Trump, First Lady Melania participate in NORAD Santa calls
President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump spent Christmas
Eve fielding NORAD Santa calls from children around the country asking
about Santa’s location.
On Wednesday, the president and first lady joined the North American
Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) Santa Track hotline from their
Mar-a-Lago home, where they will be celebrating the Christmas holiday.
While Melania privately talked to children asking questions about
Santa Claus, the president put his phone on speaker to allow the press
to listen in on their curious inquiries.

8-year-old Savannah of North Carolina asked the president if Saint Nick would be “mad” if he didn’t receive cookies.
“I think he won’t get mad, but I think he’ll be very disappointed. Santa tends to be a little on the cherubic side.”

Trump asked 8-year-old Emilia of Kansas what she would like Santa to bring her for Christmas.
“Um, not coal,” she coyly responded.
“Not coal, no you don’t want coal — you mean clean, beautiful coal. I had to do that, I’m sorry,” Trump replied with a laugh.
Trump notified 10-year-old Jennifer of Oklahoma and her 4-year-old
sister Anastasia that the United States found that “Santa is good!”
“We track Santa all over the world. We want to make sure that Santa
is being good. Santa is a very good person. We want to make sure that
he’s not infiltrating, that we’re not infiltrating into our country a
bad Santa,” the president said.
“So, we found out that Santa is good. Santa loves you. Santa loves
Oklahoma, like I do,” Trump added, before promising the children that
“Santa is going to bring you the most beautiful doll house you’ve ever
seen.”
