Donald Trump is known for his larger-than-life presence on the political stage, but a recent glimpse into his private life reveals a softer, more relatable side. In a golf vlog posted by his granddaughter Kai Trump, viewers were treated to a series of endearing voicemails that Trump leaves for her-often late at night, long after most people have gone to bed. These messages, filled with playful banter and genuine interest in Kai’s life, show a man who, despite the demands of public office and business, still makes time for family.
Kai shared that her grandfather’s voicemails typically start with his signature humor, introducing himself as “your favorite president” before launching into questions about her golf game and school. The lighthearted exchanges don’t stop there; Trump and Kai have a friendly rivalry on the golf course, with both eager to boast about their scores. During her latest round at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, Kai finished 4-under par and called her grandfather to gloat, only for Trump to respond with his own playful bragging about his golf skills.
These moments go beyond politics, highlighting the universal joys of family connection. Trump’s pride in Kai’s achievements-whether academic or athletic-is evident, and he doesn’t hesitate to shower her with the kind of encouragement every grandparent offers. The tradition of sneaking treats and sharing inside jokes is alive and well, even in the Trump family, reminding us that some things transcend even the highest office in the land.
For supporters, this peek behind the curtain reinforces what they’ve long believed: Trump’s dedication to his family is as steadfast as his commitment to his country. The warmth in his late-night calls and the camaraderie on the golf course paint a picture of a grandfather who relishes his role, cherishing the small victories and everyday milestones of his grandchildren.
In a world where headlines often focus on the controversies and clashes of public life, these stories of family connection offer a refreshing reminder that even the most public figures are, at their core, just people. For Trump, the role of “Grandpa” is one he embraces with the same energy and enthusiasm that he brings to every other aspect of his life-a testament to the enduring importance of family, no matter how big the stage.
