Shortly after his inauguration, Donald Trump sat down to sign his first executive orders. His grandson, Tristan Trump, did not find this very interesting.

Think about it: you are a small child, there are cameras in front of you and what your grandfather is doing seems deeply boring. Your father, Donald Trump Jr., has not allowed you to bring your Nintendo DS. What do you do?

You make some faces.
