In keeping with an annual tradition, the White House released the presidential Christmas photo on Tuesday, of President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.
The photo, taken inside the White House, shows the couple surrounded by Christmas trees, along with the U.S. flag and the presidential flag on each side of the doorway behind them.
Standing hand in hand, Trump is dressed in a black tuxedo while the First Lady is wearing a long black evening gown.

However, many on social media are criticizing the photo because they aren’t smiling.
Why is he not smiling???
