Donald Trump’s 17-year-old granddaughter, Kai Madison Trump, announced her college commitment on Sunday.
The granddaughter of the 45th president of the United States first entered the public eye earlier this summer, when she spoke at the Republican National Convention.
“To me, he’s just a normal grandpa. He gives us candy and soda when our parents aren’t looking, he always wants to know how we’re doing in school,” Kai Madison Trump, the oldest of Donald Trump’s 10 grandchildren, said at the RNC.
“When I made the high honor roll, he printed it out to show his friends how proud he was of me.”
“He calls me during 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 back later.”
Sunday evening, Kai Madison Trump announced her college commitment – she’s playing golf at The U.
“I am beyond excited to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Miami. 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. I would like to thank my Grandpa for giving me access to great courses and tremendous support,” she wrote.
“I would also like to thank my Mormor for always believing in me. I would also like to thank my entire family for always encouraging and pushing me to be the best person I can possibly be. I would like to thank my friends for always cheering me on. Last but not least I would love to thank Coach Janice and Coach Jim for giving me this opportunity. I am supper excited to be a cane and represent the University of Miami. Gooo Canes!”
The U appears to be excited. They shared Trump’s commitment announcement on Instagram.

The granddaughter of the former United States president is an excellent golfer, which shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise, given Donald’s connections in the golf world.
Congrats on the big-time commitment.
