Donald Trump Jr. praised his daughter Kai Trump as she attended her first Bitcoin convention with her mother Vanessa Trump at a rooftop party in Nashville.
The 17-year-old who stole the show at the Republican National Convention was watching her father speak to guests as he told the story of his desire to speak about his grandfather Donald Trump.
Her praise was met with applause as Kai’s mother grabbed her daughter’s hand and lifted her into the air in celebration.
Donald Trump Jr. gave up some of his time at the microphone at the Republican National Convention to allow his daughter to take over, explaining that she had asked to address the convention in the wake of the attempted assassination of her grandfather.
Kai won the hearts of MAGA supporters when she delivered what may have been the most emotional words of the evening: She was the first of the former president’s grandchildren to weigh in on the assassination attempt that could have ended his life.

The 17-year-old who stole the show at the Republican National Convention was watching her father speak to guests as he told the story of his desire to speak about his grandfather Donald Trump.
Her speech made her an overnight hit, with Google searches for the term “Kai Trump” skyrocketing at 10 p.m. Wednesday, moments after she spoke on the third night of the Republican National Convention.
“A lot of people put my grandfather through hell, and he’s still standing,” she told thousands of cheering Republican delegates. “Grandpa, you are such an inspiration and I love you.”
Kai’s father beamed with pride as she gushed about the side of President Trump that “people don’t often see.”
However, Donald Trump Jr. caused a stir after calling his teenage daughter Kai “sexy” in a social media post.
The former first son made these comments as he and Kai prepared for the Republican National Convention earlier this week.

In a clip posted to his TikTok page, Don Jr. can be seen in a makeup chair alongside his daughter.
“Kai, what do you think?” she asks as she turns the camera to show her waving. “Does putting makeup on make me look sexy like you?”
Kai gives a small smile and replies, “I think you look very beautiful.”
“Thanks Kai, I’m glad you think I look very handsome,” Don Jr. replies, before breaking into a huge smile.
“I don’t do this very often, but in HD it’s better to do it,” she adds as a makeup artist continues to finish her look.
“I’m so excited for Kai’s first speech, he picked a really big venue to perform in. He’s going to rock it. Love you, Kai.”
His daughter tells him that she loves him too while a makeup artist applies her lipstick.
But the clip, which has since been viewed millions of times, has sparked a backlash.
“We don’t actually want to call our daughters sexy. Hope this helps,” one person wrote.

“That sounds a little suspicious,” another added.
“I’m a Trump supporter, but I had to repeat this several times to convince myself it doesn’t sound bad, and I’m still not convinced,” one person said.
The responses also drew comparisons between Donald Trump’s comments about his daughter Ivanka.
He once said, during an appearance on The View in 2006, that he might be dating Ivanka if they weren’t related.
He has also previously called his daughter “voluptuous” and praised her body.
