Donald Trump: A Contested President, But Loved Grandfather- No Doubts There

Donald Trump has been a divisive president and controversial nominee over the past 12 years, but the 78-year-old seems to be a loving grandfather through and through—and there's no doubt. Saturday was another example of how cherished Trump is at home. The Republican presidential candidate brought his grandchildren, Luke and Carolina, onto the stage while speaking at a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina. The two are the children of Eric and Lara Trump.Trump, visibly, was not using his grandchildren as campaign props. He picked Luke up to the mic, and the seven-year-old immediately asked rallygoers to "vote for grandpa." He got a kiss on the cheek for a heartwarming endorsement, as the former president thanked his little "sweetheart."
