Morning Joe opened up a particularly whimsical Friday-in-December show by covering President Donald Trump’s Christmas Tree lighting at the White House — and ruthlessly mocked him for his lackluster crowd at the typically busy event.
“So a beautiful, balmy evening in D.C., no excuse to get outside,” MSNBC’s Katty Kay started, describing the night. “And you go to the Christmas tree lighting — except not many people show up.”
“I’ve never seen it this empty before, never seen it this empty,” Kay added, before a photo of empty seats at the lighting was shown, eliciting audible shock from the Morning Joe panel. “Oh my God!” Mika Brzezinski exclaimed. “Holy moly!” added John Heilemann, before quipping: “That is the biggest turnout at a Christmas tree lighting in history.”
The biggest in history, period!
Traditionally the White House Christmas tree lighting is standing room only. This is what it looked like tonight as President Trump spoke.

If Trump had wanted more of his supporters to come out, he should’ve advertised it as a tiki torch lighting, instead of a Christmas tree lighting. pic.twitter.com/R4Q6OdUs2F
