Whoopi Goldberg didn’t hold back when sharing her thoughts about Kai Trump’s Republican National Convention (RNC) speech, urging voters ‘not to fall for it.’
Donald Trump’s 17-year-old granddaughter took to the stage on Wednesday night, telling viewers he was ‘just a normal grandpa.’
However the 68-year-old host of The View called out the teen’s stirring speech; arguing it was a trick to ‘humanize’ Trump – particularly after Saturday’s assassination attempt.
‘I know his grandchild was up on the thing and they’re trying to humanize [Trump] and change your idea about who this guy is,’ Whoopi Goldberg said on Thursday’s episode of the ABC talk show.
‘Don’t fall for that.’
Kai, who is the daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and his ex-wife, Vanessa, took the stage on the third night of the RNC in Milwaukee.
She argued the media was purposely demonizing her grandfather – a common rhetoric pushed by the former president.
‘The media makes my grandpa seem like a different person, but I know him for who he is. He’s very caring and loving, he truly wants the best for this country,’ the teen said.
Kai, who is the eldest grandchild of Trump, described him as ‘just a normal grandpa.’
‘He gives us candy and soda when our parents are not looking,’ she said.
‘He always wants to know how we’re doing in school. When I made the high honor roll, he printed it out to his friends how proud he was of me.’
She then commented on the Saturday’s attempted assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, calling Trump an ‘inspiration.’
‘A lot of people have put my grandpa through hell, and he’s still standing,’ she told thousands of cheering GOP delegates. ‘Grandpa, you are such an inspiration and I love you.’
The View host also doubled down on her stance that President Joe Biden is fit to run for reelection.
‘I don’t care how old you are,’ she said passionately. ‘I don’t care if you can’t put two sentences together. If you get the job done, then I’m gonna follow you because that’s what I’m looking for.’
Kai’s parents were married for 13 years before they got divorced in 2018.
She is the oldest of Donald Jr. and Vanessa’s five children, which include Donald III, Tristan, Spencer and Chloe.
Kai is a year younger than her uncle, Barron Trump, who recently appeared with his father at a July 9 campaign rally in Doral, Florida.
Even before Kai’s star turn at the RNC, she had built a large online following based on her reputation as, perhaps, the best golfer in the Trump clan.
In March, Kai won the ladies’ club championship at Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach.
Her impressive swing, nearly 260-yard drive and dedication to the sport helped earn her the Varsity Captain position at the Benjamin School, a prestigious $37,000-per-year high school in North Palm Beach, from which she is set to graduate in 2026.
The avid sportswoman frequently chronicles her personal training sessions and rigorous gym routines online.
She is reportedly being recruited to play at the collegiate level and her goal, she says, is to go pro.
