Trump's grandchildren charm NC rally crowd to 'vote for grandpa' while using his iconic catchphrase

WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA: GOP nominee Donald Trump shared a heartwarming moment with his grandchildren on stage at a campaign rally in the battleground state of North Carolina on Saturday, September 21, reported Fox News.

The 78-year-old former president brought his grandchildren, Carolina, 5, and Luke, 7, to his Wilmington rally, where they spoke to the audience and effectively stole the spotlight. The two kids are the children of Eric and Lara Trump.

What did Donald Trump's grandchildren say at the rally?

Donald Trump first introduced Carolina on stage in her namesake state, saying, "We also have…a very important member of my family. Far more important than Eric or Lara. And her name is Carolina. And she's beautiful and she's sweet and she doesn't know how evil life is."

"Can I ask Carolina to come up? Is that possible?" he asked, and soon, her granddaughter was seen in his arms at the podium, saying into the microphone, "Make American great again."

The adorable kid mistakenly referred to 'America' in 'MAGA' as 'American,' but the crowd responded with enthusiastic cheers. Trump maintained the momentum by inviting his grandson on stage next.

"Would anybody like to meet Luke? Her brother? Luke, come on up," said Trump before picking the kid up and bringing him over to the microphone.

"Vote for grandpa," said the kid, to erupting cheers. The GOP nominee later quipped, "I whispered into his ear, so cute, I said, ‘Say MAGA.' He said, ‘Vote for grandpa.’ He didn't care what I said and that was actually much better."
