00:00Barron Trump returned to the inaugural stage on January 20th to watch his father, Donald
00:05Trump, be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States.
00:10The 18-year-old, who is 6'8", towered over his mother, Melania Trump, and his four siblings,
00:15Donald Jr., Ivanka, Eric, and Tiffany Trump, as he stood next to them at the United States
00:20Capitol Rotunda, while his dad was sworn in as president for the second time.
00:25The last time Barron was at an inauguration, he was only 10 years old.
00:30On Monday, Barron and his family were all smiles as President Trump said the oath and
00:34shook his dad's hand after the swearing-in was complete.
00:38He then walked over to shake the hands of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala
00:41Harris.
00:42Barron's appearance at the inauguration was a rare one, as he usually stays out of the
00:47spotlight, but he did look dapper for the occasion, rocking a classic blue suit and
00:52tie with his slicked-back hair.
00:55He seemingly coordinated with his mom, First Lady Melania Trump, who wore a navy blue double-breasted
01:00coat, white shirt, and matching blue and white hat for the occasion, but it appears her hat
01:05might be responsible for an awkward moment between her and her husband.
01:09After President Trump entered the rotunda, he leaned in to give his wife a kiss on the
01:13cheek, but her hat got in the way.
01:16That wasn't the only hiccup.
01:18There was an awkward silence before Carrie Underwood sang America the Beautiful because
01:22her music wouldn't play.
01:24The American Idol winner ended up performing the song a cappella.
01:48Leading up to the inauguration, Melania revealed during an interview with Fox News that while
01:52her husband is in office, she will be splitting her time between Washington, D.C., Florida,
01:56and New York.
01:57I will be in the White House, and when I need to be in New York, I will be in New York.
02:02When I need to be in Palm Beach, I will be in Palm Beach.
02:04But my first priority is to be a mom, to be a First Lady, to be a wife.
02:13And once we are in on January 20, you serve the country.
02:19She also commented for the first time on if Barron will join them at the White House.
02:24I think he will come and visit, yes.
02:26Will he bring his friends?
02:27Is it fun?
02:28Does he feel comfortable to bring friends?
02:29Yeah, whatever he would like to do, yes.
02:32I feel that as children, we have them until they are like 18, 19 years old.
02:41We teach them, we guide them, and then we give them the wings to fly.
02:47And I always respect Barron's yes and no, and what he likes to do, where he would like
02:51to.
