Fans spot obvious problem with Kai Trump's portrait of 'the whole family'
Eagle-eyed fans noticed two important Trump family members were missing from a photo posted by Donald's granddaughter Kai.
While Elon Musk and his son, X Æ A-12, managed to sneak into the family portrait, soon-to-be First Lady Melania Trump was nowhere to be seen.
Kimberly Guilfoyle, Don Jr's fiancee of four years, was also not pictured alongside the family. Kai's mother Vanessa, who shares five kids with Don Jr., was front and center in the snap.
Guilfoyle has kept a relatively low profile after her fiance was pictured during an intimate lunch date with Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson, which sparked speculation that the couple were on the rocks.
Kai shared a photo from election night captioned: 'The whole squad.'

She was front and center beside Trump on his big night as he was re-elected to the White House.
The 17-year-old golfer posed alongside her father, her aunt Tiffany, uncle Barron and other key members of the Trump clan.
Kai is the eldest of five children, Donald, Tristan, Spencer and Chloe, that Don Jr shares with ex-wife Vanessa. The pair split in 2018 after 13 years of marriage.
It is unclear where Melania was when the photo was taken, but she took to the stage with Trump and the rest of the family when he delivered his victory speech, looking happier than ever as she gripped her husband's hand and waved at the cheering crowds.
'Melania is not part of the squad?' one person questioned after the photo was posted. 'Where is the First Lady?'
'Melania and Kimberly get kicked out the squad?' another asked.
'Melania not even bothering to get in these pics anymore,' a third wrote.
Supporters said they could relate to Melania not being in the photo, saying it was a 'mom thing' or a 'wife thing' to be the one behind the camera.

During this election cycle, she has become a social media sensation, largely due to the quality of her golf game.
Following her appearance on stage, Kai took to social media to post a doting photo of her and her grandfather.
'No one works harder or cares more about the American people. Congratulations Grandpa, I love you!' she wrote.
Like Melania, Kimberly was in attendance on election night and graced the stage with Trump, but was not in the 'squad' photo Kai shared.

Melania Trump is expected to be by Trump's side in the White House, after four years of avoiding the spotlight and her husband's numerous scandals
The former Fox News host has been dating the president-elect's eldest son, Don Jr, since 2018, following his divorce from first wife Vanessa. The couple got engaged on December 31, 2020 but it wasn't made public until January 2022.
She is the ex-wife of California Democratic governor Gavin Newsom and has since become a prominent member of Trump's close circle and campaign.
By contrast, Elon Musk was not on stage with the rest of the family when Trump gave his victory speech, but did make it into Kai's squad photo.
Holding his son X in his arms, Musk beamed as he stood next to Lara Trump - a rising star within Trump's inner circle.
Musk had earlier revealed he would be at Mar-a-Lago with Trump and his allies as the results started rolling in, after becoming one of the Republican candidate's most outspoken allies and generous donors in 2024.
He publicly backed Trump after he survived the July 2024 assassination attempt.
'I love that Elon is family now,' one supporter wrote on Kai's photo.
'Did Grandpa just adopt a son?' another added.
