Kai Trump, former president's oldest grandchild, speaks before father, Donald Trump Jr.
Donald Trump Jr. walked up to the podium at the Republican National Convention Wednesday, but turned the microphone over to his 17-year-old daughter, Kai.
Trump is the eldest of the former president's 10 grandchildren.
She called him "just a normal grandpa."
"He gives us candy and soda when our parents aren't looking," she said.
"He calls me during 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 will have to call him back later," she said. "When we play golf together, if I'm not on his team, he will try to get inside of my head. And he is always surprised that I don't let him get to me. But I have to remind him, I'm a Trump, too."
Kai addressed Trump's legal troubles, saying, "Even when he is going through all of these court cases, he always asks me how I'm doing."
She also addressed Trump's assassination attempt.
"On Saturday I was shocked when I heard that he has been shot," she said. "It was heartbreaking that someone would do that to another person.
"A lot of people have put my grandpa through hell, and he's still standing," she said.
Someone in the crowd yelled, "Kai 2040."
Over the weekend, she posted a photo of the former president pumping his fist after being shot at his Pennsylvania campaign rally, writing: "We love you Grandpa. Never stop fighting!"
