First Lady Melania Trump

Are you waiting for Santa? Do you know... do you know where he is now? He's over Romania.

Kid (Savannah)

Um, I don't really know.

President Trump

Right, 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?

First Lady Melania Trump

Yes, 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.

Kid (Savannah)

Okay.

President Trump

Okay, honey. Take care of yourself. Good. Say hello to Santa if you should see him. Goodbye. Bye. Goodbye.

First Lady Melania Trump

Goodbye, darling. Goodbye. What did you ask Santa for?

President Trump

Thank you, General. Go ahead. General, go ahead.

General

Yes, Mr. President, your operator will be dropping another child on your line here in just a second.

President Trump

Okay.

First Lady Melania Trump

Fantastic! Hello, Merry Christmas! Yes, beautiful... so this way you can hear what's going on. I think it's a little bit better.

President Trump

Oh, that's very nice. One-sided calls are never good. At least you all the best, all your family. Merry Christmas to you.

Operator

We are with Amelia, age eight, from Antelope, Kansas. Santa's in Sweden.

President Trump

Currently in Sweden. Okay, Santa's in Sweden. Hello? Hi, you are now connected with the President of the United States.

Kid (Amelia)

Hi, how are you? Where's Santa? How long until Santa will be here?

President Trump

Okay, 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?

Kid (Amelia)

Um, not coal.

President Trump

Not 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?

Kid (Amelia)

No.

President Trump

What would you like?

Kid (Amelia)

Um, Barbie, an American Girl doll.

President Trump

Barbie, okay. Well you'll get that, I'm sure. What else? Anything else?

Kid (Amelia)

Um, clothes.

President Trump

Clothes, good. That's good.

Kid (Amelia)

And candy.

President Trump

Candy. Well, candy is good. Candy is good. Do you eat candy? Do you eat much candy?

Kid (Amelia)

Um, not much.

President Trump

Yeah. 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?

Kid (Amelia)

Okay.

President Trump

And he's going to have beautiful presents. And say hello to your mom and dad, okay honey?

Kid (Amelia)

Okay.

President Trump

Okay, bye. Bye.

Amelia's Mom

Merry Christmas.

President Trump

Thank you very much. Thank you, Mom. Thank you. You take care of yourself. Sounds like you have a beautiful daughter.

Amelia's Mom

Thank you, thank you very much. Bye.

President Trump

Okay, next.

First Lady Melania Trump

Hello... so smart, right?

President Trump

This is America. Yes. Okay, I'm ready, General.

First Lady Melania Trump

See, she just keeps storming through... perfect. Thank you. That's good. Hello, Walker. Hi, how are you? Merry Christmas. Do you know where Santa is right now?

General

Mr. President, we're going to drop Walker... Thank you, sir.

President Trump

Thank you.

First Lady Melania Trump

He's over Sweden. He's over Sweden. Yeah, did you tracking him?

Operator

Sorry, take a second to get him from line to line.

President Trump

Okay, that's okay. No problem. No problem.

First Lady Melania Trump

What did you ask Santa? What do you want for Christmas?

President Trump

You 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?

First Lady Melania Trump

So he will be hungry when he arrive at your house. Yeah. Do you have brothers and sisters?

Kid (Walker)

You do? How old are you? Brother, okay. Say hello to him.
