Internet in uproar as Donald Trump Jr. is seen on camera calling his teenage daughter Kai ‘sexy’
Donald Trump Jr. has caused a stir after calling his teenage daughter Kai “sexy.”
The former First Son made the comments as he and Kai, 17, were preparing for the Republican Party Convention earlier this week.
In a clip he posted to his TikTok page, Don Jr. can be seen in a makeup chair next to his daughter.
“Kai, what do you think?” he asks, panning the camera to show her waving. “If I wear makeup, I look as sexy as you do?”
Kai smiles briefly and replies, “I think you look very beautiful.”
“Thank you Kai, I’m glad you think I look beautiful,” Don Jr. replies, grinning widely.
“I don’t do this very often, but in HD you can do it better,” he adds as a makeup artist finishes his look.
“I’m just excited about Kai’s first speech, where she picked a really big location to come to. She’s going to crush it – I love you Kai.”
His daughter replies that she loves him too, like a make-up artist applying her lipstick.
But the clip, which has been viewed 7.8 million times since it was published on Thursday, has drawn widespread criticism.
“We really don’t want to call our daughters sexy, I hope this helps,” one person wrote.

The comments came as the father and daughter prepared to appear at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee

“That sounds pretty suspicious,” added another.
“I am a Trump supporter, but I had to replay this story several times to convince myself that it doesn’t sound wrong, and I’m still not convinced,” one person said.
The comments also drew comparisons to Donald Trump’s comments about his daughter Ivanka.
He once said during a 2006 appearance on The View that he might date Ivanka if they weren’t related.
He previously called his daughter “lusty” and praised her body.
The TikTok video was filmed just before Kai took the stage at the event in Milwaukee, where her grandfather officially accepted the Republican nomination.

The high school student made her debut with a heartfelt speech in which she became the first of the former president’s grandchildren to share her thoughts on the attempted assassination that nearly cost him his life.
“A lot of people put my grandpa through hell, and he’s still standing,” she told thousands of cheering GOP delegates. “Grandpa, you’re such an inspiration, and I love you.”
Her emotional comments made her an instant hit, with Google searches for the term “Kai Trump” skyrocketing at 10 p.m. Wednesday night, shortly after she spoke on the third night of the RNC.
