A viral video of former Republican President Donald Trump attending a UFC event over the weekend showed what appeared to be him ignoring his grandson Joseph in favor of greeting adoring fans.
Trump's daughter, Ivanka was at Saturday's UFC 299 event in Miami with her husband Jared Kushner, and their son Joseph.
Several clips shared online showed Trump pumping his fist in the air over the standing ovation he received after arriving at the venue.
As he shuffled through the MAGA crowd and shook hands, he gave his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared hugs by the ring.
Trump didn't spend much time with them as there were more fawning admirers to greet before the smackdown, which is probably why he didn't bother to acknowledge his 10-year-old grandson when Ivanka and Jared tried to present him to Gramps.
The snub was made evident by Ivanka visibly appearing let down and turning to console little Joseph.
In another closeup video of the family interaction, Meidas Touch editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski wrote on X (formerly Twitter):
"Now I see what Ivanka was so pissed."
"Trump blew off his own grandson while he was mugging with B List celebrities and the kid was pretty bummed out."
"This is who he really is behind the fake show."
Later snapshots from the event showed Ivanka looking slightly glum standing next to Daddy Trump.
The expression looked familiar.
We can't speak for Joseph, but he sure doesn't look thrilled at either being at the event or getting totally ignored by Grandpa, who would much rather continue getting worshipped by his fans.
Trump's actions were very telling.
Maybe acknowledgment is conditional in the Trump family.
Social media users questioned his loyalty to his family.
@RonFilipkowski Remember all those photographs of Trump passing the football around with Barron on the White House lawn? Yeah, me neither.— (@)
TMZ gave the ex-president, who was indicted four times for criminal charges, the benefit of the doubt when it came to being a loving granddad.
The outlet noted that Trump was seen lovingly interacting with his grandchildren, especially Joseph, with whom he had been photographed on several occasions holding his hand while walking across the White House lawn.
With five children from three wives, Trump has a total of ten grandchildren...so far.
At the moment, the GOP presumptive nominee may be more concerned with counting votes rather than family members.
