When her parents aren’t around, he steals her soda and candies.
He also focuses on getting inside her thoughts when they go to the golf course.
Kai Trump now shares details about her special relationship with Grandpa Donald, and I promise you won’t believe what she reveals.
It is well known that Donald Trump’s large family is close-knit and full of unique personalities. One of them is Kai Trump, his 17-year-old granddaughter, who has been receiving more attention lately.
Kai wasn’t simply a usual act of family loyalty when she congratulated her grandfather on getting another chance at the White House. There seems to be more to their relationship than that.
Although Kai has historically avoided the spotlight, she has a love and respectful connection with her grandfather, Donald.
What is it like to be the granddaughter of one of the most well-known people in America, and who is Kai Trump in real life?
Like a true Trump, Kai Trump showed up.
Kai Madison Trump is the oldest of Donald Trump’s ten grandchildren and the first child of his father, Donald Trump Jr., and his former wife, Vanessa.
She was born in New York on May 12, 2007, and was named after her Danish jazz musician maternal grandpa, Kai Ewans.
According to the account, Kai, like a genuine Trump, arrived two weeks early because he was anxious to greet the world after Vanessa went into labor during a charity benefit in the city.
Her weight was six pounds and fourteen ounces.

When Donald Trump Jr. told People magazine from the hospital, “Everyone’s great,” he was beaming.
Regarding Donald Trump, he was becoming more receptive to the notion of becoming a grandfather.
Following the announcement of Kai’s arrival, he told the New York Post, “It’s not something I had necessarily in mind, but it feels very nice.”
Being only 14 months apart in age, Kai and her uncle Barron Trump spent a lot of time together while growing up in New York. What a Trump team, huh?
Despite having grown up in New York City, Kai currently lives with her mother in Jupiter, Florida.
Out of the spotlight
Public attention was little during the early years of her upbringing.
One of the earliest public images of Kai appeared in 2014, and she wasn’t frequently featured in the media.
At the age of six, she was seen shooting country music artist Hunter Hayes as he entertained the audience prior to the start of the event at the Mar-a-Lago Club’s second annual Invitational Grand Prix.

In 2016, when Donald Trump’s campaign gained momentum, Kai returned to the public eye by showing up in official family portraits.
Donald Trump has given his kids important positions in his business and television empire prior to his presidential campaign. They did, however, remain more subdued throughout his initial presidential campaign.
“I don’t think any of Trump’s family really understood the full force of what a presidential campaign can bring to bear on a person,” said political analyst Redd Galen, who worked on George Bush’s campaigns.
In 2024, speaking
In 2024, Kai Trump made a far bigger impact than she did in 2016, when she maintained a fairly quiet profile. For instance, on July 17, she spoke at the 2024 Republican National Convention after being introduced by her father.
Kai took the stage to tell America about her grandfather’s true nature on the third day of the convention.
“My grandfather appears to be a different person in the media. However, I am aware of his true nature. He is so nice and compassionate. He sincerely hopes for the best for this nation. She added, “And he will fight every day to restore America’s greatness.”
Kai also revealed in her very first address that the president-elect is “just a normal grandpa.” The teenager disclosed, “When our parents aren’t looking, he gives us candy and soda.”

