Kai Trump posts viral behind-the-scenes inauguration video: ‘My grandfather became president again’

Kai Madison Trump, daughter of Donald Trump Jr., got nearly 27 million combined views on TikTok and YouTube after posting a vlog of her grandfather’s historic inauguration day.

In the 14-minute YouTube video, the 17-year-old is seen getting ready for the day with a hair and makeup team before heading to a church service.

Kai munched on Red Bull and cookies she picked up inside the Capitol building as she joked with her dad ahead of the ceremony.

Although she was not allowed to film the event, she included a number of clips.

The family got ready for the Liberty Inauguration Ball, where Kai stunned in a silver sequined Sherri Hill gown.

“My favorite part of this dress is the corset part because it just makes it look really flattering,” she said, twirling for the camera. “I also love all the diamonds and silver things. I think it looks really nice on my skin tone.”

The dress designer is linked in the teenager’s video description, but it’s unclear if they have a business relationship. Fox News Digital requested comment.

Kai and her family then stopped by the White House to see President Trump enter through a side door.

Framed pictures in the White House hallways displayed art of the newly sworn-in president.

The family took photos in front of the fireplace in the iconic Diplomatic Reception Room.

She then showed her 806,000 subscribers the green, blue and red rooms — a set of three salons named after their color schemes.

“By the way, welcome to the White House,” she told viewers.

They arrived at the ball, where she expressed anxiety about dancing with her father in front of a crowd. The nerves seemed to subside as the family made a number of other appearances.

She arrived at her hotel around 01.00, ready to rest before she headed out of the nation’s capital the next morning.

In less than a day, the video collected almost 1.5 million views and 83,000 likes on YouTube.
