“The tree planted by Donald Trump and his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, at the White House as a symbol of their countries’ ties has died.

The oak was given as a gift to the US president during Macron’s visit in 2018. In a tweet at the time, Macron said: “100 years ago, American soldiers fought in France, in Belleau to defend our freedom. This oak tree (my gift to @realDonaldTrump]) will be a reminder at the White House of these ties that bind us.”

Relations between the two leaders have since frayed – over issues ranging from Iran to trade – and, it appears, the tree has fared little better.”

What are they going to roll out to replace her?
empty box?
damp washcloth?
bag of old, dead 9v batteries?
They won't. Her last briefing was over 3 months ago, so what's the point? Do you know how many empty cabinet level positions there are? Why would they bother to replace an empty suit like Huckleberry Geobbles when they aren't even bothering to fill positions that actually ensure the safety and security of the country?

One would hope that the gaps that allow "acting" heads to remain in that role seemingly indefinitely would get filled now that mr mango has exposed them.

Perhaps this clears the way to have Fox News act as full-time presidential propaganda arm?
