President Donald Trump’s granddaughter, Kai Trump, gave a personal view of the president’s time outside of the White House.
In a recent video posted on her YouTube channel, dubbed “1 on 1 with Kai,” the two discussed life and sports in a laid-back format at Trump National Golf Club in Washington, D.C.
“We’ve been playing golf together for years. It’s something he’s always loved, and it’s become a way for us to spend time together,” Kai, 18, said in the introduction of the over 1-hour-long video. “Over the years, I’ve learned a lot from being on the course with him. Not just about golf, but about life.”
The video opens with Trump and Kai, a University of Miami golf commit, vlogging from a presidential golf cart.
“We’re going to have a little fun,” Trump said. We’ll play a best ball, and we’ll see how we’ll do. I think we’ll do OK.”
It then cuts to a montage of both of their swings, with Trump, wearing a signature MAGA hat, later greeting and thanking Secret Service as they moved to another hole. Kai at one point appeared to reference the president’s past, including two assassination attempts, to which Trump responded with a laugh: “I had some close calls, that’s true honey.”
The video shows Kai occasionally quizzing Trump throughout their round, including to name his favorite golfer of all time. He immediately replied with Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player.
She also asked how Barron, the president’s youngest son, is doing in college at New York University.
“He’s doing good. He’s a good boy,” Trump said. “He loves you. He said ‘Say hello to Kai dad.’ I said, ‘Barron, why don’t you come out and watch?’ He’s so cute.”
The best advice Trump would give to someone is “to love what you do.”
“Otherwise, you’re not going to do it well,” he continued.
At one point, Kai also asked Trump, “Is there a dream that you’re still trying to chase? Or have you reached all your dreams?”
Trump appeared to be caught off guard, joking: “You are asking questions like you’re a television company. I thought I was just going to come out and play a round of golf with you… You’re asking questions like I’m on television.”
“No, look. You become president. That’s a dream, right?” Trump said. “Now you dream that you want to be a great president.”
Kai replied, “I think you’re doing a pretty good job.”
When asked about his time in the White House so far, Trump said he solved seven wars — a claim he has repeated, but has been debunked. Trump recently added the ceasefire with Israel and Hamas to the list, making it eight.
“Hopefully, we get Putin and Zelenskyy to stop killing everybody,” Trump said of the Russia-Ukraine war, before adding: “And it’s been very good. Economy’s been great.”
The final team score, according to Kai, was negative two.
“She’s a great player, this one,” Trump said at the end.
