What happened to the tree?

The tree given by Macron to the USA as a gesture of good will and a remembrance of French//USA shared history... Trump used it as a photo op....and it has already disappeared.

Anyone want to bet it was removed because of Macron's speech?

behind his back. (A reverse George Washington).. it was part of Scott Pruitts plan to eradicatde all trees on the planet. Pruitt burned the evidence in the furnace that he burns all the scientific data on global warming and those pesky EPA regulations in.

Not dried up grass. Is that positively the spot where the tree was?
