Donald Trump’s inauguration proved incredibly divisive yesterday, but there is one thing that we can all agree on: Barron Trump is one very sweet uncle.
The 10-year-old has emerged as the viral star of yesterday’s swearing-in, after footage of him playing peek-a-boo with his nephew was captured on camera.
The adorable moment was recorded in the Capitol, as Trump was signing his first orders as President.

Daughter Ivanka was standing behind her father, holding her youngest child, nine-month-old son Theodore.
Doting uncle Barron couldn’t resist having a little fun with the tot, engaging him in a game of peek-a-boo before giving him a high-five.
The sweet moment quickly went viral and has melted hearts across social media.
“Rip apart The Donald all you like, but leave his kid alone. Barron Trump is a sweet little boy,” wrote one tweeter.
Another chimed in: “Whatever your feelings are about Donald Trump, his son Barron made my day.”
Barron is also uncle to Ivanka’s older children: five-year-old Arabella, and three-year-old Joseph.
