The world of celebrity granddaughters just got a tad more comical. Kai Trump, the 17-year-old granddaughter of former President Donald Trump, took the internet for a spin with a cringe-worthy tale about one of her many run-ins with her grandfather. In a video titled “Get To Know Me Better,” she let fans in on what she claims is her “most embarrassing moment ever.” Spoiler alert: it involves golf, awkward compliments, and a touch of teenage mortification.
In this illuminating moment, young Kai reminisced about a golfing outing with one of her guy friends. The only twist? This particular friend couldn’t resist the urge to remark on how “handsome” her grandfather appeared, throwing her into a whirlpool of teenage embarrassment. Anyone with a glimpse of common sense would know that mixing family and romantic interests can sometimes lead to ice-cold awkwardness. It’s difficult to imagine a more cringeworthy situation—except perhaps if this friend attempted to matchmake on the spot, which thankfully did not happen.
Of course, Kai then decided to double down on her embarrassment as she revealed that her grandfather’s opinions on her male friends didn’t stop with just one encounter. She recounted a second encounter that she deemed “kind of embarrassing.” Instead of elaborating on the details—presumably to spare viewers from more cringe—she skillfully maneuvered her way back to the safety of viewer questions, easing the tension like a seasoned politician avoiding a controversial topic.
The curious naturally wonder if this level of awkwardness is par for the course when hanging out with someone who is not only a billionaire but also a former U.S. president. Perhaps there should be a “warning label” for grandkids playing golf with Donald Trump—a sort of: “Enter at your own risk: Awkward compliments may ensue.”

Amidst the embarrassment and giggles, Kai took a moment to express some heartfelt gratitude for her grandfather’s guidance. She praised his “never give up” ethos, a mantra she credits for shaping her dreams. While this is a sentiment anyone can get behind, it’s amplified when the advice comes from the man who defied political odds and took the Oval Office by storm yet again. Dreams do come true—just ask Kai, whose grandfather is on the verge of another presidential campaign run.
Despite the cringe-worthy moments and a celebrity crush on Drew Starkey from “Outer Banks,” it appears that Kai is navigating the waters with humor and grace. And while she may still cringe at her golf outings with the former president, there’s no doubt that Donald Trump is anything but boring. Welcome to the life of a Trump, where awkward moments are just the price of admission for being part of one of America’s most famous families.
