Good. Very good. Let's start. We're ready. Let me speak with the First Lady, speak to the children.\n\nFirst Lady Melania Trump:\nNot yet.\nHello.\n\nPresident Trump:\nWell thank you very much General. Very good. We have the First Lady here... and I think she'll be answering calls separately actually. She'll be talking to some, I'll be talking to some.\n\nGeneral:\nYou have North America to track Santa. Before we connect you to each caller, a member of our team will briefly share the child's first name, age, and city and state where they're calling from, as well as they'll give you Santa's current location. Then there's going to be a brief pause as we connect the child's call and then they'll be placed straight down the line with you. And then you'll hear our team let the child know that they're connected with you, the President.\n\nPresident Trump:\nThat sounds great, General. Do you have any questions? Okay. General, thank you very much. Go ahead.\n\nOperator:\nMr. President, I'm now connecting you to Anastasia who is four years old and Jasper who is 10 years old. They live in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, and Santa is currently headed for Prague, Czech Republic.\n\nPresident Trump:\nOh, very good. That's very exciting. Good. Let me have them.\n\nFirst Lady Melania Trump:\nHello.\n\nPresident Trump:\nHello, hi. How are you? This is the President. Hello. Oh my goodness. Jasper, Annie, hello. Hold on one second.\n\nFirst Lady Melania Trump:\nHello friends.\n\nPresident Trump:\nThe President. How are you? Hi, Mr. Trump. Hello everybody. Hi. I love Oklahoma, by the way. Thank you, Merry Christmas to you. Hi. Merry Christmas. Thank you very much, honey. Very much... very happy Christmas and happy New Year to you.\n\nFirst Lady Melania Trump:\nDo you know where he's flying over?\n\nPresident Trump:\nDo you have a question to ask?\n\nFirst Lady Melania Trump:\nHe's over Germany right now, so in a few hours then he will be at your house at the same time. Yeah, I know. What did you ask Santa to bring you?\n\nPresident Trump:\nGo ahead, you can take your time.\n\nKid (Annie):\nA doll...\n\nPresident Trump:\nOh, go ahead.\n\nKid (Annie):\nAnd Santa has a tracker on him. Yes, I hope he will be nice. Yes. He said how come he has a tracker on him?\n\nPresident Trump:\nWell, we track Santa all over the world. We want to make sure that Santa is being good. You know, Santa's a very good person. We want to make sure that he's not infiltrated... that we're not infiltrating into our country a bad Santa. So we found out that Santa is good. Santa loves you. Santa loves Oklahoma like I do. You know, Oklahoma was very good to me in the election. So I love Oklahoma. Don't ever leave Oklahoma, okay?\n\nKid (Annie):\nOkay, I'll try.\n\nPresident Trump:\nGood. That's good. Annie, you got a question?\n\nKid (Annie):\nGo ahead, honey. Do you want to ask when Santa's going to be here? Okay, ready? Go. When is Santa going to be here?\n\nPresident Trump:\nWell, Santa's gonna stop over tonight, leave you a lot of beautiful presents. Like really beautiful presents. What do you want more than anything else? What present would you like?\n\nFirst Lady Melania Trump:\nHello, Emily. Hello, Merry Christmas. Do you have a big family?\n\nKid (Annie):\nA dollhouse.\n\nPresident Trump:\nWow, a dollhouse. Oh, I think we can work that out. I have a feeling, Mommy, that we can work that out, right? I think Santa's going to bring you the most beautiful dollhouse you've ever seen, okay? Let me know how good the dollhouse is, but we owe a lot to Santa, so I think Santa will fulfill your wish, okay? Thank you, honey. Take care of yourself. Merry Christmas. Say hello to Oklahoma. We love Oklahoma, okay? Thank you. All right, Merry Christmas, thank you. Thank you, darling. Thank you very much.\nOkay, next.\n\nFirst Lady Melania Trump:\nEmily, can you hear me? Maybe she's shy, right? Just talked to Santa... Santa is now over Romania.\n\nPresident Trump:\nFigure you should hear some of this, otherwise you're not going to know what's going on. And she's very good at not listening to this. She's very focused. First Lady's very focused.\nOkay, you can go ahead, next one. General.\n\nFirst Lady Melania Trump:\nI think it will be wonderful if they are very dark, very dark.\n\nGeneral:\nYes, Mr. President, we're about to drop the next one in... on your line, just one moment.\n\nFirst Lady Melania Trump:\nYes, I think it's best if they go to sleep, Emily, it's best if you go to sleep, and then Santa will arrive to your house.\n\nPresident Trump:\nDo you like this better, hearing it? It's better for you. Yes sir, yes sir. And she's able to focus totally without listening to this. At least this way you know what's happening, right?\n\nGeneral:\nMr. President, are we good?\n\nPresident Trump:\nOkay, go ahead.\n\nFirst Lady Melania Trump:\nThank you, thank you very much.