During the annual NORAD Santa Tracker calls from Mar-a-Lago, President Trump's praise for First Lady Melania Trump was abruptly cut short by her on live television. Trump turned to his wife, calling her "the greatest First Lady" and noting her elegance, but Melania quickly redirected the conversation to the children calling in. The moment, described as candid and off-script, gained viral attention. Trump also made other remarks during the calls, including comments about a child's Christmas wish and Santa's appearance.
