President Donald Trump and the First Lady, Melania Trump, had some fun on Christmas Eve talking with kids on the NORAD Santa Tracker hotline. They made the calls from in front of the Christmas tree in their Mar-a-Lago home.
Trump had some humorous moments.
He told Jennifer, 10, from Oklahoma, and her little sister that they track Santa all over the world and make sure that Santa is a good person.

Q: "How come Santa has a tracker on him?"
TRUMP: "He's a very good person. We want to make sure we're not INFILTRATING into our country! Santa loves you!" 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/7BEidaLuCl
“So we found out that Santa is good. Santa loves you. Santa loves Oklahoma, like I do,” the president replied. He checked with the mom and said he thought that Santa was going to bring her "the most beautiful doll house."
He asked Emilia, 8, from Kansas, what she wanted. She thought a moment and said, "Not coal."
🚨 LMFAO! Funniest. President. EVER.

TRUMP: What do you want for Christmas?
CHILD: Not coal!
TRUMP: Well, you mean clean, BEAUTIFUL COAL! 😂 I had to do it, I'm sorry. Coal is clean and beautiful. Please remember that, at all costs!
There is nobody like him 😭 pic.twitter.com/qBoUONEn7q
Trump understood, but then thought he didn't want to say anything bad about coal when he's doing what he can to revitalize the energy industry to help drop prices. "You mean clean, beautiful coal!" he joked, breaking out into great laughter. But she wasn't going for the coal; she wanted a Barbie, and he said he thought she would get that. She also put in a request for candy, and Trump encouraged that, but hastened to add, "Be healthy."
Trump made one of the kids laugh in an exchange when the child said he wanted a Kindle. Trump responded that he must be a "high-IQ person." The child giggled at that, as Trump said we needed more people like that.
🚨 OMG, this is VINTAGE TRUMP!

KID: "I want a Kindle this year."
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "Wow! You must be a high-IQ person. We need MORE high-IQ people in the country."
KID: *Cracks up*
TRUMP: "We DEFINITELY need more high-IQ!"

One of the funniest exchanges was when a child asked if Trump thought that Santa would be mad if she didn't leave him cookies. Trump reassured her that he might be disappointed, but he wouldn't be mad. He joked that Santa wanted cookies because he was a bit on the "cherubic side."
🚨 LMFAO! Best president EVER

CHILD: Will Santa get mad if we don't leave him cookies?
TRUMP: He won't get mad - he'll be VERY disappointed. Santa tends to be on the CHERUBIC side. You know what cherubic means? On the heavy side. Santa would like some cookies. You'd like to… pic.twitter.com/SQrSEkeZZ8
"You know what cherubic means? On the heavy side. Santa would like some cookies. You'd like to leave some cookies, right?" he said. She enthusiastically responded yes. Trump said Santa had a "serious appetite." I'm thinking that kid will never forget the word "cherubic."
Trump and Melania also had a sweet moment where he praised how "elegant" she was and deemed her the "greatest First Lady," while she beamed.
🚨 President Trump LOVES Melania, he can't help it! The Left HATES this.
