According to federal docs, obtained by TMZ, the National Park Service shelled out $139,000 to a company in Ohio to locate, transport and transplant this year's National Christmas Tree just outside the White House.
The feds got a jump on their holiday shopping, signing the tree contract back in September. BTW, the last pre-pandemic National Tree, in 2019, set us back just over $160k -- so, the government actually can spend less!!! Talk about Christmas miracles.After a virtual tree lighting ceremony in 2020 during the height of the pandemic, it looks like things are getting back to normal with a live audience this year ... and that means another big bill.
The docs show the National Park Service dropped an additional $171,000 on"event support" for the 2021 National Christmas Tree Lighting Festivities.
He probably slept through the lighting!
Hey, something else for him to sniff instead of kids.
I could pay my mortgage off with that and retire 🥷🎬
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy cheaper than Trump golf outings. Get over it. And Happy Holidays!
Now matter who is president the amount of money that is spent on things is outrageous, however, let’s just put another mark against Biden!
Hey Republicans, if you think this is to much, maybe take a look at what trump cost the American tax payer just to play golf.
Trump spent $163,984 in 2019 for the tree and it was tacky and ugly. Whats your point?
Wait, I was told repeatedly by the right that Dems wanted to ban Christmas.
Have you seen the prices at home Depot?
come on trolls.
Great way to spend tax dollars 🤣🤣🤷🏾♂️
so what? did anyone say how much trump's tree cost?
I could think of so many things that money could have been used on instead of a tree he’s just gonna toss away
Awesome! Spent thousands less than trump did.
Did you guys do this for the Stormy raw dog payoff?
This pic makes him look 'special'
I could use that money
Where is the reporting on the cost of grumps shit.
doubt it
Why do you so blatantly go on the side that’s morally bankrupt? Trump, Britney’s father, so may more, it’s nit even subtle
Why haven’t you reported on all the other times this tree has been replaced?
letsgoBranden
The guy couldn’t go to Home Depot like the rest of us?!
Of course it did
Cheapskate
I can think of worse things tbf - at least it is a cool tree
BBooorrrriinnngggg
Merry Christmas...
What was the amount that Trump paid off the porn star he raw dogged while third wife was home with a newborn?
Would of been cheaper to rent it ?
For a Christmas tree 😭?
How much was Trump’s?
At the end of his presidency... TOTAL BILL BALANCE: ‽💰💰💰
That's obsurd, no Christmas tree cost that much. He could've just cut his own or went to Target 🎄 😏
Wow! $9,000 more than banging a porn star! Now that’s inflation!
Now i know why he said no to another stimulus check.
SO TMZ: how about listing the sponsors and donors who actually paid for the tree lighting ceremony? Bet that’s difficult for you.
Wtf cost 139000 on that tree..that ridiculous
At least he nerved golfs!!!!
If Biden didn’t put up a Xmas tree, Christians would be like “he’s canceling Xmas” blah blah blah. They do this every year no matter who the president is yet people still act like this is some rare occurrence. Wtf
So?
I still don’t understand how an 80 year old man is in office…
Beautiful
Biden is putting the ‘Christ’ back in Christmas!!!
May have to put you guys in my bill m. box.
Is that why I can’t have my unemployment because he used that money on a hummer and a tree
Didn’t Melania redo an entire garden that had nothing wrong with it?
If you remember, the new National Christmas Tree that Trump did reportedly costed over $164,000, and lighting it cost us even more. So what’s your point!?!?
The tree in 2019 cost $169k. So stop the bias political BS.
And yet there's homeless veterans.... Why am I not surprised.
That’s four holes of golf for TFG
Just call him f*** it up Joe.
I think Tmz should pay for this crap instead of tax payers
Did you pick apart Donny and Mel’s spending? 🤔🙄
Oh,I thought this was an ad for a new National Lampoon’s Christmas vacation movie!
How much did the last tree cost
The White House put out $139,000 for this year’s Christmas tree lighting ceremony along with a $171,000 price tag for the live event. It is only slightly cheaper than the $160,000 the Trump administration dished out in 2019 before the ceremony went virtual due to the pandemic.
Did Hunter paint it?
That cost could feed a lot of homeless people right about now🤔🤷
And?
