'She has gotten the greatest reviews I’ve ever seen,' the president added.

The POTUS remarked, "The first year, year one, she did the trees, they were white and they were so beautiful. And the fake news hit her hard. The next year, they were red. Gorgeous red. They hit her hard. The next year, they were another color. They hit her..."

Despite seemingly praising her efforts in his previous statement, Donald admitted he begged her to "make the trees green" this year.

"I said, 'Baby, do me a favor. Do me a favor. Make the trees green. Let ‘em just be green,'" he said. "'It’s so beautiful. Let it be great.' Anyway, she has gotten the greatest reviews I’ve ever seen, and nobody has ever gotten reviews like this for the White House."
