The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us. Judges 9 : 8

President Donald Trump announced plans to chop down a tree that was said to have been planted by President Andrew Jackson.
In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump said that he was working with “the wonderful people at the National Park Service” to make “tremendous enhancements to the White House, thereby preserving and protecting History!”
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.Matthew 3 : 10
“One of the interesting dilemmas is a tree planted many years ago by the Legendary President and General, Andrew Jackson,” Trump described. “It is a Southern Magnolia, that came from his home, The Hermitage, in Tennessee. That’s the good news!”
[4] Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs. [5] A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees. Psalm 74 : 4-5

“The bad news is that everything must come to an end, and this tree is in terrible condition, a very dangerous safety hazard, at the White House Entrance, no less, and must now be removed,” he continued.
[13] Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. [18] She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
Proverbs 3 : 13, 18
The historic tree will be chopped down in coming days, and Trump wrote that it will be replaced “by another, very beautiful tree.”
He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches:
Daniel 4 : 14
“The Historic wood from the tree will be preserved by the White House Staff, and may be used for other high and noble purposes!!!” the president added.

Jackson, who served as president from 1829 to 1837, reportedly planted two magnolia trees near the White House in honor of his wife Rachel, who died in 1828. But according to the National Park Service’s (NPS) website, the trees’ connection to Old Hickory is debatable.
“Historical photographic documentation shows that magnolias first appeared at this location near the South Portico in the 1860s, still the trees are attributed to President Jackson,” the agency explained.

“In 2006, the trees were designated as Witness Trees by the National Park Service, having borne witness to many ‘significant historic and cultural events,’” the NPS described. “The base of the trees also took the brunt of a Cessna airplane crash which targeted the White House in September 1994 and were subject to significant branch removal and pruning in December 2017.”
And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

“He is trying to lie his head off and rewrite or destroy history!” a Trump critic wrote. “The tree is much more important than Trump will EVER be!”