Kai added that her grandfather always inquires about his grandchildren’s “doing in school.” “He printed it out to show his friends how proud he was of me when I made the high honor roll,” she recalled.
Although Kai later acknowledged that she was really nervous, many people thought she created a very impressive and natural impression throughout her speech.
“There were definitely a lot more people than I had anticipated. In an interview with Grant Horvat, she admitted, “I didn’t think it was going to be that much.”
Kai’s response after Grandpa was shot
Donald and Kai have a very close relationship, and their time at the RNC was one of their most poignant times together.
For Kai, giving her speech was a very intimate and impactful experience that went way beyond a simple public gathering.
Thinking back on the occasion, Kai said, “It was really special for both of us.”
I hadn’t seen him since he was shot, and that was the first time. That was truly unique. We both started crying a little bit. “I will always remember that,” Kai remarked.
Has a similar passion for golf
There is no denying Kai Trump’s passion for golf, and it appears she is carrying on her father’s legacy.
Kai, who moved to South Florida when she was thirteen, settled well at The Benjamin School in North Palm Beach.
Famous players like Greg Norman and Jack Nicklaus have sent their children to this institution, which is renowned for generating some golf royalty. Additionally, Tiger Woods’ son Charlie Woods participates in the school’s golf scene and, as a freshman, helped the varsity team win a state championship.
Kai is quite good at more than just school golf, though.
She proved she is a fierce competitor earlier this year when she won the ladies’ club championship at Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida.
“Golf is my greatest interest and has always played a significant role in my life. According to Kai’s SportsRecruits biography, “I always strive to be a leader and a positive figure on and off the golf course.”
Attending Miami University
Without a question, Kai Trump is committed to become a professional golfer.
She clearly identifies as a golfer, at least on social media, as evidenced by her Instagram account, kaitrumpgolfer.
She gave her fans even more thrilling news in August 2024 when the 17-year-old declared her commitment to the University of Miami women’s golf team.
Kai captioned the photo, saying, “I am incredibly thrilled to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Miami.” “I want to express my gratitude to my father, Don, and mother, Vanessa, for their unwavering support during my journey. I also want to express my gratitude to my amazing team for helping me get here.
In her tweet, Kai also made sure to thank her grandfather, Donald Trump.
“I want to express my gratitude to my grandfather for providing me with excellent support and access to wonderful courses.”
Fierce arguments with Grandpa
It’s obvious that Kai Trump and her grandfather spend a lot of time on the golf course.
There are numerous pictures of the two of them laughing and swinging clubs on the green on her Instagram. What’s actually happening on those fairways, though?
Kai claims that when it’s her against Grandpa, things get really heated. She made a joke about how competitive it is when they play together in an interview with YouTuber Grant Horvat in July.
She smiled and remarked, “It’s a stiff competition,” implying that Donald Trump isn’t exactly the kind to let his grandchild win, even if she is related!
Sincerely, he consistently outperforms me. “It’s quite near,” she remarked.
“I’ve won on the fifteenth hole, and it’s never really like the game is over.” He frequently prevails. I must admit that. I need to help myself.
Never altered
Kai participated in a stroke play golf match at Trump National in Jupiter, Florida, in the video featuring Grant Horvat.
Naturally, a lot of people were interested in learning what she would disclose about her well-known grandfather, but what truly grabbed notice was how sincere and grounded Kai comes across.
The YouTube video provided a fascinating look into her character.
“It’s great to see Kai so normal and level-headed, especially considering the pressure of coming from such a famous family,” one viewer said.
On Wednesday, November 6, 2024, Kai Trump posted
Another said, “It’s really nice to see a typical teenage girl! She is sincere, kind, refrains from shouting, and can communicate her emotions without losing her temper. She is able to speak!
The fact that Kai has always been accustomed to being in the spotlight may help to explain her composed manner.
It hasn’t truly altered who I am. Since it’s all I’ve ever known, I’m still quite grounded,” she remarked.
Will she pursue a career in politics?
On the other hand, Kai has always favored a modest profile.
Kai can lead a very anonymous existence without being instantly connected to her influential family, for people who are unfamiliar with her and may notice her last name.
“I’m like everyone else. That’s how I like to maintain it, and you wouldn’t know at all,” she says.
However, everything changed following her speech at the Republican National Convention.
She was suddenly in the news, especially after her grandfather, Donald Trump, won the election, and her phone was flying up. She congratulated him, of course, and based on the photos on Kai’s Instagram, it appears like they hang together frequently.
However, Kai made it apparent that politics is not her thing (at least not now) in the Grant Horvat interview. Her goal is to become a professional golfer, thus she is concentrating on her career.
Images of them
It’s difficult to overlook the strong link between Kai Trump and her grandfather, Donald Trump, when you examine their pictures closely.
It wasn’t until I began looking more closely at their photos together that I truly understood how close they are. Their interactions have a unique quality that communicates a lot without using words.
These moments depict an authentic connection between them, whether it’s through a shared joke, a warm smile, or just being there. Check out this one below—it’s the epitome of their unquestionable intimacy!

She is grounded, modest, and committed to remaining true to herself whether she is on the golf course with her well-known grandfather or in front of a large audience.
It’s evident that Kai’s narrative is only getting started as she looks to the future with the University of Miami women’s golf team, and I have a feeling that we’ll be seeing a lot more of this gifted young lady in the future.
