"The 42-foot tall Colorado blue spruce snapped at its base during high winds Saturday morning in Washington."

This seems odd to me. I've seen trees of that size snap in the middle or near the top in wind storms. I've even seen trees that large uproot during high winds. But I've never seen a 42' footer snap at the base unless there was a tornado.

You would think someone would have even possibly remotely could have anticipated this and could have brought equipment in to help anchor the tree, just shows the appalling disdain and negligence that is occurring at the Whitehouse.

Appears 'plucked up and pulled down'. Less about the fact that it is a Christmas tree, it holds the title of 'national'. Representing something American.

Another strange thing to add to the forebodings that surround this man.

Looks like this should be time for a period of national repentance and turning to the one true God. Perhaps the the Lord would rescue us from the evil leadership currently in place.

Jeremiah 18:7-10 (New King James Version)

"The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it, if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it. And the instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it, if it does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice, then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it."
