Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump, responded to a shout-out from his father during the inauguration ceremony.

The brief interaction, which caught the attention of viewers, saw Barron acknowledging his father’s mention with a subtle gesture. The moment, though brief, sparked reactions on social media as observers noted the family's public dynamic during the event.

The president also gave a shoutout to his 17-year-old granddaughter, Kai Trump, who delivered a memorable speech at the Republican National Convention, offering a more personal and relatable side of the 47th President.

Donald Trump vowed to usher in a new era of American greatness, minutes after he was sworn in as president for the second time to complete an extraordinary political comeback following two assassination attempts, a felony conviction and an indictment for attempting to overturn his 2020 election loss.

"The golden age of America begins right now," he said.

Trump took the oath of office to "preserve, protect and defend" the US Constitution inside the US Capitol, administered by Chief Justice John Roberts. His vice president, JD Vance, was sworn in just before him.

Trump intends to sign a raft of executive actions in his first hours as president, incoming White House officials said on Monday, including 10 focused on border security and immigration, his top priority.