\n\nOperator:\nMr. President, we are passing you to Savannah, she's eight years old and she's from Salisbury, North Carolina.\n\nPresident Trump:\nGood. Good. Hi, how are you? Merry Christmas.\n\nFirst Lady Melania Trump:\nYes, it is... hi, how are you? Santa Claus loves to be on your family.\n\nPresident Trump:\nYes, hello, hi. How are you doing? Okay? Hi, how are you? I'm fine. You sound so beautiful and cute. How old are you?\n\nKid (Savannah):\nI'm eight.\n\nPresident Trump:\nWow, so smart. You sound so smart. So do you have a question for Santa or do you want to know anything about Santa?\n\nKid (Savannah):\nSo, I only have one question.\n\nPresident Trump:\nGo ahead.\n\nKid (Savannah):\nSo, um, I don't know... so, will Santa ever get mad if we don't leave him out any cookies?\n\nPresident Trump:\nThis was getting good. Go ahead, say it again, honey. Go ahead. Will Santa ever get mad if we don't leave him out any cookies?\nI think he won't get mad, but I think he'll be very disappointed. You know, Santa's... he tends to be a little on the cherubic side. You know what cherubic means? A little on the heavy side. I think Santa would like some cookies. You'd like to leave some cookies for Santa, right?\n\nFirst Lady Melania Trump:\nOh, hello Emily. Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you. Do you have any questions to ask Santa? He's over Germany right now, so in a few hours then he will be at your house.\n\nKid (Savannah):\nYes.\n\nPresident Trump:\nBut you're not going to forget, you'll leave some. I would leave them. I think Santa has a serious appetite.\n\nKid (Savannah):\nYes.\n\nPresident Trump:\nRight? And it's so good to talk to you. Are you looking for something specific from Santa? What would you like to have as a present?\n\nFirst Lady Melania Trump:\nAre you waiting for Santa? Do you know... do you know where he is now? He's over Romania.\n\nKid (Savannah):\nUm, I don't really know.\n\nPresident Trump:\nRight, that's nice, honey. Well you just take care of yourself. North Carolina's a great place. It's a great place. And you have great... you're surrounded by great people and great parents and say hello to them, okay?\n\nFirst Lady Melania Trump:\nYes, he will be very happy when he arrives to your house. You already have to leave him something, his belly will be full of it.\n\nKid (Savannah):\nOkay.\n\nPresident Trump:\nOkay, honey. Take care of yourself. Good. Say hello to Santa if you should see him. Goodbye. Bye. Goodbye.\n\nFirst Lady Melania Trump:\nGoodbye, darling. Goodbye. What did you ask Santa for?\n\nPresident Trump:\nThank you, General. Go ahead.\nGeneral, go ahead.\n\nGeneral:\nYes, Mr. President, your operator will be dropping another child on your line here in just a second.\n\nPresident Trump:\nOkay.\n\nFirst Lady Melania Trump:\nFantastic! Hello, Merry Christmas! Yes, beautiful... so this way you can hear what's going on. I think it's a little bit better.\n\nPresident Trump:\nOh, that's very nice. One-sided calls are never good. At least you all the best, all your family. Merry Christmas to you.\n\nOperator:\nWe are with Amelia, age eight, from Antelope, Kansas. Santa's in Sweden.\n\nPresident Trump:\nCurrently in Sweden. Okay, Santa's in Sweden. Hello? Hi, you are now connected with the President of the United States.\n\nKid (Amelia):\nHi, how are you? Where's Santa? How long until Santa will be here?\n\nPresident Trump:\nOkay, well Santa's now in Sweden. So Santa's got quite a trip to get to your great area, your great part of the world, because you live in a terrific place. But I would say Santa will make it in record time, probably in about five hours. Five hours from now, Santa will be coming down your chimney and have a beautiful present for you. What would you like Santa to bring?\n\nKid (Amelia):\nUm, not coal.\n\nPresident Trump:\nNot coal. No, you don't want... well, coal is... you mean clean, beautiful coal. I had to do that, I'm sorry. No, coal is clean and beautiful. Please remember that at all costs. But you don't want clean, beautiful coal, right?\n\nKid (Amelia):\nNo.\n\nPresident Trump:\nWhat would you like?\n\nKid (Amelia):\nUm, Barbie, an American Girl doll.\n\nPresident Trump:\nBarbie, okay. Well you'll get that, I'm sure. What else? Anything else?\n\nKid (Amelia):\nUm, clothes.\n\nPresident Trump:\nClothes, good. That's good.\n\nKid (Amelia):\nAnd candy.\n\nPresident Trump:\nCandy. Well, candy is good. Candy is good. Do you eat candy? Do you eat much candy?\n\nKid (Amelia):\nUm, not much.\n\nPresident Trump:\nYeah. Well, you just... you eat as much as you want. Be healthy, okay? But Santa's going to... Santa's going to be there in about five hours, leaving Sweden right now. He's taking care of Sweden, leaving right now, okay?\n\nKid (Amelia):\nOkay.\n\nPresident Trump:\nAnd he's going to have beautiful presents.

