Kai Trump: Rising Star in Golf and Granddaughter of Donald Trump

Kai Trump, the 17-year-old granddaughter of Donald Trump, is stepping into the spotlight not just as part of America’s most famous political family, but as a promising golfer with a bright future. Born on May 12, 2007, to Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump, Kai was named after her maternal grandfather, Danish jazz musician Kai Ewans. Despite her high-profile family, she spent much of her childhood away from the cameras, building close ties with her siblings and her grandfather.

Her public profile grew during Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, but it was her 2024 Republican National Convention speech that made headlines. Calling her grandfather a “normal grandpa” who sneaks her candy and brags about her honor roll, Kai showed the world a more personal side of the former president. The moment carried extra weight, coming just weeks after Trump survived an assassination attempt.

Beyond politics, golf is where Kai truly shines. She won the ladies’ club championship at Trump’s West Palm Beach course and recently committed to the University of Miami’s women’s golf team. While she values privacy, Kai insists on letting her achievements speak for themselves—proving she’s more than just a famous last name.
