President Trump Participates in 2025 NORAD Santa Calls Promoting Clean Coal and High-IQ Values
President Donald Trump participated in the annual Christmas Eve tradition of taking phone calls from children as they tracked the global progress of Santa Claus. Speaking from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Wednesday evening, the president joined First Lady Melania Trump in answering questions through the North American Aerospace Defense Command hotline. During the event, the president mixed festive holiday cheer with some of his signature slogans and political themes. He spoke to several youngsters about their holiday wishes and provided frequent updates on the current location of Saint Nick. The president appeared to be in a jovial mood as he engaged with families from across the United States during the twenty-minute session.
In one notable exchange, President Trump joked with a child about the importance of tracking movements across the border during the holiday season. He told a young caller from Oklahoma that the United States military was closely monitoring the flight path to ensure the country remained secure. The president remarked that the military was working to verify that Santa was a good person and was not a bad Santa attempting to infiltrate the country. These lighthearted comments mirrored his broader political focus on border security and national defense while entertaining the curious young callers. He assured the children that the military surveillance confirmed Santa was indeed a good person who loves children.
The president also used a conversation with an eight-year-old girl from Kansas to defend the domestic energy industry. When the child told the president she did not want to find coal in her stocking, Trump responded by praising the natural resource. He asked her if she meant clean and beautiful coal and described the fuel as a vital asset for the nation. The president laughed as he told the child to remember that coal is clean and beautiful at all costs. He later admitted he had to make the comment because of his long-standing support for the American mining sector. The girl eventually clarified that she would prefer to receive a Barbie doll and candy instead of the energy resource.
The call session took a turn toward academic achievement when a ten-year-old boy requested a Kindle reader for Christmas. President Trump praised the child for wanting a book reader and labeled him a high-IQ person. He added that the country needs more people with high intelligence to lead it into a successful future. The president also discussed music history after a different child asked for a pinball machine. He referenced the famous song Pinball Wizard and correctly noted that Elton John had covered the original version recorded by The Who. He even promised to send a copy of the song to the family after learning of the boy’s interest in the game.
First Lady Melania Trump also fielded dozens of calls throughout the evening and provided children with specific coordinates for Santa’s sleigh. She told several families that Santa was traveling across Europe and would arrive at their homes once they were fast asleep. The couple appeared in high spirits during the session before the president turned his attention to military service members stationed abroad. Following the calls, the president shared a holiday message on social media that addressed both his supporters and his political rivals. This annual event remains a centerpiece of the presidential holiday schedule at the Florida resort.
