She’s a chip off the old block… especially when it comes to wooing a crowd.
Kai Trump, former President Donald Trump’s eldest granddaughter, and daughter of Donald Trump Jr., stole the show during day three of the Republican National Convention (RNC) with a rousing and touching speech about her grandfather.
“To me, he’s just a normal grandpa. He gives us candy and soda when our parents aren’t looking, he always wants to know how we’re doing in school,” she said.
“When I made the high honor roll, he printed it out to show his friends how proud he was of me,” she added. “He calls me during the middle of the school day to ask how my golf game is going, and tells me all about his. But then I have to remind him that I’m in school and I’ll have to call him back later.”
Kai’s speech aimed to show people a side of her grandfather that “people don’t often see.”
“Grandpa, you are such an inspiration and I love you,” she said. “The media makes my grandpa seem like a different person, but I know him for who he is. He’s very caring and loving. He truly wants the best for this country, and he will fight every single day to make America great again.”
“Even when he’s going through all these court cases, he always asks me how I’m doing. He always encourages me to push myself to be the most successful person I can be. Obviously, he sets the bar pretty high, but who knows, maybe one day I’ll catch him,” she added.
Born in 2007, Kai is an enthusiastic golfer. She is active on social media and regularly posts about her golf skills. Last year, Kai started a YouTube channel titled, “Get to know Kai Trump!”
“It should overall be a fun channel,” Kai said in the clip.
Her channel features everything from scampering around a golf course, asking her friends questions, giving viewers insights into some of her favorite things — which includes pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks, prosciutto meat and ricotta cheese and playing pickleball and tennis.
This past March, Kai won the ladies’ club championship at the private Trump Golf Club in West Palm Beach. She has posted photographs and clips in the past playing with golf professional and PGA player Bryson DeChambeau.
