Donald Trump’s granddaughter Kai has revealed the former president’s trademark trick to throw her off her game when they play golf.
Kai became a household name earlier this month when she delivered a rousing speech at the Republic National Convention in Milwaukee.
But, before that, she had already built a fledgling social media presence based on her reputation as an impressive young golfer in Florida.
In March, the 17-year-old even won the ladies’ club championship at Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach.
Her impressive swing, nearly 260-year drive and dedication to the sport helped earn her the Varsity Captain position at the Benjamin School, a prestigious $37,000-per-year high school in North Palm Beach, from which she is set to graduate in 2026.

Kai, who wants be a professional golfer in future, also frequently chronicles her personal training sessions and rigorous gym routines online.
On Monday, a video dropped of her playing with YouTube personality Grant Horvat – which has already had over 200,000 views – just a week after her grandfather’s video with Bryson DeChambeau was released and set the internet ablaze.
Kai was asked who often wins the matches against her grandfather and she admitted that, although they are normally close, the former president usually gets over the line.
She said: ‘I watched half of it (the DeChambeau video) because I was working out. It was awesome. It was crazy.
‘Genuinely, he always gives me a run for my money. It’s pretty close.
‘It’s never really like game over and I’ve won on the 15th hole. He wins a lot of the time. I do have to say that. I’ve got to get better.’
Horvat then asked Kai what her favorite golfing memory of her granddad is and she revealed one occasion where she managed to win despite his best efforts to put her off.

Kai continued: ‘I was going to say the RNC was pretty special for both of us because it was right after he got shot and I hadn’t seen him since then.
‘That was really special. We both got a bit teary-eyed. I’ll never forget that.
‘It was like the world stopped. It was that type of feeling. I was out with my friends actually. It was nice to see him again and it was a really special moment.
‘But on the golf course, there’s a lot. I play with him so often.
‘One time I was not on his team and I had to make this eight-foot birdie putt to win and he’s trying to get in my head like standing right over me, standing next to me.
‘I sunk it and l looked up and go like this (fist pumping) and he started smiling. That was the best moment.
‘When I made that putt, even though he lost, he was so happy and smiling and laughing. That was a pretty special moment, too.’
