Sneaking Candies and Soda
Kai Trump, Donald Trump’s 17-year-old granddaughter, has a unique relationship with her grandfather. When her parents aren’t looking, he sneaks her candy and soda. And, on the golf course, he’s all about getting into her head. Now, Kai opens up about their bond, offering insights you won’t expect…
A Tight-Knit Family
Donald Trump’s family is known for its close ties and colorful personalities. Among his 10 grandchildren, Kai stands out. She quickly congratulated her grandpa when he earned another chance to run for the White House. But her gesture was more than just family loyalty—it showcased their deep bond.
Kai Trump: Growing Up in the Spotlight
Kai Trump, born on May 12, 2007, in New York, is Donald Trump’s eldest grandchild. Her parents, Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa, welcomed her as the first child of their marriage. Born two weeks early at a charity event, she weighed 6 pounds and 14 ounces. Donald Trump, warming up to the idea of being a grandparent, soon embraced the role with joy.
Childhood and Early Years
Though Kai grew up in New York, she now resides in Jupiter, Florida. During her younger years, she stayed out of the limelight. One of the first public photos of Kai surfaced in 2014 when she was spotted filming Hunter Hayes at a Mar-a-Lago event. As Donald Trump’s political career took off, Kai slowly reappeared in official family photos.
Speaking Up in 2024
In 2024, Kai made a significant impression. She spoke at the Republican National Convention, where she described her grandfather as a caring, loving person committed to making America great again. “He’s just a normal grandpa,” she shared, revealing that he gives candy and soda when parents aren’t around. Kai also mentioned how proud he was when she made the honor roll.
A Special Bond
Kai’s speech also marked an emotional moment for both her and Donald. She recalled a tearful reunion after he was shot, making the experience all the more personal.
Golf: A Shared Passion
Kai’s love for golf runs deep, and she’s following in some impressive footsteps. After moving to Florida, she joined The Benjamin School, known for producing golf talent. Earlier this year, she won the ladies’ club championship at Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, proving her competitive spirit.
A Future in Golf
Kai has big plans for her golf career. She recently announced her commitment to the University of Miami’s women’s golf team. Her social media posts highlight her dedication to the sport, and she thanked her family for their support, including her grandfather, Donald Trump.
Intense Golf Battles
Kai’s time on the golf course with her grandfather is more than just fun—it’s competitive. She describes their matches as “stiff competition,” with Donald Trump always giving her a run for her money. “It’s never really game over,” she admits, though she jokes that she’s still working on getting better.
Staying Grounded
Despite being from such a famous family, Kai remains down-to-earth. She credits her grounded nature to growing up in the spotlight. “It’s all I’ve known my whole life,” she explains.
Politics Not for Her (Yet)
Although Kai has gained attention after her RNC speech, she’s not interested in politics for now. Her focus is on pursuing a professional golf career. Still, her speech at the convention changed everything, bringing her into the spotlight.
A Deep Bond with Grandpa
Kai’s photos with Donald Trump show a special connection. Whether on the golf course or at a family event, their bond is evident. Their warm smiles and shared moments speak volumes about their closeness.
Looking Ahead
As Kai embarks on her journey with the University of Miami’s golf team, her future looks bright. With her grounded nature, her story is just beginning—and we’ll likely see more of this talented young woman soon.
