President Donald Trump attended the College Football Playoff national championship game between Indiana Hoosiers and Miami Hurricanes at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens on Monday. He was joined by his daughter, Ivanka Trump, and his granddaughter, Kai Trump.
The family was shown on the broadcast during the national anthem, performed by Jamal Roberts. Viewers quickly noticed that Kai Trump was wearing an arm sling, typically associated with fractures or post-surgical recovery. This prompted concern and speculation on social media.
