Trump and Melania Continue Christmas Tradition at Mar-a-Lago

Participation in NORAD Santa Program

Former US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump maintained a cherished holiday tradition on Christmas Eve by participating in the NORAD Santa tracking program at their Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. The couple's engagement with children lasted over 20 minutes, with Trump using a loudspeaker to address families while Melania used a mobile phone to chat with excited youngsters.

Continuing a Long-Standing Tradition

This annual event, organized by NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command), has been a significant Christmas Eve activity for many years, allowing children to track Santa Claus's journey around the world. The Trumps' participation demonstrates their continued involvement in popular holiday activities even after leaving office.

Details of the Interaction

The Trumps were seated in gold-trimmed armchairs near their Christmas tree during the interaction. Trump used the loudspeaker to communicate with families, while Melania engaged in personal conversations with children through the phone. This dual approach allowed them to connect with multiple families simultaneously while maintaining personal touches in their interactions.
