Donald Trump’s granddaughter, Kai, was observed displaying admiration towards the US president during their joint appearance at the Ryder Cup, according to a body language expert. The 18-year-old accompanied her 79-year-old grandfather as they arrived at Bethpage Black in New York for the opening session of the golf tournament. Kai, who recently launched her own merchandise line to enhance her influencer career, sported a white jumper with ‘KT’ initials, showcasing her brand.
Body language specialist Judi James noted Kai’s reverential demeanor towards her grandfather, indicating signs of hero-worship. Trump showed pride with a pat on Kai’s back, but Kai seemed more focused on learning through observation rather than direct instruction. As Trump engaged the crowd by gesturing playfully, Kai mimicked his actions from behind. Observing their interactions further, Judi highlighted the mutual pride between them, noting Trump’s awareness of Kai’s confidence and desire for independence.
Kai Trump, the daughter of Donald Trump Jr., made her first public speech at the 2024 Republican National Convention at 17 years old, describing her grandfather as a “normal grandpa” who indulges her with treats and checks on her golf progress. Trump commended Kai’s golf skills, predicting that she might surpass him in the future. Currently, Kai competes for her high school golf team in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
Meanwhile, Team Europe made a strong start at the Ryder Cup by winning the foursomes session 3-1 on the first day, while Team USA struggled, with home favorite Bryson DeChambeau facing initial setbacks.
