Even while cradling his newborn grandson, President Donald Trump found himself in the spotlight for unexpected reasons.
In an attempt to showcase a softer image, the 79-year-old leader was photographed with his daughter Tiffany Trump’s infant son, Alexander Trump Boulos. However, this moment quickly drew attention to the visible signs of aging on Trump’s face, contrasting sharply with his more familiar persona known for rallying crowds rather than engaging in tender moments.
Family Dynamics and Online Reactions
New photos surfaced showing Trump seated while holding his six-month-old grandson, leading to mixed reactions from the public. One image depicted Trump in a white polo shirt, a red hat stating “Trump Was Right About Everything,” and black pants, with Tiffany standing beside him dressed in all black for a family portrait.
While initially perceived as a wholesome family moment, the image sparked a wave of commentary on social media platforms, particularly Threads. Users began to share their interpretations of the scene.
As the image circulated, viewers began to comment on the apparent discomfort of the moment. One user remarked, “Poor kid. He can tell his grandfather doesn’t like children,” while another noted Tiffany’s apparent concern that Trump might drop the baby. The conversation then shifted to humorously comparing Trump to the infant, with one commenter joking, “And no, the dirty diaper smell isn’t from the little one,” followed by another quip about Trump’s own odor.
This dialogue regarding diapers is not new; rumors about Trump’s alleged incontinence have circulated for years, often resurfacing with unflattering images or awkward moments.

Family Tensions and Speculation
In addition to the reactions about the photos, speculation arose about Tiffany Trump’s absence from Thanksgiving celebrations at the White House. While her father and Melania Trump were expected to host family members in Palm Beach, Tiffany chose to spend the holiday with her mother, Marla Maples. Maples shared joyful images of their family gathering, expressing gratitude for their first Thanksgiving with baby Alexander.
Trump’s comments about Tiffany during the US-Saudi Investment Forum further fueled speculation regarding their relationship. He praised her academic achievements at Georgetown University but suggested that her graduation had been canceled for reasons beyond the pandemic, leaving many puzzled.
In May, Tiffany also became a topic of discussion when Melania did not attend her baby shower in Miami, citing obligations related to Barron Trump, despite being nearby. Nevertheless, the gathering was marked by smiles, with Marla Maples thanking Ivanka Trump for hosting a memorable day and other family members celebrating Tiffany’s impending motherhood.
Ultimately, the family moment that Trump likely intended to portray as heartwarming turned into another instance of how quickly public perception can shift in the digital age.
