Ivanka Trump shares heartwarming moment as son Theo, 8, performs his debut song for grandpa Donald

WASHINTON, DC: Ivanka Trump showed the world just how proud she is as a mother this week with a touching tribute to her youngest son Theodore and his musical talent.
On Tuesday, the 43-year-old took to X to share a heartwarming video of eight-year-old Theo seated at a grand piano, performing his first original composition, written entirely by him, for none other than his maternal grandfather, President Donald Trump.

Ivanka Trump's son Theo plays original composition for grandpa Donald Trump
"Theo debuting his first original composition for Grandpa last night at The White House," Ivanka captioned the clip.
In the video, Theo, dressed in a charming off-white suit, played with poise and confidence as Donald Trump looked on, visibly moved by his grandson’s musical ability.
The performance took place on none other than a historic Steinway grand piano, one that carries a deep legacy of American culture and tradition, the Daily Mail reported.

The White House Historical Association noted that the Steinway was gifted to former president Franklin D Roosevelt in 1938 by Theodore Steinway himself.
Decorated with gold leaf artwork symbolizing five uniquely American musical forms, including a New England barn dance, a cowboy with his guitar, and an Indian ceremonial dance, it’s a piece of history in its own right.
With its three carved mahogany eagle legs and legacy of being played by the US Marine Band, it was the perfect stage for Theo’s musical milestone.
