My expectation was that Donald Trump was going to shut down the government over his stupid wall and then he was going to f–k off to Mar-a-Lago for Christmas. Instead, he stayed at the White House for Christmas and rage-tweeted and rage-called children. On Christmas Eve, Trump spoke on the phone to kids who were calling into NORAD’s Santa Tracker. Since Trump lacks the intelligence God gave a fruit fly, he totally screwed it up. How difficult it is to screw up short phone calls to kids on Christmas? All you have to ask is “what do you want Santa to bring you for Christmas?” or “what Christmas candy did you eat?” or “what’s your favorite Christmas song?” or literally ANYTHING. Behold:

A little girl from South Carolina looking to track down Santa Claus’ location on Christmas Eve ended up having an expected conversation with Donald Trump. Collman Lloyd, 7, called NORAD Santa Tracker on Monday night and was redirected to the president himself.

When connected, Lloyd and Trump talked about her plan to leave St. Nick and his reindeers treats. She explained she intended on putting out cookies and hanging out with her friends before heading to bed, according to a video obtained by Post and Courier and WISTV.

“Well, you just have a good time,” Trump told the young girl before asking, “Are you still a believer in Santa?”

Lloyd responded, “Yes, sir.”

However, Trump asked her, “Because at 7, it’s marginal, right?” Though she did not understand what the word “marginal” meant, according to the reports, the child responded, “Yes, sir.”

Lloyd opened up about her conversation with the president explaining to The Post and Courier that she had no idea Trump was on the other line. Nonetheless, Lloyd was taken aback by the fact that she had the opportunity to talk to the president.

“I was like, ‘Wow.’ I was shocked,” Lloyd told the Post and Courier. “It wasn’t really [nerve-wracking), I just had to think of what the truth was,” Lloyd continued to the outlet.

There’s video too, because of course there is. You can just tell how uncomfortable he is speaking to kids in any way, shape of form. Which is just a reminder that all of his wives were the ones raising his children, and he had nothing to do with his kids when they were little. Well, except for Ivanka. But Precious Ivanka learned to talk to her dad, not the other way around.
