Former President Donald Trump spent part of the morning after his hush money trial conviction playing with his grandchildren at Trump Tower. Daughter-in-law Lara Trump shared a heartwarming video on her Instagram Story, capturing moments of affection between Trump and his grandchildren, Carolina and Eric Jr.
Despite the familial scenes, sources revealed to Page Six that the mood among Trump’s closest allies was notably somber. While Lara and Eric Trump were later seen leaving Trump Tower with their children and a nanny, the overall atmosphere in Trumpworld remained dampened by the guilty verdict announced the previous evening.
“It’s like a funeral at [Mar-a-Lago],” remarked one insider, expressing the collective sense of disappointment. Former first lady Melania Trump and their son Barron had joined Trump in New York City on Thursday, meeting him in the evening following the jury announcement.
Melania, though absent at the courthouse, was seen entering Trump Tower later that evening. According to sources, Trump was surrounded by his family at Trump Tower, with Ivanka notably absent. The aftermath of the ruling left everyone upset, as Trump spoke to all his children following the outcome of the case.
