Meet Donald Trump's 10 grandchildren, from college-bound Kai to 5-year-old Carolina

Donald J. Trump’s children have often joined him in his entrepreneurial and political ventures, and now some of his grandchildren helping cheer on their grandfather as he participates in the 2024 presidential race.

Trump has five children and 10 young grandchildren, ranging in age from 5 to 17 years old.

“I’m speaking today to share the side of my grandpa that people don’t often see," said his eldest granddaughter, Kai Madison Trump, 17, at the 2024 Republican National Convention. "To me, he’s just a normal grandpa."

Appearing to be relatively comfortable at the major event, Kai continued, "He gives us candy and soda when our parents aren’t looking. He always wants to know how we’re doing in school.”

Her father, Donald Trump Jr., even shared a behind-the-scenes video of the two getting ready together before the convention.

"Kai, what do you think?" he said, smiling. "Getting makeup to make me look sexy like you."

"I think you look very beautiful," Kai said, holding her phone.

"I'm just excited for Kai's first speech," he said, adding, "She's going to crush it!"
