President Donald Trump paused a busy Oval Office day to greet visiting children, handing out small gifts and saying, “My name is Donald,” in a sweet moment captured and shared online by communications advisor Margo Martin.
The short clip, viewed hundreds of thousands of times within hours of being posted , struck a lighter note during a packed news cycle after the government shutdown, giving supporters and critics alike a glimpse of the president’s softer side.
The video racked up nearly 500,000 views within two hours of being posted to Martin’s X account. Martin often shares behind-the-scenes footage of Trump that can’t be seen anywhere else.
In the video, a speaker off camera says, “He wants to know what your name is.”
The president then responded, “My name is Donald,” with a grin.
