Here's photo of last nights attendance:

And for comparison, the lighting of the same tree from the same angle on the Obamas' first ceremony.

Oh lord. Trump gonna have a meltdown over this - plus the whole Flynn thing. I hope someone's got some lithium lined up for the week-end.

In the interests of fairness I thought I'd include a picture of President Hillary Clinton's tree lighting ceremony crowd.

Poor ol' tRump.

Between this and Flynn singing like a canary, it's gonna be a grim December.

Season's Greetings!

Trump has made a push to make it Ok once again to wish people a Merry Christmas but I guess that there are many out there that still consider the phrase "Merry Christmas" racist hate speech and trigger words.
Sad. Oh well . Happy Holidays everyone !

Makes sense nobody would show up. She isn't president. Heck, she didn't even show up.

Post fail.

This is an Obama tree lighting that 'is' from the same angle as your first picture..

You didn't bother to read the comments below the original picture did you? Maybe you should take a look at that before you keep using this link to make your point.

Good. Hopefully they will do away with it altogether. Christmas is the birthday of Christ, not a time to cut down a perfectly good tree to celebrate pagan customs.

That's hilarious. Obama has been out of office for 11 months and he's still sticking it to Little Hands Donald. This definitely bothered Trump I bet.

I love it
