President Trump and wife Melania Trump took time out from wrestling with taxes, Democrats and foreign governments to indulge in elegant beauty on Wednesday night. 

The Donald was on hand to light the national Christmas tree, and said a brief few words that were as beautiful as the glowing pine branches. 

“For Christians this is a holy season, the celebration of the birth of our lord and savior Jesus Christ,” he said to a crowd in rapt attention.

Meanwhile, the full story from The Hill:

President Trump presided over the annual lighting of the national Christmas tree on Thursday, his first time at the ceremony as president.  

“Now, as president of the United States, it’s my tremendous honor to finally wish America and the world a very merry Christmas,” Trump said before counting down the lighting of the “very beautiful” tree.

“For Christians this is a holy season, the celebration of the birth of our lord and savior Jesus Christ,” Trump said in his remarks. “There’s hardly an aspect of our lives today that his life has not touched – art, music, culture, law and our respect for the sacred dignity of every person, everywhere in the world,” he said.

President Calvin Coolidge was the first president to preside over the national Christmas tree lighting at its current location in 1923.

Trump marked another White House holiday tradition earlier this month with the annual presidential turkey pardon, a Thanksgiving tradition dating back to President George H.W. Bush in 1989.  

“We pray that our country will be a place where every child knows a home filled with love, a community rich with hope, and a nation blessed with faith,” the president said.

Will Donald and Melania get to light the tree on its 100th anniversary in 2023?
