Presidential campaigns in the USA are gradually entering a decisive stage. In early November, Americans will decide whether they want Joe Biden re-elected or Donald Trump to return to the White House.

According to some political scientists, the recent shooting of the Republican candidate in Pennsylvania could have already decided the outcome of the election. However, Donald Trump is not slowing down. He recently involved his 17-year-old granddaughter Kai in the campaign.

Donald Trump through his granddaughter's eyes

Kai Trump, the daughter of Donald Trump Jr., gave a short speech on Wednesday evening during the National Republican Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

I'm speaking today to share the side of my grandpa that people don't often see. To me, he's just a normal grandpa. He gives us candy and soda when our parents aren't looking. He always wants to know how we're doing in school. When I made the high honor roll, he presented it out to his friends how proud he was of me, the teenager recounted.

It is no secret that Donald Trump is one of the most controversial politicians in the USA, not only in recent years but possibly in the country's history. The former president polarizes the world with his views and statements. It's worth recalling that he compared migrants to animals and called Kim Jong Un "very nice."

However, his granddaughter tirelessly argued that the image of Trump portrayed in the media is different from reality.

A lot of people have put my grandpa through hell and he’s still standing. Grandpa, you are such an inspiration and I love you. The media makes my grandpa seem like a different person, but I know him for who he is. He’s very caring and loving. He truly wants the best for this country and he will fight every single day to make America great again, she said to thousands of Republicans.

Who is Kai Trump - Donald Trump's eldest granddaughter?

Kai Trump is the daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and his former wife, Vanessa Trump. The candidate for the US presidency has ten grandchildren, and 17-year-old Kai is the oldest.

Kai feels increasingly comfortable in the spotlight. She participated in numerous events during her grandfather's presidency, including the ceremonial inauguration of Trump's term and the Easter egg hunt at the White House. Now, she accompanies him at events related to the ongoing campaign.

Time will tell if she will want to pursue a career in politics. For now, she is primarily an avid golfer, which she talks about on social media. Over 150,000 people follow her Instagram account. Besides sharing snippets of her golf games, the teenager also shows behind-the-scenes moments from her grandfather's presidential campaign.
