00:00How much you like golf? I love golf, you know? I mean, I've been playing golf since I was two
00:04years old pretty much, or started when I was two years old, and now it's become a huge part of my
00:09life. We used to have contests to the pin, right? Yes, always, and you beat me. We always had good
00:15contests, right? Even as a young girl, I knew you were going to be a great golfer. To kick
00:20off her new YouTube vlog series, One on One with Kai, Donald Trump's granddaughter, Kai Trump,
00:26gave a rare glimpse of the pair's close bond by filming their private golf session. In the video,
00:32which has already garnered almost 1.7 million views, the golf duo discussed life, politics,
00:38and sports while they played a game of best ball at the president's golf course, Trump International,
00:44in Washington, D.C. Kai wrote on Instagram that the video, titled Playing Golf with President Donald
00:50Trump, My Grandpa, was her favorite video I have filmed so far and holds a lot of
00:56meaning to me. And YouTube viewers also shared their affinity for the lighthearted video.
01:01It's so cool to see the president as just grandpa here. Trump's respect for her, as well as their
01:06friendship, is quite humanizing. Kai, this was a great use of your platform. Politics aside,
01:12you helped humanize a historical person that's unreachable by most. Well done.
01:18Trump, who sported a MAGA hat, was complimentary of Kai's swing,
01:22as he drove his presidential golf cart during the one-hour session.
01:29That's big length, you know. That's big length, honey. That's good.
01:36All while Kai, the 18-year-old who's heading to University of Miami next year,
01:41peppered the president with questions. Is there a dream that you're still trying to chase,
01:45or have you reached all your dreams? You were asking questions like you're a television
01:50company. I thought I was just going to come out and play a round of golf with you.
01:55You're asking questions like I'm on television.
01:59Yeah, no, look, you become president. That's a dream, right?
02:01Yeah.
02:03Now you dream that you want to be a great president.
02:06Yeah.
02:06Now you're president. Now your dream is to be a great president.
02:10I think you're doing a pretty good job.
02:12Trump even gave an update on his youngest son Barron's progress at New York University,
02:17shortly before the first son started his sophomore year at a satellite campus in Washington, D.C.
02:23How's Barron doing at NYU?
02:25He's doing good. He's a good boy. He loves you. He said,
02:28say hello to Kai, Dad. I said, Barron, why didn't you come out and watch?
02:32Yeah.
02:32He said, you know, he's so cute.
02:36Do they start school again?
02:37Yeah, he starts on a Tuesday.
02:38Very nice.
02:39He's a good boy.
02:40He is.
02:41At one point in the video, Kai even pointed out her grandfather's vast security detail
02:46on the course, after several notable attempts on the president's life.
02:50The security is all down the line.
02:52It's smart.
02:53A lot of us, a lot of us.
02:54You had too many close calls.
02:56Let's go over here.
02:58I had some close calls.
03:00That's true, honey.
03:02Kai has accumulated a massive social media following, including 3.4 million TikTok followers,
03:082.4 million on Instagram, and 899,000 followers on X.
03:13She also regularly posts on her YouTube channel, which has garnered almost 1.3 million subscribers.
03:19Kai is the president's eldest grandchild and the daughter of his son, Donald Trump Jr.,
03:24and ex-wife, Vanessa Trump.
03:26The post confirmed in March that Vanessa is dating golf legend Tiger Woods.
03:30Kai has also used the White House as the backdrop to launch her own merch,
03:35and to also get a couple swings in on the White House's putting green.
03:44When they aren't hitting the green for themselves,
03:46the president and his granddaughter have also been spotted watching the game,
