His dad may be the new President of the United States - but that doesn't mean Barron Trump has to do as he's told.

While the rest of the Trump family grinned like lunatics during Friday's inauguration , the youngest of Donald's children behaved like any other 10-year-old.

As the new First Family walked along Pennsylvania Avenue, Trump's wife Melania reached to hold her son's hand.

But the preteen was having none of it and slipped his arm away like a pro.

The youngest Trump was also spotted yawnig away as his father addressed the nation for the first time after being sworn in as 45th President of the United States.

Barron watched the inauguration ceremony alongside mum and new First Lady, Melania, and his older siblings.

In a highly nationalistic 16-minute inaugural speech, the new US President told the American people: "This moment is your moment. It belongs to you.

Trump claimed American wealth had been “ripped from homes and redistributed across the world,” adding: “We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries”.

If Barron was as bored as he appeared, he'll be grateful to hear that his dad's 1,433-word swearing-in speech was one of the shorter maiden addresses in US Presidential history.

Barack Obama's two inaugural speeches clocked in at 2,096 and 2,395 words respectively.

Trump was widely mocked online for his "frequent sniffing" throughout his address to the nation.
