Donald Trump And Granddaughter Carolina Resurfaced Clip Goes Viral

A resurfaced clip of the POTUS and his granddaughter Carolina Dorothy Trump, now six years old, is gaining traction online due to how "terrified" she appears in the video. Check it out here.

The clip appears to be from the Republican National Convention in 2024, where Carolina – then four – was seen sitting on her grandfather's lap while watching her father deliver a speech.

In the footage, little Carolina is dressed in a cute and chic pale blue and white outfit while sitting on her grandfather's lap. The camera cuts to Trump looking at her and smiling, but when she looks back at him, she appears visibly confused, with some social media users convinced she actually looks petrified of him!
