Former President Donald Trump’s eldest grandchild took the stage at the Republican National Convention (RNC) on Wednesday, and quickly stole the show as she shared a more personal side of her grandfather with the American people.
Kai Madison Trump stepped up to the microphone after a brief introduction from her father, Donald Trump Jr. — who joked that it might be the first and last time that anyone witnesses a Trump giving a microphone to someone else — regaled the crowd with anecdotes about golfing with her grandfather.

She introduced herself by saying that her goal was to “share the side of my grandpa that people don’t often see” – and immediately segued into stories about how proud he had been when she made the high honor roll and how much fun they had golfing together.
“He’s just a normal grandpa,” she said. “He gives us candy and soda when our parents aren’t looking.”
“When we play golf together, if I’m not on his team, he’ll try to get inside of my head,” she added. “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.”
She took a more serious tone then, saying, “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.”
“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.”
