Donald Trump Jr. has asked teenagers to stay away from his 17-year-old daughter Kai after she was “attacked” by fans following his speech at the Republican National Convention.
The former president’s eldest granddaughter stole the show on Wednesday night’s programming when she took the stage to make brief comments about the “real” side of her grandfather Donald Trump.
Fox News host Laura Ingraham said Kai is now “unleashed” into the world and has been surrounded by children and fans since her comments, a fact her father didn’t seem too happy to hear.
“By the way, I’m told your daughter was just invaded in this compound by some teenagers,” Ingraham said Thursday.
Don Jr. interrupted, “Get away, you little fuckers, and stay away.”
Donald Trump Jr. wants to keep teenagers away from his 17-year-old daughter Kai after his first comments on a national stage Wednesday
Kai Trump took his first step into the world of politics with his brief remarks before thousands of Republican delegates, party members and MAGA fans.
It was the first time a grandson of Trump took the stage to comment on the former president.
“He always encourages me to be the most successful person I can be,” Kai said of his grandfather. “Obviously, he sets the bar really high. But who knows, maybe one day I’ll reach it.”
The comment sparked speculation that he could lead the Trump political dynasty into a third generation.
She told Fox News on Thursday that she was “nervous” about the comments, but that Trump was “proud.”
Speaking at the Fiserv Forum on Wednesday, the avid golfer described how she and her grandfather talk about her game. When they play, he tries to “get in my head,” but forgets that “I’m a Trump, too,” Kai said with a laugh.
She continued: “The media makes my grandfather seem like a different person, but I know him as he is. He is very caring and loving.”
“He truly wants the best for this country and will fight every day to make America great again.”
The day after her speech, Kai’s father talked about how to protect herself from male attention now that she’s in the spotlight.
“You’ve unleashed the male; she had a huge fan club,” Ingraham told Don Jr. “She’s trending on the Internet more than you. Is she eclipsing her father right now?”
“They had to close part of the stadium because there were so many people following her. So now you’ve introduced her to the world.”
Trump’s eldest son responded: “I might regret picking up the phone and saying, ‘Yeah, sure, you can talk there.’ But I had to do it for her because she needed to do it for her grandfather.”
“Get away, you little bastards, and stay away,” Don Jr. jokes after Fox News host Laura Ingraham mentions how teenagers and MAGA fans have “swarmed” Kai since his speech.
Kai’s brief remarks stole the show Wednesday night at the Republican Convention, where he wanted to share the “real” side of his grandfather Donald Trump.
Don Jr. watches as the former president’s eldest daughter and granddaughter makes her first foray onto a national political stage.
Kai walked onto the stage after being introduced by her father.
“Before I begin my remarks, I’m going to do something unusual: a Trump is going to put down the microphone. It doesn’t happen often, we may not see it again,” he said.
“But on Monday morning, I got a call from a young woman who said, ‘Dad, I want to speak at the Republican National Convention because I want America to know what my grandfather is really like. ‘ So for the first time in my life, for the first time in my life giving a speech, I want to bring my oldest daughter and the oldest granddaughter of your favorite president, Kai Madison Trump, to the forefront.”
