Photos of the 'pathetic' spruce were shared to social media on Saturday, with dozens of users claiming it perfectly reflected a gloomy year that featured racially-motivated violence, political turmoil and a global pandemic.

'Not sure what happened to the Christmas tree at Fountain Square but it's the most #Christmas2020 tree ever,' Cincinnati Enquirer photojournalist Cara Owsley wrote on Twitter.

I’ll bet the Macy’s in Cincinnati has more customers than the original Macy’s in Manhattan

It Closed a couple of years back and they moved the Corporate HQ out of downtown too.

The building is as empty the tree.

It will be interesting to see how Antifa and BLM treat Christmas displays. After all, Christmas as we now celebrate it, is a white European patriarchal tradition.

No, not CGI. They called in one of those cell phone tower companies that are so good at making towers into trees.

And, of course, calling it CHRISTmas is the ultimate insult to AntiFa and BLM types!
