President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump kicked off the holiday season by lighting the National Christmas Tree, a 10-meter fir tree from the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests in Virginia. The ceremony took place before December 6, the date when the tree will be on display for visitors. Melania Trump pressed the button that activated the tree's golden lights, while Trump expressed his love for all citizens, including those who do not like him. In an emotional statement, he cited the example of Jesus Christ, emphasizing the importance of love and care for everyone. This friendly attitude contrasts with his previous comments, in which he insulted political opponents and various groups.
