Barron Trump came face to face with Joe Biden just moments after his father took the oath as the 47th president of the United States.

With his right hand elevated, Trump swore in while his wife, Melania, stood by holding two weighty tomes: one a gift from his mother and the other, the revered Lincoln Bible that historical figures like Abraham Lincoln utilised back in 1861.
Before the ceremony unfolded, Trumps family procession made their way into the Capitol Rotunda, finding their seats in anticipation of the impending inauguration. The gathering featured his sons Eric Trump and Jr, as well as his daughter Ivanka Trump.
But it was who caught the attention of viewers who praised him for his politeness. He was seen extending a courteous handshake to then-outgoing President and former Vice-President following his father’s swearing-in.
Lip reader Jeremy Freeman revealed that the 18-year-old cordially greeted Mr Biden with “G’day to you sir”, before turning to and saying, “Ma’am, good day”.
