"Are you still a believer in Santa?" Trump asked an unsuspecting 7-year-old, Collman Lloyd, when she called in to the military's Santa Claus tracker line on Christmas Eve.
"Yes, sir," replied the child, though she didn't know what "marginal" meant.
I can imagine the confusion of the young South Carolinian, who had put out sugar cookies and chocolate milk for Santa. (Mom! Dad! President Trump says I’m margarine!)
But I can’t imagine what was going through the president’s head. He has entertained notions that Sen. Ted Cruz’s father was involved in the JFK assassination, that President Obama’s birth certificate was fake, and that Vince Foster and Antonin Scalia may have been murdered — but he doesn’t believe an elderly man with a long beard lives at the North Pole with his wife and hundreds of elves?
