Biden lights 30-foot White House Christmas tree... and everyone is saying the same thing

President Biden had a hair-raising experience as the White House’s annual Christmas tree lighting took place during a windy night in Washington.

The president’s hairstyle has changed over the course of his fifty years in politics, and according to a plastic surgeon interviewed by DailyMail.com in July, the cost of potential hair restoration surgeries could exceed 0,000.

In the president’s first major appearance since his shock pardon of son Hunter, one photo showed Biden’s hair in tatters, leading to social media to pile on. 

‘Biden’s entire presidency summed up in a hairdo,’ joked one commenter on X.  

Another joked that Biden’s hair represented ‘Me trying to get through the day.’

One person photoshopped Donald Trump – whose hair Biden resembled on the night – blowing the president’s hair away after yelling: ‘You’re fired!’

Someone else pointed out that its a sign of how popular Biden’s successor is becoming: ‘Even Biden is getting the Trump hair.’

As he presided over his final White House tree lighting, Biden said his wish for the nation was that ‘we continue to seek the light of liberty and love, kindness and compassion, dignity and decency.’

Biden spoke briefly to the crowd who were decked out in heavy winter layers as frigid winds and chilly temperatures hit the nation’s capital. 

Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff were also in attendance. The tree has been set up on the Ellipse outside the White House South Lawn, and it’s visible on the streets.

The 30-foot red spruce tree came from Mount Rogers National Recreation Area in Grayson County, Virginia. It was transferred to the White House on Nov. 15.

It´s the final holiday stretch for Biden. His wife, Jill, has decked out the White House with whimsical decorations to evoke the ‘peace and light’ of the season. 

She missed the lighting this year because she was in Doha, Qatar, where she was discussing her initiative on women´s health.

So Biden did the honors himself, counting down from five before the tree light up a cheery bright green from the tip-top to the bottom of the trunk. He wished the crowd a Merry Christmas before stepping down to take his seat for musical performances.

Biden said the theme reflects the ‘peace we feel as we pause and reflect our on blessings and the light we see as we gather with loved ones and cherish our time together.’

The tree lighting ceremony is an annual tradition. On Thursday, Trombone Shorty and Trisha Yearwood were among the performers.

The White House Christmas display includes a towering tree surrounded by an amusement park-style carousel, brass-colored bells and sleigh bells lining a hallway, and a ceiling design that mimics snowfall.

That tree came from a farm in Newland, North Carolina, where Hurricane Helene struck earlier this year. The Cartner´s Christmas Tree Farm , which had stood for decades, lost thousands of trees to a mudslide.

Biden was going to serve out the rest of his presidency as a lame duck regardless, as he announced late in the campaign that he was quitting the race.

However, Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris, meaning the entire staff and Biden’s entire party are waiting for the Republican takeover of the White House and both houses of Congress in January.

Aides of Biden are debating whether the outgoing Democratic president should issue preemptive pardons for figures President-elect Donald Trump has named as his political enemies.

Politico reported Wednesday that among those being discussed for blanket pardons are former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, Sen.-elect Adam Schiff and Dr. Anthony Fauci. 

Biden – who has been busy dealing with the fallout from his decision to pardon his son Hunter over gun and tax crimes – hasn’t been brought into the discussions yet, the outlet said. 

White House officials fear that doling out pardons to people who haven’t been charged with a crime could suggest impropriety.

But there’s also a worry that if Kash Patel is successfully elevated to head of the FBI, Trump could truly go after his critics, as Patel has suggested.