He's over Sweden. Yeah, did you tracking him?\n\nOperator:\nSorry, take a second to get him from line to line.\n\nPresident Trump:\nOkay, that's okay. No problem. No problem.\n\nFirst Lady Melania Trump:\nWhat did you ask Santa? What do you want for Christmas?\n\nPresident Trump:\nYou don't know? This is a nice time, right? You like the room overall? Nice. No ceiling height problem. Plenty of room for you for your mics, right?\n\nFirst Lady Melania Trump:\nSo he will be hungry when he arrive at your house. Yeah. Do you have brothers and sisters?\n\nKid (Walker):\nYou do? How old are you? Brother, okay. Say hello to him.\n\nOperator:\nMr. President, I'm now connecting you to Cruz who is five years old from State College, Pennsylvania.

So, so Santa right now is in Copenhagen, Denmark. Denmark. And... but he's heading toward our country. What would you like from Santa?\n\nKid (Cruz):\nA 3D pen and I want a movie... and I want um, science stuff and a robot.\n\nPresident Trump:\nWow, you'll get all of it.

Okay, General, we're ready.\n\nGeneral:\nYes, Mr. President, we'll work another one through.\n\nPresident Trump:\nOkay. 4.3 GDP yesterday. That was two points more than they thought people... the tariffs did it. The tariffs came through, as I said they would. Great numbers, great financial numbers. I don't think the kids are too interested in that. I think they like to talk about other things. How are you doing, First Lady? Oh, look at you. Isn't this the greatest First Lady? People love our First Lady, right honey? Look at her, how elegant is the First Lady. Look at you. I'm not supposed to be doing this, you know.\n\nFirst Lady Melania Trump:\nMet anybody else?

Hi, how are you both? Okay? Yes, Spencer and Beckett, you are on the phone with the President of the United States. And you know who I have here with me? The First Lady. We have the First Lady of the United States. That's exciting, that's more exciting than the President, actually.\n\nFirst Lady Melania Trump:\nGo ahead, so you know where Santa is. Santa is very far away, but heading to your state very quickly, heading to your state. So, and what do you want from Santa? Oh, that's a hard one.\n\nKid (Spencer):\nHello. For me, I probably most want a Kindle.\n\nPresident Trump:\nYou want what?\n\nKid (Spencer):\nA Kindle.\n\nPresident Trump:\nOh, wow. That's pretty good. Well, you must be a high IQ person. We need more high IQ people in the country. So, we definitely need more high IQ.\n\nFirst Lady Melania Trump:\nAlso, what about some of the... of a pinball machine?\n\nKid (Beckett):\nA pinball, pinball machine. That's great.\n\nPresident Trump:\nYou know Elton John? He did Pinball Wizard. We'll have to send you a copy of Pinball Wizard. Well, that sounds great, actually.

Thank you so much for accepting their call.\n\nPresident Trump:\nOh, absolutely. You sound fantastic. And the kids sound great, right? They sound great. The country's doing well, and we've saved our country. Our country was not going so good, now it's doing great. Great numbers, great everything, so we're... we're in very good shape. This is going to be a good Christmas. But I just want to thank you and I think... I think that Santa's going to really be good to you tonight. Be coming to your area in about six or seven hours when you're sleeping, but Santa's going to be very good to you.\n\nSpencer's Mom:\nYes sir, thank you. We appreciate that.\n\nPresident Trump:\nNo, thank you honey. And have a great Christmas. And Mom, have a great Christmas, okay? and your family. Thank you very much. You sound so great.
