“I would also like to thank my entire family for always encouraging me and pushing me to be the best person I can be. I would like to thank my friends for always cheering me on.

“He calls me in the middle of the school day to ask how my golf game is going and tells me all about his, but then I have to remind him that I'm in school and I'll have to call him later,” Trump's granddaughter told a raucous crowd in Milwaukee.
“I was shocked on Saturday when I heard he had been shot and I just wanted to know if he was OK,” she said, describing the events following the attempted assassination of the former president.
“A lot of people put my grandfather through hell, and he's still standing,” the teenager added.
“Grandpa, you are such an inspiration and I love you,” Kai said. “The media makes my grandpa seem like a different person, but I know him for who he is. He is so caring and loving. He truly wants the best for this country and will fight every day to make America great again. Thank you so much.”
