Apparently Santa is fake news. SAD!
President Donald Trump told a child that believing in Santa was “marginal” as he and first lady Melania took calls from children who wanted to find out where the big man in red was on delivery night.
Trump asked a 7-year-old named Coleman: “Are you still a believer in Santa?” before adding: “Because at 7, it’s marginal, right?”
He then laughed, before saying: “Well, you just enjoy yourself.”

In another phone call, Trump managed to contain himself from revealing Santa didn’t exist.
“What’s Santa going to get you for Christmas?” he asked. “Have a great Christmas, and I’ll talk to you again, OK?”
Since 1955Â NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, has used it radar system to track Santa on his trip around the globe on Christmas Eve.
