One particularly emotional moment for Kai came during her speech at the RNC, which occurred shortly after her grandfather had survived an assassination attempt. Reflecting on the experience, she shared, “It was really special for both of us. We got a little teary-eyed. I’ll never forget that.”
Kai’s relationship with her grandfather extends beyond politics. They share a mutual love for golf, often competing on the green. Kai has spoken about the intensity of their matches, joking that her grandfather rarely lets her win. Despite the stiff competition, Kai’s passion for the sport has flourished. Earlier this year, she won the ladies’ club championship at Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. Her talent and dedication to golf earned her a spot on the University of Miami’s women’s golf team, a milestone she proudly announced on Instagram, thanking her family—and her grandfather—for their support.
