Who is Kai Trump? Donald Trump's eldest grandchild to speak at 2024 RNC
On social media, Kai wrote, 'We love you Grandpa. Never stop fighting!'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Donald J. Trump is often referred to as "President Trump" or "Mr. President," and has formerly been known as "Commander in Chief," "POTUS" and "45," as he was the 45th President of the United States. He has also enjoyed several other prominent titles.
However, before Trump was the leader of the free world, he was lovingly known as "dad" to five children, including Donald Jr., Ivanka, Eric, Tiffany and Barron, and "grandpa" to 10 grandchildren, beginning with the eldest, Kai.
Kai, 17, is seemingly ready to be cast into America's political spotlight as she is slated to speak at the 2024 Republican National Convention on Day 3 of the event in Milwaukee.

Ohio Sen. JD Vance, Trump's vice presidential pick, will also take center stage tonight.
Recently, the daughter of Don Jr. and Vanessa Trump, now divorced, was a regaled guest of Dana White's at the UFC 303 fight, which she attended opposite her dad. The Florida teen posed for photographs with White, the president of the UFC, former NFL superstar Aaron Rodgers and country music star Jelly Roll, among other A-listers.

Last year, the Florida native started a YouTube channel. She kickstarted the outreach social media page with a video titled, "Get to know Kai Trump!"
"It should overall be a fun channel," Kai said in the clip.

As Kai scampers around a golf course, her friend asks questions, and she gives viewers insight into some of her favorite things, which includes pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks, proscuitto meat and ricotta cheese, and playing pickleball and tennis.
In March, Kai won the ladies' club championship at the private Trump Golf Club in West Palm Beach. She has posted photographs and clips in the past playing with golf professional and PGA player Bryson DeChambeau.

On Saturday, while speaking to supporters at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, former President Trump was shot by a lone gunman perched on a rooftop nearby. He was struck in the ear before Secret Service agents covered him and removed him from the stage.

Before being escorted away, the former president was recorded straight-armed with his fist in the air shouting "fight, fight, fight" to the crowd.
Kai took to Instagram to express her admiration for her grandfather's unwavering will to wrangle the U.S. political system for the people. She wrote, "We love you Grandpa. Never stop fighting!"
In mid-June, Kai joined tens of thousands of people at Turning Point USA's leadership summit event hosted by Charlie Kirk in Detroit. She was photographed with former President Trump, Don Jr. and her brother, Don III, 15.
