The President and first lady were woken shortly after retiring to their residence at the White House Thursday night by a commotion on the south lawn.
The Bidens rose and ventured out in to find a large crowd had gathered including a sizeable contingent of the national press.
Making their way to the center of the gathering, Joe and Jill Biden were surprised to see President-elect Donald Trump and his wife Melania at a podium under the national Christmas Tree. The Trumps were joined by their extended family as well as many of the incoming president's cabinet picks, including entrepreneur Elon Musk.
After a short speech in which Mr. Trump called for peace on earth, a return of the hostages in Gaza and an end to wars in the middle-east, the President-elect pushed a large red button on the podium, lighting the tree and bathing the onlookers, including the Bidens, in a shower of colored light.
The President seemed mesmerized by the spectacle and for some minutes stood motionless, staring at the glowing tree with a frozen grin. "It's great", was the Mr. Biden's reply when questioned by a nearby reporter who had noticed the first couple standing in their robes near the front edge of the circle of onlookers. "Merry Christmas!", he exclaimed, "and to all a good night!"
I’m still trying to get some verification and fact checking on this event. Nothing from the frizzy haired WH spokeperson at this time.
I could be wrong, but I don’t think a President-elect has unlimited access to the White House. He is still in civilian mode until January 20th.
We have sure never seen anything like this.
The President of the United States is basically mentally incapacitated with everyone quietly accepting it for his remaining 2 months, we don’t know what has happened to the Vice-President since she lost her presidential race, and the President Elect is meeting with world leaders in Europe, although not even in office.
By the way, your Christmas story is humorous.
Uh, still in EU utopia post church reopening?
Maybe a hologram.
Trump is in Europe right now, and Biden is in Africa.
Isn’t Trump still in Paris for the church reopening?
Don’t quit your day job.
>>we don’t know what has happened to the Vice-President since she lost her presidential race,
But we suspect there is a significant amount of chardonnay and vodka involved. And maybe some ganja and coke.
Only… I can see Joe Biden recite a mumbled version of the Pledge of Allegiance - like Aunt Bethany in National Lampoons Christmas Vacation - ending with “..play ball!…”
This is a true story.
The tree came from Fargo.
YEP.

Pictures of Jill Biden With Donald Trump at Notre Dame Cathedral Spark Quite a Bit of Discussion
I’m just praying he doesn’t stroke out and croak before January 20. Just imagine a President Harris only in town for 30 days or so...imagine the damage she’d do. And then there’d be the “Paul Wellstone-esque” histrionics from Democrats.
