Who Is Kai Trump? Meet Donald Trump’s RNC Breakout Star Granddaughter
Donald Trump's family are among his biggest supporters, but it was one of the younger members of his family who became the breakout star of the Republican National Convention Wednesday (July 17).
Trump's granddaughter Kai Madison Trump appeared on stage to speak about her former president grandfather. Her message was simple, as she said she showed up to reveal "the side of my grandpa that people don't often see."
"To me he’s just a normal grandpa. 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 high honor roll he printed it out to show his friends how proud he was of me," Kai said, according to The Palm Beach Post.
It was the teenager's first time attending a big political event and her words left Trump smiling.
