Eagle-eyed fans have spotted something about President Donald Trump’s granddaughter Kai, after she and her granddad appeared at the Ryder Cup. 

The Trump pair turned up at Bethpage Black in New York ahead of the second round of matches, the fourballs. 

As the USA and Europe battled it out on the course, the internet noticed something very specific about the younger Trump in the stands. 

Kai Trump attended with her grandfather, Donald

Now, it’s no secret that Donald Trump is a golf fan, but you might be forgiven for not even knowing who Kai Trump is.

She’s the 18-year-old daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Haydon, and is often seen around the general Trump sphere.

She’s also got a YouTube channel and - would you believe it? - loves golf as well. 

She’s got a scratch handicap and is a talented player, much like her grandfather claims to be, and has played for her high school and won championships. 

On YouTube, she has 1.21m subscribers and often posts about her golfing adventures. 

However, that wasn’t what fans noticed about her.

Kai and Donald arrived at the course in style

The pair arrived at the course in New York State in style, and fans were treated to a rendition of the national anthem and a flyover before the second round of the day teed off. 

However, everyone was too busy looking at what Kai Trump was wearing, as she has just released her own apparel line and has now got it front and center at one of the biggest sporting events in the world. 


Incidentally, the range only launched on September 25 - coincidence?

Online, people were quick to notice it. 

One comment read: “Kai Trump already has her own merch. A true Trump!”

Another said: “Just noticed Kai Trump merch...very cool”

A third noticed the campaign photos: “Was trying to understand why Kai Trump is wearing her own initials only to realize she dropped merch with her own name and used the White House for the photoshoot?”

Someone else wrote: “Trump: Is that your new merch?

“Kai: Yes

“Trump: Come with me

“(Parades her in front of every important camera in the west)”

Both Trump family members will be hoping for a turnaround from the morning session at Bethpage, as Europe took the foursomes 3-1. 

There’s still a long way to go to decide who will take the Ryder Cup, with a result expected after the singles on Sunday.
