In a funny and heartwarming Question and Answer video posted to social media, Trump’s granddaughter, Kai Trump, shared some entertaining stories from her life and about her grandpa. Particularly, she joked about her celebrity crush and an “embarrassing” and entertaining story she had with her grandpa.
The clip was posted by the 17-year-old to her many fans on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) and was titled, “Get to know me better…Q&A.” Kai is known mainly for her golf game and is the oldest grandchild of the 78-year-old president-elect. She has been creating more of a social media presence lately and has been traveling some with her grandpa.
It was toward the beginning of the fun Q&A episode that one commenter asked Kai, “Celebrity crush?” Responding as most teenagers would, with an involuntary blush, Kai then stalled a bit and said she “had to look up” who it was. Then, just after glancing at her screen, Kai said, “Oh my God, I know. Why do I need my phone? His name is Drew Starkey. Do you guys know him — ‘Outer Banks?’”
Obviously a tad embarrassed, Kai, who was blushing, said, “All right, my celebrity crush — Drew Starkey from ‘Outer Banks.’ I love him, so yeah, that’s my celebrity crush.” Continuing, she fanned herself with her hand as her blush became more visible and admitted, as she did so, “I’m gonna blush right now!”
At another point in the Q+A clip, a different fan asked Kai, “Who’s better at golf? You or your grandpa?” Joking with her response, she said she couldn’t say out of “respect” for her grandfather, telling her fans, “So I can’t really answer that one just because, you know, I respect my grandpa. But I say every we’re pretty 50/50, I mean, depends on the day.”
At another point, Kai shared an “embarrassing moment” she had with one of her friends with whom she was golfing, as her grandpa though the friend was her boyfriend. Commenting on what she said was her “most embarrassing moment” with her grandpa, Kai said, “I brought one of my guy friends to play golf, and [Trump] goes, ‘Oh my God, look at how handsome your boyfriend is.’”
Continuing, she noted that the friend with whom she was playing has a girlfriend, which made the moment quite awkward and embarrassing for her. She said, getting a bit embarrassed as she told the story, “And I got so embarrassed because, like, he has a girlfriend. That was just awkward. That’s my most embarrassing moment ever.”
In still another moment, she was asked “What are some things your grandfather has taught you? Or what about him inspires you?” and responded with a heartwarming answer. She said, “He’s taught me to never give up, and if I have a dream, always try to achieve that dream and never stop trying because one day, it will happen.” She added, “And he’s president of the United States again, so never give up on your dreams.”
And, commenting on being with Trump when he won the November 5 election, a moment she said was her “most special” one with him, Kai said, “I feel like it was really crucial for everyone around the world and to be there with him and be older and understand how important it was for him to win, I think that was really special.”
