Kai Trump’s reaction after her grandpa got shot
In her first-ever speech, Kai also shared that the the president-elect is ”just a normal grandpa.” ”He gives us candy and soda when our parents aren’t looking,” the teen revealed.
Kai also mentioned that her grandfather always checks in on how his grandkids are ”doing in school.” She recalled, ”When I made the high honor roll, he printed it out to show his friends how proud he was of me.”
Many people felt that Kai made a very natural and impressive impression during her speech – but in reality, she was quite nervous, something she admitted afterwards.
”There were a lot more people than I expected, for sure. I didn’t think it was going to be that much,” she confessed in an interview with Grant Horvat.
Kai’s reaction to grandpa being shot
Donald and Kai share a truly special bond, and one of the most emotional moments they’ve shared together was at the RNC.
For Kai, her speech was far more than just a public event — it was a deeply personal and powerful experience.
”It was really special for both of us,” Kai shared, reflecting on the moment.
”It was right after he was shot, and it was the first time I’d seen him since. That was really special. Like, we got a little teary-eyed both of us. I’ll never forget that,” Kai said.
Shares the love of golf
Kai Trump’s love for golf is undeniable, and it seems she’s following in some pretty impressive footsteps.
After moving to South Florida at the age of 13, Kai found herself right at home at The Benjamin School in North Palm Beach.
This school is known for producing some golf royalty, with famous golfers like Jack Nicklaus and Greg Norman sending their kids there. Not to mention, Charlie Woods, Tiger Woods’ son, is also part of the school’s golf scene and helped the varsity team score a state title as a freshman.
But it’s not just school golf that Kai excels in.
Earlier this year, she won the ladies’ club championship at Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, showing she’s a serious competitor.
”Golf has always been a massive part of my life and is my biggest passion. I always aspire to be a leader and a positive figure on and off the golf course,” Kai’s SportsRecruits biography states.
