President Biden had a chilling experience as president Annual White House Christmas Tree lighting took place during a windy night in Washington.
The president’s hair has evolved over his half-century in politics, with a plastic surgeon telling DailyMail.com in July that his potential hair reconstruction surgeries would cost more than $100,000.
In the president’s first major appearance since his shock pardon to son Hunter, one photo showed Biden’s hair in tatters, sparking a social media frenzy.
“Biden’s entire presidency summed up in one haircut,” one commenter on X joked.
Another joked that Biden’s hair represented “I’m trying to get through the day.”
One person photographed Donald Trump — whose hair resembled Biden that night — and blew the president’s hair away after he shouted, “You’re fired!”
Someone else pointed out that it’s a sign of how popular Biden’s successor is becoming: “Even Biden is getting the Trump hair.”
As he presided over the final tree lighting at the White House, Biden said his wish for the nation was that “we continue to search for the light of freedom and love, kindness and compassion, dignity and decency.”

Biden spoke briefly to the crowd decked out in heavy winter layers as frigid winds and frigid temperatures hit the nation’s capital.
Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff were also in attendance. The tree is located on the Ellipse outside the South Lawn of the White House and is visible from the street.
The 30-foot red spruce came from Mount Rogers National Recreation Area in Grayson County, Virginia. It was turned over to the White House on November 15.
It’s the last holiday season before Biden. His wife, Jillhas decorated the White House with playful decorations to evoke the “peace and light” of the season.
She missed the relief this year because she was in Doha, Qatar, discussing her women’s health initiative.
So Biden himself did the honors and counted down from five before the tree glowed a cheerful bright green from the tip to the base of the trunk. He wished the audience a Merry Christmas before stepping down to take their seats for musical performances.
Biden said the theme reflects the “peace we feel when we pause and reflect on the blessings and light we see when we gather with loved ones and cherish our time together.”
The tree lighting ceremony is an annual tradition. On Thursday, the artists included Trombone Shorty and Trisha Yearwood.

The White House Christmas display includes a towering tree surrounded by an amusement park-style carousel, copper-colored bells and sleigh bells along a hallway, and a ceiling design that mimics snowfall.
That tree came from a farm in Newland, North Carolina, where Hurricane Helene struck earlier this year. The Cartner Christmas Tree Farm, which had stood for decades, lost thousands of trees to a mudslide.
Either way, Biden would serve as a lame duck for the rest of his presidency, as he announced late in the campaign that he was dropping out of the race.
However, Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris, meaning that Biden’s entire staff and party are waiting for the Republican takeover of the White House and both houses of Congress in January.

Biden aides are debating whether the outgoing Democratic president should issue preemptive pardons for figures newly elected President Donald Trump has named as his political enemies.
Politico reported this on Wednesday that among those being discussed for a general pardon are former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, Sen.-elect Adam Schiff and Dr. being Anthony Fauci.
Biden — who has been busy dealing with the fallout from his decision to pardon his son Hunter for gun and tax crimes — has not yet been included in the discussions, the outlet said.
White House officials fear that pardoning people who have not been charged with a crime could indicate impropriety.
But there are also concerns that if Kash Patel is successfully elevated to head of the FBI, Trump could really go after his critics, as Patel has suggested.
