Trump asks child if he believes in Santa during NORAD calls

[left-of-center2012]

President Trump and first lady Melania Trump joined the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) call center remotely from the White House on Monday to take questions about Santa’s location from children across the country.

The Trumps by 6:30 p.m. on Monday night were accepting calls from children patched through to White House lines by NORAD.

"Hello, is this Coleman," Trump said in a booming voice, according to the pool report. "Merry Christmas. How are you? How old are you?.... Are you doing well in school? Are you still a believer in Santa?"
"Because at seven it's marginal, right?" Trump says.

Trump also could be heard asking children where they were from and thanking a general, the pool report said.
"Nothing new on the shutdown," Trump told reporters. "We need more border security."

2. well...

if he did before he won't anymore. I still remember when i was told Santa wasn't real, thankfully it wasn't on Christmas Eve. Good God what a dunce. He clearly can't do anything without it being completely awkward.

7. Hey Donnie Boy, go ask your grandchildren the same thing.

I double dog dare you!

8. "No, Mr. President, I do not believe in Santa anymore. Do you believe in impeachment Mr. President?

it is NOT marginal."

[ProudLib72]

19. "No, but I believe in Satan because I'm talking to him right now"

If Rump's heart grew three times its size, you would still need an electron microscope to see it.

20. To funny.

9. "Because at seven it's marginal, right?"

The Onion has come to life and it has the nuclear codes!

10. He is just all kinds of dicks. nt

11. Lol..He is so awful.

[3catwoman3]

12. What a moronic thing to do.

Why would you ask a 7 yr old if he is still a believer in St. Nick? Aren’t most 7 yr olds who participate in that Culture? And on Christmas Eve, no less.

This jerk is a one man wrecking crew.

13. He can't even do simple shit right...Smh nt

[Sneederbunk]

14. At least he did not threaten to have Santa shot down.

After all Santa does not have a passport and reindeer are not native.

15. And Claus would be an illegal from the North Pole crossing our border?

16. Shame on the parents of those kids.

Anyone with a lick of sense would not let their child interact with Trump. In any way. For any reason.

[Sgent]

17. I think he was answering calls

from the NORAD Santa Tracker line (which is staffed with mostly Air Force volunteers).

21. Any time your 7 year old is on the phone, you should be paying attention.

And those kids were calling NORAD (which is fine, so far as it goes) but then some selection of them were being forwarded to the Trumps at the White House. THAT'S the moment when, as a parent, you need to say "nope" and hang up for your kid.

Under no circumstance is my seven year old speaking with Donald Trump on the telephone, no matter who we intended to call initially. He is a disgusting social deviant, a moral monster, a criminal, and a malicious traitor. I will not expose my child to that person in person, full stop. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

18. Incredibly stupid.

I don't think I've ever met anyone quite this dense.

22. +1, Red Don is clinically stupid ... His IQ might be low enough to qualify for SSDI

His speed of processing is very low

23. "Trump asks child if he believes in Santa" ???

A 7 year old child,
calling NORAD to see where enroute Santa is,
believes in Santa.

I suspect Trump always made sure his kids knew their Christmas gifts
came from Trump and not any Santa.

24. Believing in a wall & countless things is beyond "marginal" for SHITLER! Wait he *doesn't* believe!1
