Donald Trump’s granddaughter Kai, 17, took the stage at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday to unveil her first major appearance in politics.
Daughter of Don Jr. and ex-wife Vanessa will address thousands of GOP delegates and fans on the third night of the event at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
“I’m honored to be speaking at the RNC at 9pm (CDT),” he posted on social media on Wednesday hours before his keynote appearance.

He will take the stage before his father and partner JD Vance and his wife Usha.
Donald Trump’s 17-year-old granddaughter took the stage at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday to unveil her first major appearance in politics.
Hours before his appearance he was given a rundown of how the night would unfold by the show’s producers and with the help of his mother and father.
Kai is the oldest of Trump’s 10 grandchildren and was in the spotlight during his first term in the White House.
The teenager attended the inauguration and the White House Easter Egg drop. He is also a golfer and has a YouTube page dedicated to his time on the links.
He is still only 17 but he is already considered to be the most successful golfer of the Trump dynasty.
On Wednesday he will make his debut on the national stage in primetime.
Kai has won the women’s club championship at her grandfather’s golf course in Palm Beach, Florida, and has played with some of the game’s biggest stars.
The youngster – the daughter of Donald Jr and his ex-wife Vanessa – claims to be part of Callaway Next, ‘the next generation of Callaway Tour Pros.’
The longest drive he said was 275 yards. Only 14 players on the LPGA average are longer in 2023.
He has played with Bryson DeChambeau, Swedish professional Daniela Holmqvist, two-time world long drive champion Kyle Berkshire and other promising youngsters.

Kai claims that he was able to drive the ball 275 yards at the age of 16.
Between them, he shot 9-under, the lowest score of the day.
The teenager claimed to end the round with five birdies; on the last hole, he watched his grandfather above the approach shot before sticking him at 10ft from the flag.
Trump’s empire courses allow Kai to hone his skills and shots across America.
Some members in Palm Beach suggested he was talented and dedicated enough to earn a college scholarship.
