Althouse on marginal “I could see that the people who are always looking to attack Trump were jumping on what was at most a tiny glitch is a nice Christmas thing he was doing, and I think those people are so tedious. I have expressed sympathy for them, because they are missing so much humor, humor that I am really enjoying. But then I had to admit to myself that part of why it's funny to me is that I know a whole lot of people will just be steamed and outraged. Thanks, Trump haters. Thanks for honing the edge of Trump's transgression. Your grim that's-not-funnyism is making it funnier.” https://althouse.blogspot.com/2018/12/are-you-still-believer-in-santa-because.html
Trump did video conference with some troops. One has to wonder if the first question he asked the troops was ... Are you still a believer in Santa? Because it's marginal, right?
I think it's a little unfair. He probably doesn't have the emotional intelligence of that 7 year old.
