If you were to ask Donald Trump's grandkids, they'd tell you he's just like any other proud grandpa — at least that's what his eldest grandchild Kai said when she appeared on stage at the Republican National Convention in July 2024.
"He gives us candy and soda when our parents aren't looking," Kai said of her "normal" grandpa. "He always wants to know how we're doing in school. When I made the high honor roll, he printed it out to show his friends how proud he was of me."
But aside from Kai, Trump actually has several other grandchildren too. Who are they? Below, we give a brief rundown on Trump's grandkids.

Donald Trump's granddaughter Kai said the media makes him seem like "a different person."
During her speech at the RNC on July 17, 2024, in Milwaukee, Kai shared some sweet anecdotes about her grandpa, including how they bond over golf.
"He calls me driving the middle of the school day to ask how my golf game is going and tells me all about his, but then I have to remind him that I'm in school and I'll have to call him back later," Kai said.
"When we play golf together, if I'm not on his team, he'll try to get inside my head," she added. "And he's always surprised that I don't let him get to me. But I have to remind him: I'm a Trump too."
Kai also said that even with all the court battles her grandpa has been facing, he still takes the time to ask how she's doing, and encourages her to be her best, most successful self. "He sets the bar pretty high, but who knows, maybe one day I'll catch him," she said.
Kai mentioned that she was shocked and heartbroken to hear about the assassination attempt on her grandpa, noting that "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," she said. "The media makes my grandpa seem like a different person, but I know him for who he is: he's vary caring and loving, he truly wants the best for this country, and he will fight every single day to make America great again."
