After former President Donald Trump was convicted on the 34 charges related to falsifying business records brought against him by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, the wife of younger son Eric Trump, posted a heartwarming video of the smiling former president greeting two of his grandkids. In the short, sweet clip, the two young children ran to give him a hug as he sits down on a chair at their level as Eric watches and smiles.
Lara Trump, the co-chair of the Republican National Committee, where she helps Trump’s political aspirations, has two children with Eric Trump, whom she married at Mar-a-Lago in 2014. The couple’s first child, Eric “Luke” Trump. was born in September of 2017. Then, in August of 2019, their second child, Carolina Dorothy Trump, was born.
The video appears to show those two grandkids, Luke and Carolina, running toward their tired but smiling grandpa and giving him a much-needed emotional boost after the lengthy and draining trial, along with the whole unfairness and obvious, to many on the right, bias of the judge, prosecutor, and jury in the Manhattan trial.
Lara, captioning the heartwarming and powerful video, wrote, “This is why he does it. ♥️♥️” In the sweet clip, his grandkids not only hug him, but Carolina hands him a picture that she appears to have drawn. He smiles and hugs her while appearing to talk with both of them. Based on the background, it appears that the video was taken in Trump Tower in New York City.

While Trump was sweet in the video, he skewered the judge and charges after the verdict, saying, “THIS WAS A DISGRACE—A RIGGED TRIAL BY A CONFLICTED JUDGE WHO IS CORRUPT. WE WILL FIGHT FOR OUR CONSTITUTION—THIS IS LONG FROM OVER!”
He sounded off again on Truth Social the next morning, writing, “My bookkeeper called a “Legal Expense,” on the “tiny” description line of the Ledger, a “Legal Expense,” openly paid to my lawyer, at that time a fully accredited one. I was not involved in that designation, but what else would you have called it? It was, in fact, a LEGAL EXPENSE. That is the so-called “CRIME.” On top of that, I wasn’t allowed by the judge to use, in any form, the standard RELIANCE ON COUNSEL DEFENSE (ADVICE OF COUNSEL!). My lawyer, at the time, did virtually everything on the NDA (NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT), and I assumed that what he did was correct. I did nothing wrong, and frankly, there was nothing done wrong – NDA’s are standard, commonly used, and LEGAL. MAGA2024! WITCH HUNT! IF THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ME, IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE!”
Then, in a post on the evening of May 31, he said, “After sitting for five weeks through that Rigged Trial in Lower Manhattan, which was surrounded by vast but unnecessary numbers of New York’s Finest in order to keep law abiding MAGA patriots away, and as I watched insignificant numbers of fully funded Radical Left troublemakers, with brand new and gleaming professionally made signs, screaming and cursing from areas said to be closed to us, and all others, I realized that Reason, Truth, and Love of our Country is no longer a force of Good and Change. These are Dark Days in America!”
