President Donald Trump’s Christmas wishes include a peaceful America, he said while taking phone calls from children tracking the global travels of Santa’s sleigh -- although the president’s social-media activities suggested otherwise.
“I think we want peace. What do you think? Peace for the country,” Trump told a young boy. “We’ve got prosperity. Now we want peace,” the president said taking children’s calls from the gilded and tiled living room of Mar-a-Lago, his Palm Beach, Florida, club and home.
