President Trump has a way with kids and jokes, and he utilized both gifts on stage in an impromptu moment when a toddler went rogue.
The funny moment went down as a Las Vegas family was championing Trump accounts while their two young children were in tow.
A toddler saw his chance for escape and began to wander off as his mother began addressing the crowd.
Thankfully, Grandpa Trump was on it.
“I didn’t want him to be Biden and fall off the stage,” the president told the amused crowd.
Trump, at 80 years old, springs into action to save a toddler from running off stage.

Later, the boy was prompted by his mother to thank the president for his Trump account, which he did.
“Good job,” Trump responded while the crowd cheered.
