Donald Trump’s Granddaughter Kai Trump, 17, Shares New Photos from Inauguration Day
The photos the 17-year-old shared from the 2025 Inauguration Day showcased the strong family bonds within the Trump family.
Kai Trump shared a collage of pictures from President Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day on January 20, 2025, in Washington, DC. Fans particularly admired the mother-daughter pictures and couldn’t help but point out how much she resembled her aunt, Ivanka Trump.
Most of the photos Kai posted were from the inauguration ball, where she dazzled in an elegant gown. However, some images were captured at the main inauguration event before the ball, including one where she took a mirror selfie before changing into her gown.
Another standout picture featured Kai Trump sharing an embrace with her grandfather, the 47th president of the US. In the heartfelt moment, Kai looked proudly at Donald, as she celebrated the historic occasion.
Fans also noticed a striking snapshot of Kai alongside her aunt, Ivanka Trump, and pointed out how their features mirrored each other. Additionally, they noted the resemblance between Kai and her mother, Vanessa Kay Haydon Trump, making it clear how strong the family traits run.
One person gushed, “You inherited your mom’s beauty ♥️♥️” while another echoed a similar sentiment, “You are your Mama’s twin ❤️.” More fans also said Kai and her mom had similar features, “You look so much like your beautiful mom ♥️,” and another adding, “Beautiful and classy like your mom!!! ♥️. Love your family. You make an amazing role model for kids.”
A supporter was quick to affirm, “Kai is her mother’s daughter! Lovely ladies.” Another admirer appreciated their striking similarities, “Kai your Mom is so very beautiful 🙏🏼 you two look like sisters ❤️❤️.”
Beyond her mother, some fans focused on Ivanka. One person observed, “Ivanka and Kai look so much alike!!🥰 🇺🇸,” while another noted, “You look more like sisters than aunt/niece”. Someone else remarked, “Wow you look like your auntie, so many features. Stunning”.
Kai also posed for pictures with her dad, Donald Trump Jr. A shot before the inauguration ceremony shows them smiling at each other as they share in the special moment.
Later at the inauguration ball, memorable moments, including a touching father-daughter dance, captured the bond between Kai and her dad. The two had broad smiles, in this post, which Kai captioned, “Moments from DC.”
Kai is the first grandchild of Donald Trump’s 10 grandchildren. He was elated when she was born in May 2007, saying, “The baby is really beautiful. I’ve never seen such a head of hair on a baby in my entire life. Just an absolutely beautiful baby, and healthy and happy, so I’m thrilled.” Kai’s parents Donald Jr. and Vanessa share four other kids. They were married in 2005 and divorced in 2018.
Today, Kai has grown into a gorgeous teenager pursuing her dreams. She has always had a deep passion for golf, which has been a significant part of her life. Kai’s introduction to golf came naturally, as her family has always been involved in the sport, owning golf courses. Initially, she played both tennis and golf, but as her skills in golf developed, she decided to focus solely on it.
In a Q&A video on YouTube, when asked who is better at golf between her and her grandfather, she respectfully declined to choose. Kai acknowledged her admiration for Donald and stated that it depends on the day. She even jokingly suggested a challenge between them, offering a glimpse into their friendly competition.
The golfer is currently a freshman at the Benjamin School in Jupiter Florida. Her personal statement on the school’s website reads, “I have been playing golf for thirteen years. This was my second year playing for my high school’s varsity team and my first year as team captain.”
Alongside her dedication to the sport, she is actively involved in three clubs at her school, where she strives to excel both academically and athletically. In addition to her commitment to her goals, she aspires to be a leader and a positive influence, both on and off the golf course. Looking ahead, Kai aims to continue her athletic career at the college level.
She carefully chose the University of Miami after a stressful process of researching and narrowing down her college options. Her decision was influenced by a desire to stay close to her family, who also owns golf courses in the Miami area.

The golfer believes it’s important for young athletes to start talking to coaches as early as age 15 even if their response isn’t immediate. In college, she plans to major in business. However, she once considered becoming a doctor but her fear of blood and needles steered her away from that path.
When Kai chose the University of Miami, she posted her verbal commitment on Instagram, writing, “I would like to thank my mom, Vanessa, and my dad, Don, for always supporting me through my journey. I would also like to thank my great team for getting me to this point.”
Kai also thanked her grandpa for providing access to excellent courses and always being there for her. She also appreciated her “Mormor” for her unwavering belief in her. The golfer acknowledged her whole family for their constant encouragement and their role in motivating her to be the best version of herself.
She extended her thanks to her friends for their continuous support. Finally, she expressed her heartfelt appreciation to Coaches Janice and Jim for giving her the opportunity to pursue her goals. “I am supper excited to be a cane and represent the University of Miami. Gooo Canes! 🧡 [sic],” she concluded.
The future is brimming with endless possibilities for Kai. Donald’s granddaughter is ready to seize every opportunity that comes her way in business and sports with the support of her family.
