The seven-year-old girl whose phone call with President Donald Trump on Christmas Eve went viral has said she still believes in Santa Claus.
Mr Trump threw doubt on the existence of Santa when he asked Collman Lloyd if she still believed in Father Christmas.
After learning the girl's age, the president asked: "At seven, it's marginal, right?"
"Yes, sir," the girl replied. She later admitted she did not know the word's meaning, the Post and Courier reports.
Collman, from Lexington in South Carolina, also told the newspaper that she was glad to be able to talk with the US president.
"I was like, 'wow'. I was shocked.
"It wasn't really (nerve-wracking), I just had to think of what the truth was."
She added that after speaking to Mr Trump, she and her family left iced sugar biscuits and chocolate milk out for Santa Claus.
Those offerings were gone in the morning, and under a Christmas tree, there was a wrapped present with Collman's name on it.
So, what about the Santa phone call?
The scene was the grand State Dining Room in the White House.
Donald Trump and his wife Melania were taking calls from American children as the couple sat under two gargantuan Christmas trees.
All the children who called in had done so in the hope of getting through to Norad, the government agency that tracks Santa's movements around the world at Christmas (that still operated despite a partial government shutdown).
Some of those calls were patched through to Mr Trump and his wife.
And this is how the conversation between Collman and the president unfolded:
Trump: What you gonna do for Christmas?
Collman: I think we'll probably put out some cookies, and then we're hanging out with our friends. That's pretty much all.
Trump: You just

Long ago i was a waiter at an event test he was in attendance.
I was in the room.
That’s a good spin on it!
“I’ve been in a room with a Mr. Trump before. He’s not a people person. He really isn’t a good conversationalist.”
That is BS.
Trump is in fact a great schmoozer and conversationalist - and a great people person. He has a way of putting people at ease and he’s especially good with kids.
How can I possibly know that without ever having “been in a room” with him?
Well, they have these camera thingies - and you can actually see what’s happening without actually being there!
You have to love the British version of English!
We have four kids - 3 adults and a 3 year old. The older ones are enjoying believing in Santa again, even though it’s vicariously!
I never said he was an a-hole. He was actually courteous to staff and the such.
But he’s not a guy who says all the right things at all the right times. He’s a New Yorker.
“But he’s not a guy who says all the right things at all the right times.”
That much we can agree on. He’s not politically correct.
“As for me and grandpa, we believe”.
Lol. I’ve been wracking my head to remember where I heard this and it suddenly came to me.
Apparently, liberals do this to their children so that later they can keep believing in Global Warming and the evils of capitalism.
She’s not really allowed to be innocent, because she spoke to the President, so now she has to be on national news, and forever will be known as the 7-year-old who still believed in Santa.
The media couldn’t just leave this alone, although I understand that the parents also had a hand in using this for an attack on the President.
Meanwhile, I had to always tell my kids not to say things that would bring doubt on Santa, because “some of your friends still like to believe in fairy tales and it doesn’t hurt anybody”
Meanwhile, the liberals are admonishing parents not to give their kids expensive electronics gifts “from santa”, and instead to give crappy gifts like socks and slippers.
Because the kids go to school and say “Santa gave me a new Iphone”, and the other kids think Santa hates them because they didn’t get some cool expensive gift from Santa.
For not being a “people person” he sure has a lot of friends and has one heck of a Rolodex.
