Meet Donald Trump’s oldest grandchild, Kai Trump: Donald Trump Jr and Vanessa Trump’s 17-year-old daughter just made her first major political appearance at the RNC – and is an accomplished golfer
- The news of Donald Trump getting shot on July 13 shook the world – but the former US president still gave a speech at the Republican National Convention a few days later, albeit with his ear bandaged
- His oldest grandchild Kai impressed the audience with her debut RNC speech, calling her grandpa ‘caring and loving’; the young golfer has also played with big hitters like Bryson DeChambeau
“I’m speaking today to share a side of my grandpa that people don’t often see,” she said, addressing thousands of cheering Republican Party delegates on the third night of the event at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
“The media makes my grandpa seem like a different person, but I know him for who he is. He’s very caring and loving,” Kai continued as her grandpa looked on: “He truly wants the best for this country and he will fight every single day to make America great again.”
