On Monday, Kai Madison Trump, the eldest child of Donald Trump Jr. and his former wife Vanessa Trump, turns 18, and her family has shared birthday wishes to celebrate the occasion. Kai, who has four younger siblings—Donald John III, Tristan Milos, Spencer Frederick, and Chloe Sofia—has recently become more involved in the political realm, notably showing support for her grandfather during his 2024 presidential campaign at the Republican National Convention in Wisconsin.
Reflecting on her grandfather, she mentioned, “To me, he’s just a regular grandpa. He sneakily gives us candy and soda when our parents aren’t aware.” She added a light-hearted note about their time on the golf course: “When we play, if I’m not on his team, he tries to get into my head. It’s almost funny how surprised he is that I don’t let him!”
Currently, Kai is a senior at the Benjamin School in Palm Beach, Florida. Last summer, she announced her decision to attend Miami University, where she’ll play on the women’s golf team. A rising star in the sport, she’s been seen interacting with golf legends and has garnered a significant following on social media, sharing glimpses of her life on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
She’s not shy about showcasing her experiences, including a sneak peek tour of the White House and adventures at UFC events with her grandpa. In one of her videos, President Trump praised her skills: “I play a lot of golf with Kai, and let me just say, she’s exceptional. I think one day she’ll surpass even the scratch level.”
As she embraces adulthood, her birthday serves as a marker for this next chapter, and, well, it certainly seems like there’s more to come from this lively young woman.
