Display on the National Mall 100 Christmas Trees, medium height. Each representing a different part of America that makes us great. Each tree needs 300 ornaments, so 30,000 ornaments total.

• Scouting Tree (There are 248 scouting councils in the U.S.. Each creates one ornament to represent them).

Etc... .

100 individual trees, each small enough to have individual themes and get its own attention, each having special ornaments donated from the community. Trees not too big, so 300 ornaments will be enough for each. Everyone represented.

Auto workers, plumbers, electricians, wood workers, immigrants, etc... everyone who built this nation has a place of respect. After Christmas, the ornaments can be put on display for a year at the Smithsonian.

I think it would be an excellent way for the Trump Administration to show that EVERYONE who helps build America is important. Noone is forgotten.
We celebrate differences that make America great.

Two Chinese-flagged very large crude carriers (VLCCs), the Thousand Sunny and the Xing Ye, are en route to or near Venezuela despite a U.S. blockade on oil shipments to and from the country. The Thousand Sunny is expected to arrive near Venezuela in mid-January, while the Xing Ye is already off French Guiana, awaiting to load crude at Venezuela’s Jose Terminal.

The Thousand Sunny has been making regular voyages between Venezuela and China for five years. It rounded the Cape of Good Hope on December 24, 2025 on its way to load Venezuelancrude oil despite the U.S. blockade.

The Xing Ye loaded Venezuelan crude in August 2025 and has returned for another cargo. It is scheduled to load in Venezuela next week.

Both will learn today that the oil terminals are closed. No oil. You can't dock. Now sail back home.
