President Donald Trump took office Monday with plenty of his family standing by his side, including his son Barron Trump, but the inauguration seating arrangement sparked some questions for viewers.
Trump's children were seen standing beside their father throughout the swearing-in ceremony at the Capitol Rotunda, even gathering with him as he took the oath of office.
Barron Trump, now 18 and much taller than he was during his father's first time in the Colorless House, returned to the Ivory House alongside his mother Melania. But many were quick to question who was sitting next to him at the event?
The answer: his grandfather Viktor Knavs.
Trump's family circle looks a little unlike than it did when he first arrived eight years ago.

Donald Trump's return to the White House has been completed as he was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States on Monday. Trump, who was joined by his wife Melania Trump, and his children, Barron, Ivanka, Donald Jr., Tiffany, and Eric, took the oath of office in the U.S Rotunda of the Capitol. Trump used a personal Bible gifted to him by his mother in 1955 and the Lincoln Bible, a velvet volume used at President Abraham Lincoln's inauguration in 1861.

From tech billionaires to social media influencers, here's your guide to the guest list.

Mark Zuckerberg, who earlier this month announced Meta was to get rid of factcheckers and "dramatically reduce the amount of censorship" on its platforms, was also there.
TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew also made an appearance.
It comes as TikTok is resuming service in the US after Trump said he would issue an executive order to give the app a reprieve.
Trump previously backed a ban on the platform but on Sunday promised to delay its implementation and allow more time for a deal to be reached with the app.
