The US President and his wife were sitting in the State Dining Room at the White House, engaging in small talk with children, a White House pool report said.
The attention of netizens was attracted to a conversation between Donald Trump and a 7-year-old boy named Coleman.

"Hello, is this Coleman," US President said. "Merry Christmas. How are you? How old are you?… Are you doing well in school? Are you still a believer in Santa?" Then there was a small pause in the conversation as Coleman's words cannot be heard. And then Trump replied: "Because at seven it's marginal, right?" At the end of the conversation, Trump said with a smile on his face: "You just enjoy yourself."
Twitter users expressed their dissatisfaction with Trump's actions.
