Grant Hovrat lost a million subscribers race against Bryson DeChambeau after the 2-time US Open winner invited the 45th President of the United States for a fun round of golf. Seeing the trend, the golf influencer welcomed another Trump on his YouTube channel, the oldest granddaughter and avid golfer, Kai Trump. She might be the only one who had taken after her grandfather and plays varsity golf for Benjamin High School in Palm Beach.
Being the 45th POTUS’ granddaughter, the spotlight has always been on Kai Trump since she came to the world 17 years ago. Thus, Hovrat asked the junior golfer how it has affected her personality and relationships in her life. Surprisingly, the 17-year-old revealed that it didn’t faze her at all. She proudly said, “It’s always been normal Spotlight, and like that’s never really changed who I am. I’m still very grounded from it.” Although the outside noises might have been loud, Kai Trump explained that she had known that all her life and she didn’t let it become her personality,
So much so that at school, her relationship with Donald Trump doesn’t make her stand out amongst the thousands of students. Moreover, after her speech at the Republican National Convention, the 17-year-old expressed that she has been busy texting all her friends and rather shifting the focus from her and asking them about their days. That’s one thing Kai Trump says, “that’s never going to change.”
