The 17-year-old is well aware she's gotten a chance to play at once-in-a-lifetime golf courses throughout her young career, and she thanked her grandfather for that.

"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 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.

"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," Trump's granddaughter told a raucous crowd in Milwaukee.

"On Saturday, I was shocked when I heard that he has been shot, and I just wanted to know if he was OK," she said, describing the events after the attempted assassination of the former president.

"A lot of people have put my Grandpa through hell, and he's still standing," the teenager added.

"Grandpa, you are such an inspiration and I love you," Kai said. "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 truly wants the best for this country. And he will fight every single day to make America great again. Thank you very much."

Kai took to Instagram to express her admiration for her grandfather's unwavering will to wrangle the U.S. political system for the people. She wrote, "We love you Grandpa. Never stop fighting!"
