In a YouTube video titled “My life is about to change forever,” Kai admitted she’s “excited” to be more involved in her grandfather’s second term, before promising to give her viewers a behind-the-scenes look inside the White House while she is there for the inauguration.

While it is currently unclear which of Trump’s family members will be in attendance on his big day, it is believed that all of his children will be in attendance, as well as several grandchildren, including Kai, who is the eldest of Don Jr.’s five children.

And while Kai spent a good amount of time at 1600 hrs Pennsylvania Ave. in her grandfather’s first term, she notes that this time will be different, not least because she is older and has taken a more active role in his political career in recent years.

“I’m really happy that he won, of course,” she says in the clip, before later adding, “For America, and I think for our family, I think it’s just so important that he won. I think , that the next four years are going to be the best four years America has had in a very long time. I’m so happy for him inside. I’m so happy that our family is getting this again.”

But the pressure of traveling to DC for such a big political event wasn’t without stress, she admitted, explaining that trying to balance her student commitments and her training on the golf course with her preparations for the big day was a little difficult. .

Kai films herself behind the wheel of her car and admits that she left school halfway through the day because she had to tackle her to-do list for the inauguration – starting with finding an outfit.

“I’m kind of stressed that I didn’t pick up an outfit ahead of time, and now I’m like, ‘Oh! Last minute, I have to go to the dry cleaners,'” she said.

Kai will join some of the most high-profile and powerful people in the world at the event, which will include former presidents including Barack Obama, Bill Clintonand George W. Bushas well as celebrities. Joining their husbands will be Laura Bush and former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. However, Michelle Obama will not be present, her spokesperson confirmed ahead of the big day.

In a YouTube video with captions, "My life is about to change forever," Kai admitted that she is 'excited' to be more involved in her grandfather's second term and that she wanted to give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the White House on the special day.

While the thought of traveling to the White House and attending the event may be daunting for some, Kai notes that she feels nothing but excitement — even detailing her plans to film a vlog that she can later share with her followers for to give them a glimpse of what the ceremony is really like.

“I can’t give too many details, but we will try to capture as many moments as possible for my channel,” she says in her latest video. “It will be really, really cool and a fantastic experience. I’m so glad I get to film it and look back on it in the future, especially as I get older. I can look at it as a reference.

“Maybe we’ll get a little tour of the White House, so if you guys want to see it, it’ll be a lot of fun.”

Kai has certainly had her share of experiences with iconic properties – not least her grandfather’s huge Mar-a-Lago estate, where she regularly goes to play golf.

Mar-a-Lago was originally built between 1924 and 1927 on land that was once nothing more than a swamp. It was ordered by Kornarving Marjorie Merriweather Post.

Today the property has 58 bedrooms, 33 bathrooms and three bomb shelters. Other very lavish amenities include a 1,800-square-foot living room, a private theater and a nine-hole golf course.

It was bought by Trump in 1985 for just $10 million. He immediately set about renovating several areas, adding a putting green, a tennis court, a salon and health club, and a spa. He opened areas of the estate to the public as a private club in 1995.

By comparison, the White House boasts 132 rooms, 16 of which are bedrooms and 35 of which are bathrooms. However, it also includes a dentist’s office, home theater, bowling alley, swimming pool, jogging track and putting green, which Kai will no doubt use once her grandfather has settled back into the home.

Although it will be a change, Kai is sure to adjust to his new home, which boasts 132 rooms, 35 bathrooms, a dentist's office, movie theater, bowling alley, swimming pool, jogging track and putting green.

As for Kai’s own home, it is understood that she splits her time between her parents, Don Jr. and Vanessa, who split in 2017 after 13 years of marriage. Soon after, Don Jr. began to date Kimberly Guilfoylewho took an active role in Trump’s first term and continued to be a very vocal supporter of his policies even after he left the White House.

Like the other Trump children, Don Jr. moved. and Guilfoyle to Florida after his loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential race, buying a lavish $9.7 million mansion in Jupiter, just a short drive from Mar-a-Lago.

The fate of that property is currently unclear, however, after rumors emerged that the couple had split – and that Don Jr. have already moved on with the socialite Bettina Andersen.

Interestingly, news of Trump Jr.’s alleged new romance emerged at the same time Guilfoyle was tapped for a new role in her once-future father-in-law’s administration: ambassador to Greece.

If Guilfoyle is confirmed, the position would require her to move overseas — leaving behind Trump Jr., their relationship and the mansion they bought together in March 2021.

The home — which property records indicate is in both their names — has six bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. It is located on a 1.18 hectare plot by the water.

According to the original listing, the home underwent a “massive update” before it was purchased by the Trump family and his partner. They have both been incredibly active in the president-elect’s campaign and are expected to retain key roles in his administration.
