Donald Trump‘s 17-year-old granddaughter stole the show at the Republican National Convention, bringing the house down as she hinted at a future in politics.
Kai Trump told the huge crowd in Milwaukee, Wisconsin that she wanted to ‘share a side of my grandpa that people don’t often see,’ including how he secretly gives candy and soda to his grandchildren.
Donald Trump Jr. gave up some of his microphone time to allow his daughter to take over, explaining she had asked to address the convention in the wake of the assassination attempt on her grandfather.
‘On Saturday, I was shocked when I heard that he had been shot and I just wanted to know if he was OK,’ Kai 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 told thousands of cheering GOP delegates and party members. ‘Grandpa, you are such an inspiration and I love you.’
