Donald Trump has made it clear that crowd size is important to him, so some of the president’s Twitter critics couldn’t resist trolling him over a photo of empty seats at the National Christmas Tree Lighting. However, Trump found other aspects of the ceremony to boast about.
As reported by the Los Angeles Times, Donald Trump and his wife Melania lit the National Christmas Tree on Thursday night. The couple stood on a stage decorated with poinsettias while the president counted down from ten, and the first lady pushed the button that transformed the tree behind them into a festive display of thousands of twinkling lights. Donald Trump later took to Twitter to share two videos of his first experience taking part in the annual event. He’s often bragged about how he’s going to make Americans say “Merry Christmas again,” so he made sure to reference this in his short post-lighting speech.
