Highly visible in recent weeks, Donald Trump’s granddaughter is an important asset for the President-elect of the United States in his desire to be close to his voters and to reach younger populations.
A newcomer to the Trump galaxy. While Donald Trump was elected President of the United States for the second time after his triumph in the presidential election on November 5, many members of the family of the future 47th President of the United States highlighted these recent weeks.
This is the case of Kai Trump, aged 17, the eldest of Donald Trump’s ten grandchildren. She is the daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump, but also the half-niece of Barron Trump and Tiffany Trump, as well as the step-granddaughter of Melania Trump.
Very present on social networks, she is followed by nearly a million subscribers on Tiktok while her YouTube channel, launched two weeks ago, already has 179,000 subscribers. Kai Trump is an asset to his grandfather’s communications.
Smashing entrance
Kai Trump made his entrance into American political life last July, on the third day of the Republican National Convention held in Milwaukee, a few days after the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
In a three-minute speech, the young woman wanted to give a human image of the candidate, still the target of several legal cases. “I’m speaking today to share the side of my grandfather that people don’t often see,” she began.
“He gives us candy and soda when our parents aren’t looking. He always wants to know how we’re doing in school. When I made the honor roll, he printed it out to show his friends how proud he was of me,” she said, under the visibly moved gaze of Donald Trump.
Regarding the shootings of which her grandfather was the victim, the young woman once again paid tribute to him and expressed her “shock.” “It broke my heart that someone could do this to another person. Grandpa, you are such an inspiration and I love you,” she said.
A successful attempt for Kai Trump, since in the won over crowd, several spectators chanted “Kai 2040!” after having applauded her copiously, underlines Madame Figaro.
Future golfer?
Before this speech, Kai Trump was little known to the general public, even if sporadic photos of her while still a child punctuated Donald Trump’s first visit to the White House. She was notably present on the day of his inauguration in 2017.
Above all, the 17-year-old young woman is an aspiring golfer, a passion that she also shares with Donald Trump. On several occasions on her Instagram account, aptly named Kai Trump Golfer and followed by nearly 600,000 people, she often showcases her exploits on the green and her games with her grandfather.
On this same social network, the woman who studies at the University of Miami indicated that she had won the women’s club championship on Donald Trump’s golf course in Palm Beach, Florida.
Regularly on social networks, on November 10 she published a photo with billionaire Elon Musk. She says that he, a fervent supporter of Donald Trump during the last campaign, is “now her uncle.”
An asset for Trump
Kai Trump, as well as the audience she represents towards a younger target, are an asset in Donald Trump’s communication, and in his desire to show his closeness to the American people.
This Monday, November 11, she published on her YouTube channel a vlog of around ten minutes in which she presents behind the scenes of the election night of November 5.
You can see her getting her makeup done, choosing her outfit for the evening, or taking photos with her family. The video, shared less than 24 hours ago, has more than 1.4 million views.
“It’s really motivating to see that every day and to have that as a role model. When I grow up, I just want to be like him and fight like him,” she concludes.
