Trump granddaughter Kai shares challenges of first week at University of Miami
Kai Trump, 19, posted a YouTube vlog describing her emotional adjustment to college, a brief illness and support from friends.
President Donald Trump's granddaughter, Kai Trump, documented her initial week at the University of Miami in a YouTube vlog. The 19-year-old freshman recorded her departure from her home in Jupiter, Florida, expressing sadness about leaving friends and family. > "It's just really sad that I have to say goodbye to everyone today," she said, adding that saying goodbye was difficult for her.
She also showed her new Miami apartment and her participation in golf practice and classes. A friend, Emma, visited and delivered pre-cooked meals, noting that Kai had been surviving mainly on diet sodas. > "She’s living off of diet sodas, so I got her fruit and prosciutto and we got her some pasta and bread and stuff, like basic foods," Emma said.
Kai's stay on campus was interrupted when she contracted strep throat and returned home for care. > "I got sick with Strep on Wednesday, my first week of school. I came all the way back to Jupiter because I was so sick I needed my mom to nurse me back to health," she explained.
The student, who has played golf for more than 13 years, described the sport as her biggest passion and said she aims to be a positive role model on and off the course. She is one of five children of Vanessa and Donald Trump Jr., who divorced in 2018 but continue to co-parent.
