Donald Trump’s Granddaughter Kai Reveals Her Grandfather’s Most Influential Advice
President Donald Trump has a big fan in his granddaughter Kai Trump. The 18-year-old high school senior recently gushed about her grandfather in a new interview, where she revealed his most influential advice that he’s given her.
In a recent appearance on Fox & Friends, Kai — who is the daughter of Donald Trump, Jr. and ex Vanessa Trump — shared that Donald is a “big influence” on her life in one key area: the golf course.
“He taught me to just keep on working at it, and, honestly, I’ve gotten a lot better in past years with golf, but, he really just [taught me to keep] trying to keep on fighting and keep on practicing and whatnot,” she said.
“And I love playing golf… it’s something that we share, a special bond together,” Kai added.
According to DidTrumpGolfToday.com, the 45th and 47th president has so far golfed 40 days out of 178 days since returning to office, which represents 22.5 percent of the presidency spent golfing. The estimated cost to taxpayers for golf since returning to office is $56,000,000. So, clearly, golf is a priority for the entrepreneur and former reality star.
Kai clearly looks up to Donald. After all, her mom is dating Tiger Woods, so crediting Donald Trump with golfing advice is really saying something! And the feeling is mutual. In April, Donald said, per New York Post, “I just wanna say that I play a lot of golf with Kai and she’s a fantastic golfer.”
“She’s a scratch player, which is amazing. I think some day in the not-too-distant future she’s gonna be much better than scratch,” he continued. “But she’s doing really well and she wins a lot of matches. And some day she’ll be able to beat her grandfather, but I’m not sure when that’ll be… it might be a long time.”
Kai has signed with the University of Miami to play golf after she graduates from high school. She announced it on Instagram, writing in part, “I am beyond excited to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Miami. I would like to thank my mom, Vanessa, and my dad, Don, for always supporting me through my journey. I would also like to thank my great team for getting me to this point. I would like to thank my Grandpa for giving me access to great courses and tremendous support.”
