"He gives us candy and soda when our parents aren't looking," she said. "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."
Kai also recounted her grandfather's close bond with his family, especially after a recent assassination attempt. "On Saturday, I was shocked when I heard that he had been shot, and I just wanted to know if he was okay," she said. "It was heartbreaking that someone would do that to another person."

She praised Trump's resilience and his unwavering commitment to his country, despite facing numerous challenges. "Grandpa, you are such an inspiration and I love you," she said. "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."
Kai's speech highlighted Trump's role as a father figure in her life, offering guidance and encouragement. "Even when he's going through all these court cases, he always asks me how I'm doing," she said. "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."

Kai expressed a deep admiration for her grandfather's strength and determination, especially in the face of adversity. "I have to remind him I'm a Trump, too," she said, referring to her own competitive spirit on the golf course. "When we play golf together, if I'm not on his team, he'll try to get inside my head. And he's always surprised that I don't let him get to me."
Kai's speech drew both praise and criticism, reflecting the polarizing nature of her grandfather. However, it offered a glimpse into the personal side of a public figure often defined by his political persona, showcasing the deep love and support he enjoys within his family.
