President Trump Participates in NORAD Santa Calls

All right, Merry Christmas... thank you. Merry Christmas, Mom.

Is this Mr. Trump?

Hi, Cruz. Hi. Pennsylvania. Right, I know. Oh, Pennsylvania's great. We won Pennsylvania. Actually three times, but... we won Pennsylvania. We won it in a landslide, so I love 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?

A 3D pen and I want a movie... and I want um, science stuff and a robot.

Wow, you'll get all of it. Mom, I think he's going to get all of it, don't you think from Santa?

Thank you. Merry Christmas, General. I think so, he was really good. Yes. Say 'we love President Trump', right?

Yeah.

And I voted... we voted... oh, wow.

I'll bet your mom voted properly. Well, we love... we love that wonderful place you come from, you know, we have... have very good feelings about it. We did so well there. So I appreciate it, Mom. Okay, we... Pennsylvania's a great place. Really great place. So I want to thank you. And good luck, and I hope you get everything you want, but I think Santa will come through. He's heading here from Denmark and he should be here in about five hours. But you'll be sleeping, right?

Yeah.

Well, you sleep. Well, when you wake up in the morning, you're going to be the happiest young man.

Yeah, I'm excited.

You're excited. Well, I'm excited too, because the country's doing well. And Mom, thank you very much, okay? Thank you, Mom.

You're welcome. Merry Christmas, President Trump.

And you too. You too and your whole family. Thank you, darling. Take care of yourself. Bye. Thank you. Bye-bye. Thank you. Nice, right? Could do this all day long. We have to get back to China, Russia, Ukraine... we have to get back to other things, but this is... you could do this all day long. Okay, General, we're ready.

Yes, Mr. President, we'll work another one through.

Okay. 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.

Met anybody else? Are they calling?

They have one more for you right now.

They do? Okay.

This will be both your last call.

Okay, perfect.

Is that her last call? Both of you. Okay, good. General, I'm ready.

Thank you, Mr. President. I think they have one coming through right now.

See, we put a general in charge because we want to make sure it works out right.

Did you make a Christmas list? Yeah? Are you guys going back or are you going to stay here?

Exciting time, right? For the country, it's exciting. We're doing... we're doing well. Yes sir, yes sir.

Mr. President, I have Spencer up on the phone for you, he's age 10, and Beckett, age six, they're from Tacoma, Washington.

Good. Wow, that's great. 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.

Go 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.

Hello. For me, I probably most want a Kindle.

You want what?

A Kindle.

Oh, 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.

Also, what about some of the... of a pinball machine?

A pinball, pinball machine. That's great.

You know Elton John? He did Pinball Wizard. We'll have to send you a copy of Pinball Wizard. Well, that sounds great, actually. So Santa's not going to let you down. Santa is a good Santa. Not going to let you down. Mom, how are you doing, okay?

We're fantastic, Mr. President. Thank you so much for accepting their call.

Oh, 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.

Yes sir, thank you. We appreciate that.

No, 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. You sound great and your kids sound great. Thank you very much. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, sir.

Nice talking to you. And General, thank you very much. You did a great job. That's not easy coordination, actually. Thank you, you too General. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Bye. Goodbye. Good job, right? I mean, they did a good job. Thank you all very much. Thank you, sir. Thank you, Mr. President.
