Hello everyone! At the Republican National Convention (RNC) on Wednesday, former President Donald Trump’s eldest grandchild, Kai Madison Trump, took the stage and quickly stole the show. She shared a personal and heartwarming glimpse into her grandfather’s life, offering a side of him that the American people rarely see.
Kai Madison, introduced by her father, Donald Trump Jr., began with a lighthearted joke about it being the first and last time anyone would see a Trump hand over a microphone. From there, she captivated the audience with anecdotes about golfing with her grandfather and his pride in her academic achievements.
“My goal is to share the side of my grandpa that people don’t often see,” Kai began, smoothly transitioning into stories of her high honor roll accomplishments and the fun they have on the golf course. “He’s just a normal grandpa,” she said. “He gives us candy and soda when our parents aren’t looking.”
Kai recounted their golf games, where her grandfather would try to get inside her head if they were on opposing teams. “And he’s always surprised that I don’t let him get to me. But I have to remind him, I’m a Trump, too.”
The mood shifted as Kai spoke more seriously about her grandfather’s resilience. “Even when he’s going through all of these court cases, he always asks me how I’m doing. On Saturday, I was shocked when I heard he had been shot. And I just wanted to know if he was okay. It was heartbreaking to know that someone would do that to another person.”
Her heartfelt words brought the crowd to their feet. “A lot of people have put my grandpa through hell. And he’s still standing,” she said, prompting a standing ovation. “Grandpa, you are such an inspiration, and I love you. He truly wants the best for this country, and he will fight every single day to Make America Great Again.”
