The National Christmas Tree fell over on Tuesday, causing alarm among federal park workers and temporarily questioning plans for the national tree-lighting ceremony. Some critics have used the incident as a metaphor for President Biden's economic policies, while others see it as a relatable mishap during the pressure-filled holiday season.
