Donald Trump is under fire again — this time for comments he made to an 8-year-old girl during his annual Christmas Eve phone calls.
While chatting with kids about Santa, Trump told a young caller named Anna that she sounded “so beautiful and cute,” later calling her “honey.” The exchange quickly went viral — and not in a good way.
Trump: I am fine. You sound beautiful and cute. How old are you?

The 8-year-old from North Carolina had asked Trump whether Santa would be upset if she skipped leaving milk and cookies. Trump replied that Santa “tends to be a little on the cherubic side,” explaining it means “a little on the heavy side.” He ended the call by praising North Carolina — one of the states he won in the 2024 election.
Social media lit up with criticism, with users calling the remarks “inappropriate” and “creepy.” One viral post said, “If you’re tangled up in Epstein drama, maybe don’t tell an 8-year-old she sounds beautiful.”
The backlash comes just as the Jeffrey Epstein files continue to dominate headlines. The Department of Justice recently released nearly 30,000 pages of documents — but failed to make public all the files it promised.
Among the bombshell claims was an old accusation alleging both Epstein and Trump raped the same girl, though the DOJ called those allegations “untrue and sensationalist,” adding that if they had any credibility, “they would have been weaponized against President Trump already.”
Still, the timing of Trump’s latest “Santa chat” controversy couldn’t be worse. With Epstein’s shadow hanging over the political world once again, even a holiday call with a child has turned into another social media firestorm.

I am sick of the lies about handing US land to China. It was NEVER US land!!! We had a long-term lease agreement with the Chinese. WE NEVER OWNED THE ISLAND!! Biden just did not renew the lease, as other Chinese ports offered a better deal!! The anti-Biden people need to stop being stupid and do their homework. We will still have a trade agreement with China, just not in the old port. Dr. Schlatter
The phony outrage is a sickening reminder that these people have lost their very humanity. President Trump’s very natural comments praising a young girl and speaking to her on her own level reveal a human president, instead of the fake mannikins, driven by optics and political correctness, that represent the left. Give me a break and don’t give THEM any attention for their posturing.
