President Trump and First Lady Melania just hosted the annual National Christmas Tree lighting ceremony.
Like all of Melania’s Christmas decorations, the tree was stunning.
As soon as the lights went on, the crowd roared with applause.
Watch the incredible moment here:

The ceremony was beautiful, elegant, and most importantly, Christ-centered — which is a welcome change from last year’s Christmas season at the White House.
President Trump kept the event focused on the reason for the season: Jesus Christ.
Watch this:
Wow. Trump invokes Jesus at the National Christmas Tree Lighting
“During this holy season, Christians everywhere rejoice at the miracle in Bethlehem more than 2,000 years ago when the Son of God, our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ came down from heaven to be with us”

Merry Christmas, to all!
Big improvement from this, don’t you think?
Prophetic? White House Christmas Tree DEAD, New One Toppled Over
They say God speaks in mysterious ways....
And in other times the message seems to be almost too clear to miss!
That's the case here as the White House Christmas tree has TOPPLED over...blown over by a gust of wind!
You really couldn't make this stuff up if you tried.
Watch this great clip from Jesse Waters explaining what is going on:
Peter Doocy has the most takedown of Joe Biden after a wind topples White House Christmas Tree to the GROUND— A sign from god?
"Biden's biggest problem in the coming election year is going to be Father Time. But tonight it was Mother Nature."🤣

Down she goes!
Reports say the tree "may not be salvageable":
🚨The National Christmas Tree set to be lit by Biden in 48 hours was just “toppled” by the wind, US Parks Service says tree may not be salvageable
Very fitting for the Biden White House.

The memes have come fast and hilariously:
The White House Christmas tree blew over. What an appropriate metaphor for the Biden administration. pic.twitter.com/9CP7xY8Wnj

But there's actually more to the story than just this.
And it's even more prophetic!
PenguinSix, who you may recognize from his great local reporting, reports that this wasn't the original White House tree.
No, in fact the original tree caught a disease and DIED!
This is the replacement tree:
The White House Christmas Tree, a living tree planted just outside on the Ellipse, is dead. Disease ravished the tree so the Park Service decided for the first time in 50 years we would have a cut Christmas tree as the National Tree. That was all well and good, until the winds kicked up and blew that tree over. I was there as workers tried to pick it back up, but then I went over to the US Capitol to catch the tree lighting with the Speaker of the House. But that was disrupted by some Gaza Palestine protesters, who were quickly arrested by the US Capitol Police.
Fascinating!
It reminds me of that classic Monty Python scene ("So I built a third one! .....that burned down, fell over, and then sank into the Swamp"):
Hilarious, right?
And so fitting.
If you'd like to see up close and personal, enjoy this great vid from P6:
This all reminds me of many other prophetic events involving prominent Democrats....
Like this one, anyone remember this? When a falling light almost took out Hillary Clinton?
Classic moment:
