President Trump tells 7-year-old that Santa Claus isn't real during traditional Christmas phone call
President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump answered phone calls from anxious children who wanted to know the whereabouts of Father Christmas
President Donald Trump reportedly told a seven-year-old boy during a traditional White House Christmas phone call that believing in Santa Claus at his age is "marginal." The president reportedly made the remark when he and First Lady Melania Trump took phone calls from anxious children who called to know the whereabouts of Father Christmas, according to reports.
Trump, in one conversation, asked the name of a seven-year-old boy called Coleman, and said, "Are you still a believer in Santa?" He then listened to the child for a moment and then added "Because, at 7, it's marginal, right?"
The Republican then listened again and chuckled before saying, "Well, you just enjoy yourself," according to ABC News.
