Trump Warns Child About Dangers Of ‘A Bad Santa’ Infiltrating U.S.

Although Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown is focused mostly on the southern border, he admitted on Wednesday that his administration is also tracking people entering the country from the north.

And yep, that includes Santa Claus.

The president and first lady Melania Trump were answering phone calls made to the NORAD Tracks Santa hotline from kids wondering about Santa’s current location, when one child had a big question: Does Santa have a tracker on him?

Trump said yes, but then went on a tangent where he suggested Jolly Old St. Nick might not be completely on the up-and-up.

“We track Santa all over the world,” Trump admitted. “We want to make sure that Santa is being good, because Santa is a very good person.”

He then told the caller, “We want to make sure that he’s not infiltrated, that we’re not infiltrating into our country a bad Santa.”

The president then told the child, “We found out that Santa is good, Santa loves you,” before changing the subject to something he’s more familiar with: himself and his glorious election totals.

“Santa loves Oklahoma like I do. You know, Oklahoma was very good to me in the election, so I love Oklahoma” Trump said.

Trump’s combination of Christmas cheer, vague threats and self-praise attracted a lot of social media snark.

Others pointed out that Trump kept the same energy with other callers as well.

Awkward calls between Trump and average citizens seem to be a part of the NORAD Tracks Santa tradition.

Back in 2017, Trump asked a 7-year-old girl, “Are you still a believer in Santa? Because at 7, it’s marginal, right?”
