Former President Donald J. Trump‘s eldest grandchild, 17-year-old Kai Madison Trump, shared a touching tribute to her grandfather at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee on Wednesday, saying she wanted to “share the side of my grandpa that people don’t often see.”
Introduced by her father, Donald Trump Jr., Kai described the former president as a doting and involved grandfather who “gives us candy and soda when our parents aren’t looking,” takes pride in her school achievements, and regularly calls and plays golf with her.
“On Saturday, I was shocked when I heard that he has been shot, and I just wanted to know if he was OK. It was heartbreaking that someone would do that to another person,” she said.
“A lot of people have put my grandpa through hell, and he’s still standing,” she continued, earning cheers from the crowd.
“Grandpa, you are such an inspiration, and I love you,” she added.
“The media makes my grandpa seem like a different person, but I know 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.”
