Donald Trump’s YouTuber eldest grandchild will be at his inauguration on Monday and has pledged to spend more of her time in Washington DC with her grandfather.
Kai Madison Trump is the daughter of Donald Trump Jr, Trump’s eldest son, and Vanessa Trump. Trump Jr and Vanessa divorced in 2018.
The 17-year-old recently told her followers in a video that her grandfather’s inauguration was going to change her life, and she believed the life of every America.
“For America and I think for our family, I think it’s just so important that he won,” she said in a recent video. “I think these next four years are going to be the best four years America has had in a very long time. I’m so happy for him on the inside. I’m so happy that our family gets to do this again.”
She also promised her followers a behind-the-scenes look at the White House while she visits on Monday. In addition to giving a sneak peak into what its like for one’s grandfather to be among the most powerful individuals on the planet, she told her followers that she hoped to split her time between her home near Jupiter, Florida, and in Washignton DC visiting Trump.
Her grandfather’s 2024 campaign was the first time she publicly campaigned for him in any capacity. Earlier this year she boosted him during a speech at the Republican National Convention.
Trump Jr and Kai were also spotted together attending a UFC fight around the time of the RNC. While there, she posed for photos with UFC boss Dana White as well as NFL player Aaron Rodgers and country music star Jelly Roll, Fox News reports.
Since her appearance during the back end of Trump’s 2024 campaign, Kai has been focused on finishing high school and working on her YouTube presence.
Her channel offers typical teenage fare; she hangs out with friends, participates in her hobbies, and talks about the things she likes, including sports like pickleball, tennis, and her — and her grandfather’s — favorite, golf.
Kai is reportedly skilled at the sport; last March she won the ladies’ club championship at Trump’s private club in West Palm Beach. She’s also had the opportunity to play with professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau.
It’s been a whirlwind year for the 17-year-old, at least when it comes to her grandfather. Not only was he once again elected president, but arlier this year she had to watch footage of a would-be assassin try to kill him.At the time she shared her concerns for his health in an Instagram post.
“We love you Grandpa. Never stop fighting!” the post said.
Kai already appears to be dipping her toes into the waters of the right-wing media bog; she attended Turning Point USA’s leadership summit last June, which was hosted by the far-right media commentator Charlie Kirk in Detroit.
The 17-year-old is the older sister to Donald Trump Jr’s other children, Donald John III, Tristan, Spencer, and Chloe.
