One of Trump’s most unexpectedly funny viral moments happened during a Christmas Eve phone call with a seven-year-old girl named Collman Lloyd.
As part of the annual NORAD Santa Tracker tradition, children called in to check on Santa’s whereabouts, and some calls were connected to the White House.
The conversation started normally enough, with Trump asking Collman about her Christmas plans.
Then came the moment that caught everyone off guard.
After learning she was seven years old, he asked, “Are you still a believer in Santa?” When she replied yes, Trump added, “'Cause at seven, it’s marginal, right?”
The brief exchange immediately took on a life of its own online.
While Collman later said she still believed in Santa and happily left out cookies and milk that night, the internet couldn't stop talking about the oddly direct question.
Many viewers found the moment hilarious.
One person joked, “I still think he's talking to himself and nobody's on that phone.” Another simply summed it up: “So funny at so many levels.”
