Who is Kai Trump? Meet Donald’s golfer granddaughter after her RNC 2024 speech

Donald Trump has 10 grandchildren — but only one took the stage at the Republican National Convention in July 2024.

Donald Trump Jr.’s daughter Kai made headlines for her speech at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wis., during the event’s third night.

The high school student sported a cutout white dress with a bow in the back and heels at the time, wearing her brown hair curled.

The teen’s father introduced her to the audience, with the duo hugging before she spoke.

In Kai’s speech, which took place four days after the former president’s attempted assassination , she gushed about her “normal” grandfather.

Who are Kai’s parents?

In May 2007, Trump Jr. and his then-wife, Vanessa Trump (née Pergolizzi), welcomed Kai, two years after the couple’s Mar-a-Lago wedding.

The businessman and the former model broke up in 2018 and finalized their divorce the following year.

Trump Jr. moved on with Kimberly Guilfoyle shortly after his and Vanessa’s split made headlines.

He proposed to the Fox News anchor in December 2020.

The former “Apprentice” judge gushed over his eldest child when she turned 17 in May 2024, calling her tied with Chloe for the “most beautiful, smart, amazing young” woman ever.

“I am obviously very objective in this assessment,” he joked via Instagram . “Kai you make me proud every day and are kicking ass in life. I love you so much.”

What was Kai’s speech about at the 2024 RNC?

In her brief address, Kai spoke about “the side of [her] grandpa that people don’t often see.”

She joked that Trump gives her “candy and soda when [her] parents aren’t looking,” asks how she’s “doing in school” and brags about her grades to his friends.

“Even when he’s going through all these court cases, he always asks me how I’m doing,” she continued.
“He always encourages me to push myself to be the most successful person I can be. Obviously, he sets the bar pretty high. But who knows, maybe one day I’ll catch him.”

Kai concluded by sharing her “shocked” reaction to the “heartbreaking” news that Trump had been shot during a Pennsylvania campaign rally on July 13, 2024.

“I just wanted to know if she was OK,” she told audience members.

“Grandpa, you are such an inspiration and I love you,” Kai said before wrapping up with a call to “make America great again.”

Is she a golfer?

Kai is a competitive golfer, which is reflected in her @kaitrumpgolfer Instagram handle .

The athlete, who won a ladies’ club championship at Trump’s golf course in March 2024, has bonded over the sport with her grandfather.

“If I’m not on his team, he’ll try to get inside of my head,” she said during her RNC speech. “He’s always surprised that I don’t let him get to me, but I have to remind him that I’m a Trump too.”

Does Kai have college plans?

Kai wrote in her recruitment profile that she “hope[s] to continue [her] athletic career at the college level” when she graduates with the class of 2026.

“I am involved in three clubs at my school and push myself to achieve my academic and athletic goals,” the teenager added in her personal statement. “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.”
