PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Lara Trump once again highlighted a softer, family-focused side of President Donald Trump with a social media post that quickly gained traction online.

The newly shared image shows Trump walking hand in hand with two of his grandchildren as they headed into a College Football Playoff game, offering followers a rare glimpse into a quiet family moment away from the political spotlight.



A candid family moment before the CFP game

The photo, shared by Lara Trump on X, captured President Trump holding the hands of six-year-old Carolina Dorothy Trump and nine-year-old grandson Eric Luke Trump as the trio walked down a hallway ahead of the CFP game.

Lara kept the caption simple, writing, “Walking into the game like,” followed by a football emoji. The understated post resonated widely, with users praising the candid nature of the moment and pointing out the children’s coordinated outfits.

Many commenters focused on Trump’s role as a grandfather rather than his political identity, describing the image as warm, relatable, and refreshingly ordinary.  

The CFP photo followed closely on the heels of another viral post from Lara Trump that also featured the president spending time with one of his grandchildren.

In that earlier moment, Trump was photographed driving a golf cart with his granddaughter Carolina riding beside him. The images, shared on Instagram, showed Carolina beaming as Trump took the wheel.

Lara captioned the post simply, “Golfing with Grandpa,” a phrase that quickly circulated across platforms as users praised the lighthearted interaction.

Social media reacts to Trump’s grandfather role

Online reactions to the CFP photo echoed the enthusiasm seen in response to the earlier golf cart images. Many users remarked on the contrast between Trump’s public persona and the private family moment.



“He’s President Trump to us but he’s just grandpa to them,” one user wrote, while another commented, “Beautiful memories for them.”



Others reacted with similar warmth, calling the image “wholesome” and applauding Lara Trump for sharing personal family snapshots.



Trump’s softer side on the campaign trail

This was not the first time Trump’s interactions with his grandchildren captured public attention. During a 2024 campaign stop in North Carolina, Trump brought his granddaughter Carolina onto the stage while addressing supporters.



Introducing her with playful seriousness, Trump joked that she was more important than anyone else on stage and teased that she was still too young to understand “how evil life is,” prompting laughter from the crowd.

When Carolina attempted to repeat Trump’s well-known slogan at the microphone, she stumbled adorably, drawing cheers. The moment became even more memorable when her older brother Luke joined them shortly after.

Trump encouraged Luke to say “MAGA,” but the young boy instead proudly declared, “Vote for grandpa,” prompting Trump to burst out laughing and tell the audience the unscripted moment was better than anything he could have planned.



Together, these moments have continued to shape a public image of Trump that blends politics with personal family life, resonating strongly with supporters and casual observers alike.
