    I knew it. As soon as I saw this young woman in the thumbnail, I said, “That’s got to be Donald Trump Jr.’s daughter. She looks exactly like him.”. LOL

    Shame on everyone who writes these cruel messages about an young girl standing on a stage in front of a huge crowd telling them what she thinks about her grandpa and how much she loves him. Bullies. Whatever your political view, no need to be so cruel. Leave your sick comments for another speech. As an Aussie/South African, you should be ashamed of your behavior. Decent people, no matter your political views, won’t write these terrible comments. It’s inhumane, cruel and embarrassing for the party you support. My assumption is democrats, but would say exactly the same if it was the other party. But lately the democrats seem to get more hateful and cruel by the day.

    I’m so glad his eldest granddaughter gave her speech to express how her grandfather Trump is like so America sees him as a family man and lived by his family. Trump will make American great again and safe for our children. Her speech was genuine. Great speech

  • What an amazing & beautiful young woman. I can see why your Grandaddy is so proud of you. He also wants to ensure America is safe for you & your children. He is in our prayers along with the rest of your precious family. You did a fabulous job.

    That was the best, most honest, from the heart political speech I've ever heard. I had to watch it twice.
  • It must be hard to be 17 years old and give a speech at a convention of this magnitude. God bless her and Trump's family and hope for future success. (And ignore the haters in comments below).

    I'm a lefty but shes so cute. What a darling speech. Beautiful child.
  • TRUMP was absolutely beaming with pride and adoration as Kai was speaking. You could feel his genuine LOVE ❤️❤️❤️

    I wonder if she knows how much he loves furry cats.
