The crowd gathered outside the White House during the lighting of the National Christmas Tree Thursday chanted “four more years” as President Barack Obama turned on the lights.
“Four more years, four more years, four more years,” the group shouted at the 94th annual lighting ceremony of the National Christmas Tree on The Ellipse. (RELATED: Trump Store Sells Gold ‘MAGA’ Hat Christmas Tree Ornament For $150)
