President Trump surprised a group of tourists at the White House on Thursday with a quick hello – but he still found time for that classic photo-op beloved of all politicians – kissing a baby.

The smiling president was captured on video flanked by his Secret Service detail emerging from a door inside the West Wing as the tour party was being guided through.

The gathered group, erupts into applause and some of the crowd shout out, ‘We love you!’ and ‘God bless you, Mr. President!’

It is then that the president spots the baby and immediately makes a beeline for the child. 

He takes her from her mother, who seems happy to hand her over to the president, and kisses her on the head.

‘Enjoy the White House, everybody,’ he says to the crowd.
