Kai Trump (17) has become the new star of the family. Donald Trump's granddaughter has gone viral after dazzling at the Republican National Convention held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Young, beautiful, and with a lovely smile, she momentarily overshadowed her own grandfather. Although her intention was to praise him.

"To me, he's just a regular grandpa who gives us candies and sodas when my parents aren't looking. The media makes my grandpa look like someone else, but I know who he really is. He genuinely cares, wants the best for this country, and will fight every day to make America great again," expressed the daughter of Donald Trump Jr., the former president's eldest son, during her speech to the thousands of attendees at the convention.

Wearing a white minidress and high heels, the young woman lit up the auditorium. Not only for her tenderness when speaking about her grandfather but also for her brunette beauty. "He always wants to know how I'm doing in school. When I made the honor roll, he printed it out to show how proud he was of me. Seriously. He calls me while I'm in class to ask how my golf is going and tell me about his, but I have to remind him that I'm in school and I'll call him back later," she shared.

A professional golfer, she recently won the women's golf championship at Trump's club in Palm Beach, Florida. Besides being an excellent athlete, she has also shown a talent for public speaking. On her Instagram account, she has over 175,000 followers, and we can see that all her posts are related to golf or her family.

The young woman expressed her admiration for her grandfather at the convention. "Grandpa, you are an inspiration, and I love you," she concluded. The former president's followers now have a new idol. Some have even speculated that a granddaughter with such talent could lead the Trump political dynasty into a third generation.

Kai is the oldest of Trump's ten grandchildren. She is the daughter of the former president's eldest son and ex-actress and model Vanessa Kay Haydon, who divorced when she was 11 years old. Despite the trauma of the separation, she has had a privileged childhood, surrounded by all kinds of luxuries since not only her paternal family is wealthy, but also her mother's, who inherited a fortune from her father, a lawyer who invested in a pasta sauce that he later sold to the Italian restaurant chain Rao's. According to Celebrity Net Worth, when the product was acquired by a competitor 25 years later, Vanessa's inherited share was worth 62 million dollars.

Trump and Vanessa divorced 13 years after their wedding at Mar-a-Lago. It was the former president himself who introduced them backstage at a fashion show in 2003.

They had five children: Kai (17), Donald III (15), Tristan (13), Spencer (12), and Chloe (10). The eldest, the new star of the clan, owes her name to her maternal great-grandfather, Danish jazz musician Kai Ewans.
