Trump takes calls from children on Christmas Eve

The president and first lady fielded calls on separate phones in the living room of their Florida estate, where they are spending the holidays.
The calls came by way of the Track Santa program operated by the North American Aerospace Defense Command.

Trump told a caller from Mississippi that the state is "great" and predicted that "Santa is going to treat you very well."

Trump offered encouragement when a caller from Virginia said he wanted to find building blocks under the Christmas tree.
The president, who made his name and a fortune building things, said: "That's what I always liked, too."

Taking calls from children, though? Who the hell organized that? And what kid would want to talk to Dumpster?

Dotard: "Hello little boy, this is your president."

Little Johnny: "Who?"

Dotard: "This is tRump, the president of the United States."

Little Johnny: "I wanted to talk to Santa, not a big orange pile of doggie poop!"

Dotard: "Oh yeah, well you sound Mexican. You'd better watch out 'cause I'm sending ICE to pick you and your mommy and daddy up and take you to a detention center."

Little Johnny: "I'm not Mexican! I want Santa!"

Dotard: "FAKE NEWS! You are if I say you are. Keep an eye out the window, kid. My ICE stormtroopers are on their way. Say goodbye to your parents. I'm splitting up your family this holiday season and sending you all to different detention centers."

Little Johnny:

I mean, just look at it!! It's a fucking nightmare! No sane person would call that a living room!

That fucking room is incompatible with life as we know it here on Earth.

Make of that whatever you will.

"And what's your name, son?"

'Little Rotten Johnny.'

"And what do you want Santa to bring you for Christmas this year, Little Rotten Johnny?"

'A new president. The one we have now isn't worth a flying fuck.'
