Kai Trump reflects on her relationship with her grandfather

-Hi, everyone.
My name is Kai Madison Trump. I am the granddaughter
of Donald Trump. I’m speaking today
to share 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. [applause]
I know. He calls me during
the middle of the school day to ask
how my golf game is going, and tells me all about his. But then I had to remind him
that I’m in school and I’ll have to call
him back later. When we play golf together, if I’m not on his team, he’ll
try to get inside of my head. [laughter]
I know. 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. [cheers and applause] Even when he’s going through
all these court cases, he always asked me
how I’m doing. He always encourages me
to push myself to be the most successful person
I can be. Obviously, he sets
the bar pretty high, but who knows,
maybe one day I’ll catch him. On Saturday. I was shocked when I heard
that he has been shot. And I just want to know
if he was okay. It was heartbreaking
that someone would do that to another person. A lot of people
have put my grandpa through hell and he’s still standing. [cheers and applause] Grandpa, you are such
an inspiration and I love you. The media makes my grandpa seem
like a different person, but I know him for who he is. He’s very caring and loving. He truly wants the best
for this country, and he will fight every single
day to make America great again. Thank you very much. [cheers and applause]
