This Picture of Donald Trump and His Grandchild Is Weirdly Disturbing
Donald Trump’s latest picture with his grandson is being called creepy on some parts of the Internet. Tiffany Trump shared an image of her father holding her child. Palm Beach’s Bo Loudon would go on to talk about the picture of Trump cradling the baby.
You know the drill from there. Twitter got a hold of it and started sharing opinions, because that’s what the site is for. But, even in this twilight of the platform, there is still the possibility of a funny post here and there.
Loudon’s Post drew the attention of the Art But Make It Now account. (These types of posts We’re the lifeblood of Twitter at its highest points. Sad to see most of that innovation go to the wayside.) The Twitter account In question immediately saw the photo as a version of Saturn Devouring His Son, by Peter Paul Rubens from 1936. Looking at the two images side by side, the resemblance is very funny in a wildly Internet centric kind of way. Most images of babies have them looking like they don’t know where they are and would rather be anywhere else.
Another day brings another bizarre Donald Trump family photo. It must be Friday, or really any day with a “-y.” (As an aside, If you’ve ever wondered how these art but make it ____ accounts function, Pablo Torre Finds Out had an amazing interview with the admin from the sports variant. It’s beyond impressive.)
Donald Trump’s Grandson picture likened to famous art piece
All of this fun on the Internet with memes obscures the current Donald Trump scandal of this news cycle. Namely, that the president didn’t know whether or not he had ACT scan or an MRI late in 2025. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told ABC News that Trump’s “ Physicians in the White House have always maintained the president received advanced imaging.” All that would be dandy, if it was even slightly true.
Back when this whole discussion flared up in October, Trump would give us an entirely different statement about the “advanced imaging” from Walter Reed. “I got an MRI. It was perfect,” the president previously claimed. “I mean, I gave you the full results. We had an MRI and the machine, you know, the whole thing, and it was perfect.”
President Donald Trump’s health and changing narratives
So, somewhere along the chain, there’s an untruth afoot. Could these imaging tests have been no big deal? Of course, anything is possible in an infinite universe. But, for those of us after the truth from an elected official, things are more than murky. The political press spent a lot of 2024 questioning President Joseph Biden’s mental acuity. We all remember the response to that disastrous debate in prime time where he looked old, slow, and completely outmatched up there in the spotlight.
No one is questioning that. However, more and more people online are starting to wonder where the same sort of blistering scrutiny is for a president who is undergoing multiple different medical treatments. Some political commentators even had the gall to position this elderly candidate as a “youthful” contrast to Biden after that debate. It’s now been multiple months, and the questions around Donald Trump’s health will not really subside. Let’s hope that everyone in charge can get their story straight before something truly traumatic does indeed happen.
