic Christmas," Arnolt described the 2023 White House display as "the least Christmas-spirt-y thing I've ever seen in my life."

Biden was also accused of hiring a "radical Marxist dance troupe" to perform at the unveiling of her "acid-dipped Christmas extravaganza."

"These are also BLM (Black Lives Matter) activists that they used to perform in this Nutcracker rendition," the 36-year-old said.

New York City-based Dorrance Dance's interpretation of the classic ballet included colorful costumes, air-guitars and a jazz soundtrack. The award-winning tap group is passionate about fighting racism, as well as bringing the art form to educational settings.

"Very different to what I'm used to seeing at the Lincoln Center," Arnolt continued. "This is not where I think that the White House dollar should be going towards. This is a joke but doesn't surprise me in the least."

"So you preferred Melania's White Christmas?" asked Watters. "And I don't mean that racially, that was just the theme."

Arnolt expressed her admiration for Donald Trump's wife of 18 years, before telling Watters that she is now referring to the former president as "Dr. Donald Trump," since Jill Biden is known to as "Dr. Jill Biden."

Biden has a PhD in educational leadership from the University of Delaware. Trump has received five honorary doctorates throughout his political and business career, although all but two have since been rescinded.

Newsweek reached out to representatives for Melania Trump and Jill Biden for comment via email.

The snippet of Arnolt comparing Jill Biden and Melania Trump went viral after being shared to X—formerly Twitter—by user Acyn, where it has received over 250,000 views.

Users slammed Arnolt's assessment, with Elli Anderson writing: "The classless envy the classless!"

"Your understanding of 'perfection' is skewed," agreed @essenviews.

"Oh, because there's a universal 'perfect' representation for women in the White House, and only Melania fits that bill? Got it," commented @Nto79549105.

"Yea because women should live off the man, pose nude and remain quiet," wrote evie, while @ms_intexas said: "Ma'am Melania didn't even want to be at the WH during Christmas what are you talking about?"

Arnolt isn't the first to judge Jill Biden and Melania's Trump's approach to the holiday season.

After Biden's Christmas theme was revealed, social media users compared the display with Trump's past choices, with some applauding the first lady's creativity and others preferring the former model's taste in decor—with past displays including blood red Christmas trees "from The Shining" and her all-white Christmas theme.
