A viral video circulating online appears to capture a moment at a recent Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) match where Donald Trump, the former president, seemingly overlooks his grandson.
The footage, shared on X, shows Mr. Trump engaging with various individuals at the event, including greeting his daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner. The couple was reportedly accompanied by their 10-year-old son, Joseph.
However, as Mr. Trump proceeds to interact with others in the crowd, he appears to pass by his grandson without acknowledgment. Ivanka is seen reaching towards her son, seemingly in response to the situation.
The video has sparked online scrutiny, with some commentators interpreting Mr. Trump's actions as dismissive. Ron Filipkowski, editor-in-chief of MeidasTouch, commented on X, suggesting that Mr. Trump's behavior revealed his true character. However, Steven Cheung, Mr. Trump's campaign communications director, dismissed such interpretations as baseless and reflective of "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
Mr. Trump and his family attended the UFC 299 match in Miami over the weekend, following the former president's rally in Rome, Georgia. In his remarks, Mr. Trump praised the UFC as a reflection of the election process, commending Dana White, the organization's president, for his leadership.
The incident has stirred debate online, prompting various reactions and interpretations. As the video continues to circulate, it underscores the enduring interest in the actions and behavior of public figures like Donald Trump, even in seemingly mundane situations.
