Kai’s dad introduced her on stage and said that it was her “first time ever on a stage” and “first time ever giving a speech”.
After introducing herself to the crowd as “the granddaughter of Donald Trump”, Kai began her speech, saying: “I’m speaking today to share the side of my grandpa that people don’t often see.
“To me, he’s just a normal grandpa,” she shared. “He gives us candy and soda when our parents aren’t looking. He always wants to know how we’re doing in school.”
“Even amidst his legal battles, he always asks me how I’m doing,” Kai continued. “He encourages me to push myself to be the most successful person I can be. He sets the bar pretty high, but who knows, maybe one day I’ll catch him.”
She added: “A lot of people have put my grandpa through hell… and he’s still standing.”
During her speech at the RNC in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Kai highlighted her close relationship with her grandfather. “He calls me during the middle of the school day to ask about my golf game and tells me all about his,” she said. “But then I have to remind him that I’m in school and I’ll have to call him back later.”
Kai also shared insights about their golf games. “When we play golf together, if I’m not on his team, he tries to get inside my head, but I remind him that I’m a Trump too.”
