Donald Trump wasted no time in sharing sweet moments with his family on social media on Saturday, just hours after he returned home from a business trip to India.
President Donald Trump’s oldest son was in Asia to promote Trump-brand luxury real estate, and make an appearance at a global business summit held on Friday in New Dehli.
Donald Jr was originally slated to speak on the topic of ‘Reshaping the Indo-Pacific – The New Era of Cooperation,’ but his appearance was changed to a ‘fireside chat’ where he spoke about his business and steered clear of foreign policy issues at the last minute.
The change was made on the advice of ethics experts who aid Donald Jr and believed he should avoid weighing in on policy issues as a private citizen.
Once the summit wrapped, the father-of-five was quick to share how excited he was to see his family in New York City.

‘Still on the plane coming back from India and just got this,’ Donald Jr wrote with a video of two of his children, posted on Saturday.
‘Missing my monkeys so much. Can’t wait to see them,’ he added.
The clip starts focused on his daughter, seated on a blue and white printed couch, wearing a tiny-sized white polo shirt.
‘Chloe, who are we gonna see today?’ his wife’s voice can be heard asking their daughter, from off camera.
‘Daddy!’ the little girl responds, with a wide grin.
Then the camera pans to the right, and we see one of his sons, who also answers, ‘Daddy!’ in similar fashion.
The two youngsters are clearly excited about their fathers return, with their energy growing as they feed off of each other, chanting ‘Daddy! Daddy!’ at intervals, and then in unison.

Once Donald Jr got back, he spent quality time with his youngest son at an indoor rock climbing facility and also shared a picture of his son trampolining.
‘Great to finally be back with the monsters,’ Donald Jr wrote with this post. ‘Go little man go. Spencer honing his climbing skills.’
Donald Jr’s son glided up the rock wall, taking care to focus on safety first in a harness outfitted with adjustable leg loops.
His lime green climbing shoes gave the little tyke the grip he needed to nimbly scale the wall, as his proud father cheered him on.

Late on Saturday, Donald Jr added several selfies with daughter Chloe to this Instagram feed.
‘Chloe time,’ he wrote, sharing three images with his little girl.
The two were huddled close, cheek to cheek, as the bright-eyed toddler focused on the camera while her dad smiled, mimicked his girl’s facial expression, and finally gave her a kiss on the cheek in the photo series.
It’s clear the 40-year-old was missing his brood while he was away on business. On Thursday while he was still in Mumbia, India, he shared an image of his youngest child enjoying a cup full of chocolaty goodness, nearly 8,000 miles away in New York City.
‘Always great to get pics of the monsters when I’m away on business trips,’ he wrote with the photo. ‘I wish I liked anything as much as Chloe likes Oreos on ice cream.’
Donald Jr and his wife, Vanessa, have five children together. They are Kai Madison, 10; Donald III, 9; Tristan Milos, 6; Spencer Frederick, 5; and Chloe Sophia, 3.
The two have been married since 2005.

Donald Jr shared this photo from India on Wednesday, writing: ‘Thanks for a great lunch at the iconic Birla House, adjoining Gandhi Smriti. I enjoyed meeting New Delhi’s business leaders. Thanks to the hosts – Shobhana Bhartia, Deepak Parekh and Milind Deora @milinddeora’
Concerns were raised about Donald Jr’s trip, in his status as a private US citizen and executive in the Trump organization, but also son of the President.
US Senator Bob Menendez, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, wrote to the US ambassador to India this week to ask for guarantees that the embassy and the State Department would not offer any support to Donald Jr, beyond helping the US Secret Service to provide him with security.
‘I am concerned that [his] speech will send the mistaken message that he is speaking on behalf of the president, the administration or the United States government, not as a private individual, or that he is communicating official American policy,’ Menendez wrote.
On Thursday, White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said the Trump administration ‘takes seriously its obligation to ensure that government resources are not used to provide a private benefit to anyone.’
‘Donald Trump Jr is a private individual and neither the State Department nor the White House has provided any support for this trip beyond coordinating with his Secret Service protection,’ Walters said.
