Christmas Eve unfolded with a unique twist as President and Mrs. Trump answered calls at the NORAD Santa Tracker, fielding questions from children eagerly awaiting Santa’s arrival. From their location at Mar-a-Lago, the pair engaged with youngsters across the nation, offering festive greetings and unexpected commentary.
A young caller requesting a Kindle prompted an unusual response from the President. He declared the child a “high-IQ person,” emphasizing the nation’s need for more individuals with exceptional intelligence. The moment highlighted a curious tangent within the holiday tradition.
An eight-year-old girl from North Carolina voiced concern about disappointing Santa by omitting cookies from her offering. The President, with a playful tone, suggested Santa might be “very disappointed,” describing him as “a little on the cherubic side.” It was a lighthearted exchange that captured the spirit of childhood wonder.
When a child in Kansas expressed a wish to avoid coal, the President interjected with a familiar refrain. He insisted on the merits of “clean, beautiful coal,” a phrase he’s repeatedly used to advocate for the fuel source, before quickly pivoting to ask what the child truly desired.
The President’s fondness for Oklahoma surfaced during a call from the state, where he reminded a young caller of his electoral success. He declared, “Santa loves Oklahoma like I do,” and urged the child to remain in the state, linking the holiday spirit to his political victories.
A more unusual conversation arose regarding the security of Santa’s journey. The President revealed the importance of tracking Santa “all over the world,” emphasizing the need to prevent “a bad Santa” from infiltrating the country. He ultimately assured the child, “We found that Santa is Good!”
These interactions, a blend of holiday cheer and the President’s characteristic pronouncements, offered a distinctly memorable Christmas Eve experience for the children who participated and a glimpse into an unconventional White House tradition.
