Here’s What The Parents Of The 7-Year-Old Girl Who Spoke To Trump About Santa Have To Say
Collman Lloyd’s parents told BuzzFeed News they were not bothered by President Trump’s choice of words, which some wondered may have ruined Santa for the little girl.
The parents of Collman Lloyd — the 7-year-old girl from Lexington, South Carolina, whose phone call with President Trump on Christmas Eve went viral after he asked her if she still believes in Santa Claus and then said, “At 7 it’s marginal, right?” — said they have no issue with how Trump spoke to their daughter.
In fact, dad Donald J. Lloyd, 40 (who, as it happens, shares a first name and middle initial with the president), told BuzzFeed News he would have used similar language with his daughter, and that he thinks the remark is being blown out of proportion and unfairly politicized.
“I think it’s crazy it became a big deal. It’s Christmastime. I’d love to keep politics out of Christmas,” said Donald. “It didn’t bother me — I like to talk to my kids like adults.”
Collman’s mom, Erica, 40, agreed. She added that she found Trump to be extremely generous.
I just knew when I heard him say this that the lying LSM would go ballistic about it and turn it into something political.
They are sooooo LAME!
I’m thankful she has such good and smart parents.
I thought about how much fun and what a special memory it would be for a child to call into NORAD to track Santa and be able to speak to the President of the US or the 1st Lady, Melania, MAGICAL!
