First lady Melania Trump arrives before President Donald Trump and former Democratic Vice President Joe Biden participate in the final presidential debate at Belmont University.
Melania Trump’s announcement that a Halloween celebration will be held at the White House despite the coronavirus pandemic has been met with swift and overwhelming criticism.
The first lady shared on Twitter Sunday the plan to host the Trump administration’s fourth annual Halloween celebration.
The front doors of the White House will open to frontline workers, military families, school children, and cheaters or cheaters from 3.30 to 7.30 p.m.
“We hope to see you all at the festivities this year!” She wrote.

In a statement, Donald Trump confirmed that “additional precautions” will be taken to “help ensure the health and safety of all guests who wish to participate in this year’s spooky celebration.”
Those precautions include providing hand sanitizer, a requirement that guests wear face masks and practice social distancing, and a no-contact approach to interaction.
But many called the invitation a “super spreader” event waiting to happen.
Covid-19 has claimed the lives of more than 224,000 Americans.
“While the rest of us sacrifice family gatherings, embrace our grandchildren, and school learning, the WH continues to host high-profile events that sacrifice the health of Americans,” wrote one Twitter user, while another said: ” By all means, try to infect as many people as possible by hosting another super diffuser event. 11 days. Start packing. “
Hosting public events while ordinary Americans sacrifice Christmas traditions and seeing loved ones is called deaf.
“And to think that my community does not suggest any trick or treat for the safety of the common good of our citizens. You are really incredible,” added another.
The other half of the responses focused on the 545 children who were separated from their families at the US-Mexico border and have yet to be found.
“Will you welcome the 545 children whose parents somehow ‘misplaced’, or are they being treated so well in their cages that they don’t need any more treats?” asked a Twitter user.
Another wrote: “There are 545 children who would look forward to seeing their parents again. Do you mind? I doubt it.”
The Trump administration introduced a zero tolerance family separation policy for undocumented immigrants who entered the United States three years ago. Two-thirds of the parents in question had been sent back to their home countries in Central America, according to a court file from the American Civil Liberties Union. The children were left behind.
During the final presidential debate, thousands of viewers thought they heard Trump say that it was “good” that those 545 children had lost their parents.
In fact, he said “go ahead” to the moderator.
A couple of commenters asked when the first lady will install her infamous Christmas decorations.
