President Trump discussed with kids Wednesday Santa Claus' Christmas Eve journey being followed through the North American Aerospace Defense Command's (NORAD) tracking program during calls that were peppered with joviality and banter.
The big picture: First lady Melania Trump also took part in the calls from their home in Palm Beach, Florida, which helped kick off the NORAD Santa-tracking tradition that's now in its 70th year. Less traditional were some of the president's comments to the children during the calls.
