Former President Donald Trump created a heartwarming moment during his rally on Saturday, September 21, in North Carolina, a battleground state, bringing two of his grandchildren on stage as the audience roared with applause and the Trump family joked around. The rally took place in Wilmington, North Carolina.
The two grandchildren whom former President Trump brought on stage during the Wilmington rally were Luke and Carolina Trump, the two youngest children of Trump’s middle son, Eric, and his wife Lara Trump. Eric was the more business-focused son in the past, but has gotten more involved in this campaign.
In any case, the former president brought the two grandkids on stage and joked with them and the audience in heartwarming fashion as he did so. First, he introduced Carolina Trump to the crowd, saying, “We also have…a very important member of my family. Far more important than Eric or Lara. And her name is Carolina.”
Then, he commented on her sweet attitude, in blissful ignorance of the world’s evil, and suggested actually bringing her on stage, saying, “And she’s beautiful and she’s sweet and she doesn’t know how evil life is. Can I ask Carolina to come up? Is that possible?” A few moments later, Trump reappeared on the stage with her and Carolina said, “Make American great again.”
The crowd roared with applause for Carolina, cheering wildly. Then, Trump upped the ante and invited Luke Trump on stage with him. He said, “Would anybody like to meet Luke? Her brother? Luke, come on up.” Trump then picked up the young boy and brought him to the podium on stage as well.
After the former president brought him on stage, Luke, who is seven, told the excited crowd to “Vote for Grandpa.” In response, the young boy got wild cheers from the crowd. Trump then joked with the audience that he had asked Luke to say something else, but the boy just did what he wanted regardless.
Trump said, explaining what happened, that he had whispered for him to say is campaign slogan, but Luke just said the cuter phrase he wanted instead. He said, “I whispered into his ear, so cute, I said, ‘Say MAGA. ’ He said, ‘Vote for grandpa.’” Trump added, “He didn’t care what I said and that was actually much better.”

Trump, posting on his Truth Social platform the same day, said, “A long time ago, Oprah Winfrey asked me to do her last Network Television Show. The final week of her show was a big deal, and it was my honor, with my family, to do it. When I watched her interview yesterday with a woman who is destroying, through her complete and total incompetence, America, I couldn’t help but think this isn’t the real Oprah, this isn’t a person that wants millions of people, from prisons and mental institutions, and terrorists, drug dealers, and human traffickers, from all over the World, pouring into our Country.”
He continued, “Kamala looked really foolish, couldn’t answer the simplest of questions on Inflation, the Cost of Goods, or our very porous and dangerous Border – No leader there, and Oprah just wanted to crawl under a table! Comrade Kamala Harris is mentally unfit to be President. She knows it, and so does everyone else!”
