Donald Trump's Granddaughter Kai Gives Rare Insight on Their Bond

I have always been fascinated by the unique and complex lives of the Trump family, particularly the experiences of Donald’s children. Their stories are a testament to the intricacies of fame, power, and family dynamics.


For Donald Trump‘s granddaughter Kai Trump, the former president is just a “normal grandpa.”

During the Republican National Convention on July 17, a 17-year-old girl, who is the daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump, spoke about her father’s hidden affectionate side. She revealed that when her parents aren’t around, he secretly treats us with candies and sodas. He also takes great pride in our academic achievements, such as making the high honor roll, and happily shares the news with his friends.

She pointed out that her grandfather seldom displays his affectionate side, yet he frequently checks in on her during school hours to discuss her golf progress, sharing his own experiences as well. However, she would need to remind him that she was occupied with education and ask him to wait for a later call.

Instead, Kai admitted that she shares many similarities with the 78-year-old, not just while golfing but also off the course. She playfully teased him by reminding him, “I’m a Trump too,” when he showed signs of overly competitive behavior.

I’m fortunate to have someone constantly motivating me to reach my full potential, as he urges me on. He holds me to a high standard, and although it’s quite a challenge at times, I can only imagine that someday I might match his success.
