Whoopi Goldberg attacks Kai Trump’s rousing RNC speech about grandfather Donald – urging viewers ‘not to fall for it’
Whoopi Goldberg didn’t hold back when she shared her thoughts on Kai Trump’s speech at the Republican National Convention (RNC), urging voters to “not fall for it.”
Donald Trump’s 17-year-old granddaughter took the stage Wednesday night and told viewers he was “just a normal grandpa.”
However, the 68-year-old host of The View criticized the teenager’s poignant speech, saying it was a ploy to “humanize” Trump, especially after Saturday’s assassination attempt.
‘I know his grandchild was there and they’re trying to humanize it. [Trump] and change your idea of ββwho this man is,” Whoopi said on Thursday’s episode of the ABC talk show.
“Don’t fall for that.”

Kai, the daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and his ex-wife Vanessa, took the stage at the third night of the RNC in Milwaukee.
She alleged that the media deliberately demonized her grandfather, a common rhetoric used by the former president.
“The media makes my grandpa seem like a different person, but I know him for who he is. He’s very caring and loving, he really wants the best for this country,” the teenager said.
Kai, Trump’s eldest grandson, described him as “just a normal grandpa.”
βHe gives us candy and soda when our parents aren’t looking,β she said.
“He always wants to know how things are going at school. When I was on the honor roll, he printed it out for his friends, how proud he was of me.”
She then commented on Saturday’s assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, calling Trump an “inspiration.”
“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.”

Even before Kai’s star turn at the RNC convention, she had already built a large online following based on her reputation as perhaps the best golfer in the Trump clan.
Kai is also living out every aspiring golfer’s dream, most recently playing with US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau. As a little girl, she took a photo on the golf course with her grandfather and Tiger Woods
The View host also emphasized her position that President Joe Biden is fit to run for re-election.
“I don’t care how old you are,” she said passionately. “I don’t care if you can’t put two sentences together. If you get the job done, I’m going to follow you, because that’s what I’m looking for.”
Kai’s parents were married for 13 years before divorcing in 2018.
She is the eldest of Donald Jr. and Vanessa’s five children, including Donald III, Tristan, Spencer, and Chloe.
Kai is a year younger than her uncle, Barron Trump, who recently appeared with his father at a July 9 campaign rally in Doral, Florida.
Even before Kai’s star turn at the RNC, she had already built a large online following based on her reputation as perhaps the best golfer in the Trump clan.
In March, Kai won the women’s club championship at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.
Her impressive swing, nearly 260-yard drive, and dedication to the sport landed her the position of Varsity Captain at The Benjamin School, a prestigious high school in North Palm Beach with an annual income of $37,000. She is expected to graduate in 2026.
The enthusiastic sportswoman regularly writes online about her personal training sessions and intensive gym routines.
She is said to be being recruited to play at the college level and her goal, she says, is to turn pro.
