Seven-year-old girl in Donald Trump call still believes in Santa


Seven-year-old girl in Donald Trump call still believes in Santa
Girl told by president it was ‘marginal’ for child her age to believe still left out milk and cookies


..................

Collman had called the Norad Tracks Santa programme on Monday night to check on Santa’s journey delivering toys. In an interview with the Charleston Post and Courier, she said the scientist who answered the Norad phone asked her if she would like to speak to the president.

Six minutes later, Trump was on the line. “Are you still a believer in Santa?” Trump asked. When she responded “yes, sir,” the president added, “Because at seven, that’s marginal, right?”

Collman did not know what “marginal” meant and simply answered: “Yes, sir.” Trump closed by saying: “Well, you just enjoy yourself.”

.................

Collman told the Post and Courier that she and her 10-year-old sister and five-year-old brother left out iced sugar cookies and chocolate milk for Santa. She reported that on Christmas morning the food was gone and presents were under the tree.
