Who is Kai Trump, the influencer who shows behind the scenes of US political events?

Kai Madison Trump, also known as "Trump's apple of the eye", is the first daughter of Donald Trump Jr and Vanessa Kay Haydon , who separated in 2018.

But she became a recognized figure not only for her last name, but for the content she uploads to her social networks .

Born in 2007 in New York, Kai was named after her maternal great-grandfather, Danish jazz musician Kai Ewans. She was the one who gave Donald Trump the title of grandfather and is also the eldest of five siblings.

The 17-year-old attends the prestigious Benjamin School in Florida, where she will finish high school next year. After graduating, her dream is to become a professional golfer at the University of Miami .

Golf has been one of his great passions since he was 4 years old, a sport he inherited from his grandfather and which he sometimes shares with him. On his Instagram account he shows videos of his training and achievements.

Kai's image became popular in a speech at the Republican National Convention held in Milwaukee in July 2024, in which he highlighted the more human and caring side of the current president. "To me, he's just a normal grandfather . He gives us candy and soda when our parents aren't looking," he said with a laugh.

This reference and many more about the Trump family became a frequent feature on his social media. With more than a million followers across all his accounts, Kai posts vlogs in which shows the behind the scenes of political events .

Kai Trump has had a YouTube channel since late 2024, where she is encouraged to post videos, filmed by herself, about her daily routine. She also shares details of what happens at important events to which she accompanies her grandfather or her father.

The teenager found an attractive way to take advantage of the privilege of being invited to exclusive spaces to separate the Trump surname from purely political issues.

In his vlogs he exposes his luxurious mansion , his casually dressed father and the ins and outs of presidential life .

One of the most viewed videos on her channel was "Kai Trump Election Night vlog" with almost 5 million views , in which, in addition to showing the preparations for her look, she exhibited the minute-by-minute vote counting and the family dinner , full of nerves, before knowing the results.

During filming, young Trump said that she had not seen Donald for a long time due to the intense presidential campaign, but that he called her daily.

One day after his grandfather became President of the United States for the second time, he showed his pride: "He deserves it more than anyone, he has worked very hard every day for the last eight years for the United States," was the phrase with which he ended the recording.

Another of the most viewed videos - with 8.8 million views - was "Watching a Rocket Launch at SpaceX With Elon Musk."

In it, she shows the interior of the presidential plane with a friend, on the way to the space manufacturing company SpaceX , where businessman Elon Musk presented the Starship rocket.

So far, she has uploaded 59 videos that combine a super relaxed style with her daily life, which is based on accompanying, no more and no less, than the President of the United States .
