Trump and first lady Melania Trump late Monday took calls from children about Santas whereabouts, a presidential tradition in conjunction with the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).
"Merry Christmas. How are you? Trump asked one caller. How old are you?.... Are you doing well in school? Are you still a believer in Santa?"
After a short pause to hear the childs response, the president then added: Because at seven, its marginal, right?
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) later tweeted disapproval of Trumps remark, saying: Its just too freaking fantastic that Trump spent his Christmas Eve calling seven year olds and telling them believing in Santa at their age is marginal, "
If youre 7, yes, Santa Claus exists and loves you, tweeted former U.S. attorney Preet Bharara, a prominent Trump critic. And hes on his way.

children. That's my guess... He's not really a father... his wives may have had something to do with his children, but I don't think Trump has much use for people when they are young kids.

I am sure that was a Halloween they won't forget in a hurry.
