'Are you still a believer in Santa? Because at seven it's marginal, right?'....

....Said Trump to 7 year old caller to NORAD's Santa tracker, stealing Xmas magic - just cause he can.

What a complete and utter dick

Bad enough that the way this supposed President acts is making for a depressing Christmas for the adults he now has too try and suck the joy of Christmas out of the souls of children as well....

I repeat - a complete and utter dick

Another first for Trump. I don't know if he does this kind of shit deliberately or he's has no idea of how to talk to a child. Either way, it's appalling.

remember when he made a sympathy call to that mother whose son was killed overseas? He couldn't even remember the son's name.

Myeshia Johnson, whose husband, Sgt. La David T. Johnson, was killed early this month in an attack that is under investigation by the United States military, said the president had blundered through the condolence call he made to her last week, only deepening her grief because he did not seem to know her husband’s name.

“The president said, ‘He knew what he signed up for, but it hurts anyway,’” Ms. Johnson said during an interview with ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos. “It made me cry because I was very angry at the tone in his voice and how he said it.”

She said Mr. Trump’s memory seemed to falter during their exchange.

they were speculating that he meant "magical."

When speaking, he just can't get it to come out right.
