Grandkids don’t lie.
Political enemies, including much of the media, regularly demonize Donald Trump and frequently claim he’s a ruthless dictator on the same scale as Adolf Hitler. There’s little emphasis, if any, on the fact that the former president has 10 grandchildren between 3 and 16 years old.
What’s more, he appears to have a good relationship with his grandchildren.
Daughter-in-law Lara Trump, married to son Eric Trump, shared a video online a few days ago that flew under the radar. In the clip, Trump is seen walking into what appears to be Mar-A-Lago, when one of his young granddaughters rushes out to greet him. The doting 77-year-old grandfather held his arms out and scooped the child up into his arms for a big hug.
“When Grandpa makes a surprise visit and you’re so excited to see him,” Lara tweeted.

The grandchild may have been Eric and Lara’s daughter Carolina. Lara shared another endearing video last month of Carolina giggling as she heard Grandpa mention her name during a rally that was airing on a TV in front of her.
“When Grandpa name drops you at a rally in the Carolinas,” she posted.
