'That was ice cold': Trump's grandson wants to shake his hand – and walks away empty-handed

Donald Trump immersed himself in the crowd and shook many hands during a UFC event over the weekend. But his grandson didn't get the chance, which is now creating a huge buzz on the Internet.

Donald Trump shook many hands on Saturday night. The presidential candidate was the guest star at the UFC 299 martial arts event in Miami.

But Trump is said to have disappointed one person: his 10-year-old grandson, Joseph. A video of Trump entering Kasya Arena is currently circulating on Twitter. The Republican smiles at the crowd, waves and shakes hands. For example, businessman and influencer Dave Portnoy hugs or briefly chats with right-wing populist TV personality Candace Owens.

He clearly has less time for his family. Trump's daughter Ivanka was also sitting in the audience with her husband, Jared Kushner, and their son, Joseph. There was a quick kiss for Ivanka and a hug for Jared. Then things get interesting: Little Joseph also wants to greet his grandfather, but Trump keeps shaking his hand.

After the short scene, Joseph looks at the ground in embarrassment. His mother appears to comfort him briefly, asking him to sit down while Trump continues his greetings.

The short clip sparked controversy on social media. Blogger and attorney Ron Filipkowski shared the video with his more than 800,000 followers and wrote: “Trump ignored his grandson while posing with B-list stars and boy was he so disappointed. This shows who he really is behind the facade.”

Filipkovsky's followers agree with him. “He could have simply taken his time quickly and that would have been an important PR moment,” one wrote. “But his actions show a selfish person who only cares about himself.” Another follower simply wrote: “Damn, this is cool.”

However, other social media users are defending Trump and saying there is too much going on at a UFC event like this and that he may simply not have seen Joseph.

Trump's press secretary condemns his critics

Stephen Cheung, Trump's press secretary, spoke out about the incident after Filipkowski's clip went viral. to “Page Six” “Imagine you're a sad internet troll living in the basement who suffers so much from Trump Confusion Syndrome that he has to invent a fictional story to give his life meaning,” the Republican says. sad.”

Trump's relationship with his family members is a recurring theme during his campaign. For example, his wife Melania Trump recently caused a stir when she did not attend her husband's presidential nomination celebration. His daughter, Ivanka, who worked as an advisor during his time in the White House, withdrew from politics completely after voting for his exit.
