Donald Trump has made a tradition of calling children across the nation on Christmas night to have a televised fun, quippy, quick exchange with kids about Santa. But the latest one was just far too odd and bizarre for anyone to chuckle.
Before the obligatory accusation by the MAGA faithful that criticizing the president for making jokes is another severe case of “TDS,” the issue here is not that he was inappropriate or anything like that. And truth be told, one of Trump’s few redeeming qualities for his critics is that the president has a few good jokes in him here and there.
