00:00Donald Trump's granddaughter, Kai Trump, has been using social media to tell the world
00:04about the goings-on in her family since election night. Turns out, all eyes were on Barron
00:09instead of the president-elect, and not for the reason you think. On November 11th, Kai,
00:14daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and his ex-wife Vanessa Trump, posted a video to YouTube titled
00:18Kai Trump Election Night Vlog.
00:20While most everyone could be seen having a pretty good time thanks to the results of
00:24the election, Kai's uncle Barron, who's the same age as her, seemed to be mostly minding
00:28his own business, while others gathered together and talked. Multiple shots of Barron showed
00:32him looking isolated and not as chummy with his family as the others seemed to be. It
00:36would be easy to expect them to flog to each other during family events. Yet, Barron didn't
00:40appear interested in being featured in Kai's vlog, and when they were near each other,
00:44they didn't seem to communicate.
00:45It's clear that of the family's two freshly-minted adults, Kai is the one who is more interested
00:50in stealing the spotlight. The video shows her choosing her outfit for the night, and
00:53she opts for a sequined dress over a plain black one, saying,
00:57I think I'm rocking with this one because I want to pop out."
01:00Of course, beyond wearing a sparkly dress, Kai also posted an election night vlog to
01:04YouTube in the first place, proving that she isn't interested in fading into the background.
01:08For Barron, though, it's clear that he's following in his mother, Melania Trump's, private footsteps.
01:13This, of course, makes sense, since she raised him to be this way. Throughout his life, Barron's
01:17public appearances have been scattered at best, even when his father was serving his
01:21first term as President of the United States. Though he's in college these days, it's not
01:25surprising that he has yet to come out of his shell and mingle beyond the bare minimum.
01:29The vlog also showed that, like Barron, Donald Trump didn't behave how one might have expected
01:33behind the scenes on the big night. He seemed to struggle not to scowl while posing for
01:37family photos, and as the family-watched election results pour in, he looked particularly low-energy
01:42and didn't appear either nervous or excited.
01:45Perhaps it's the result of campaign fatigue, or all of the lawsuits he's faced over the
01:48years, or surviving multiple assassination attempts. Even for someone as well-versed
01:53in chaos as Donald Trump, he must have a limit.
