Kai Trump, the president’s oldest granddaughter, is making waves on the golf circuit with her remarkable talent and determination. In an exclusive interview with Ainsley Earhardt on ‘Fox & Friends,’ she opened up about the special bond she shares with her grandfather, President Donald Trump, who she credits for instilling a deep sense of perseverance in her golf career. Speaking warmly of her relationship with her grandpa, Kai said, ‘He taught me to just keep on working at it… I’ve gotten a lot better in past years with golf.’ This lesson, she explained, has been crucial as she prepares to take her golfing career to the next level at the University of Miami, where she is set to play for the Hurricanes.
Her commitment to the Hurricanes was publicly announced last August with a passionate Instagram post, where she expressed her excitement for the opportunity to further her golfing ambitions. Now, she is also making headlines with her recent partnership with Accelerator, the maker of a sugar-free energy drink, which has come through a Name, Image, and Likelihood (NIL) deal. This partnership represents a significant step in her transition towards a professional career in sports. President Donald Trump has publicly acknowledged her talents, calling her a ‘fantastic’ golfer and even implying that she might one day be able to beat him in the sport.
Kai’s journey has not only been about golf but also about navigating the public eye. In her ‘Fox & Friends’ interview, she described the challenges of being a high-profile student, calling it ‘a lot to handle,’ yet she expressed her gratitude for the opportunities she has been given. She highlighted the importance of meeting world leaders and collaborating with notable figures as part of her experience. Reflecting on her position, she said, ‘I’m very lucky, and grateful for the opportunity I have to meet all these people and collab with them, as well as just meet world leaders. I’m just very thankful and just lucky to have this opportunity.’ Her words underscore a blend of personal pride and recognition of the unique position she occupies, balancing the demands of fame with her dedication to sports.
