Topic: Trump told a 7-year-old NORAD caller that believing in Santa at his age was "marginal"

wtf lol

At one point, the president told a seven year old that believing in Santa at that age is "marginal." He asked the boy, named Coleman, if he's still a believer in Santa. After listening, Mr. Trump said, "Because at 7, it's marginal, right?" He listened again and chuckled before saying, "Well, you just enjoy yourself."

Honestly it's kinda weird to still believe in Santa at that age ?

I would say 5 is the maximum acceptable Santa believing age. Either the kid is autistic or the parents are fucked up.

Uhh, there’s different ages when kids stop believing in Santa. Some parents try to force that at even younger ages than 7 or 5. Stop ruining it for the kids, Mets.

I see Santa more as like a test for reasoning and critical thinking and if the kid isn't able to start seeing all the holes in the Santa religion (and it is a mini-religion for kids) by age 7, they're not developing properly. A 7 year old should be able to think "there's millions of houses and only one night to deliver all the presents and what about people without chimneys and why does Santa give rich kids more presents than poor kids and how does a sleigh work without snow (in the south/southwest) and and..."

Wanna take a bet on whether Barron still believes in Santa? I bet he does.

If Barron's father thinks belief in Santa at age 7 is "marginal" (and he's 100% right) there's no chance. Trump raises his kids right.

Maybe it's marginal at age seven. I wonder about all the home schooled kids though. I wonder about the group of families that self selects by calling a phone number like that.

That's what? Like a second grader? Does he think the kid understands the use of the word "marginal" in that sentence in relation to social and intellectual development compared with a general population? Does Trump think the child called NORAD in the hopes of giving a self-assessment of their understanding of Christmas related myth to a bunch of adults in a room who are pretending to be tracking Santa? Why the fuck else would a kid be calling?

Santa only gives one gift, the rest are from friends and family.
