Donald Trump Jr. told teenage boys to stay away from his 17-year-old daughter Kai after she was “surrounded” by fans following her speech at the Republican National Convention.
The former president’s eldest granddaughter stole the show Wednesday night when she took the stage for a brief speech about the “real” side of her grandfather Donald Trump.
Fox News host Laura Ingraham said Kai has now been “unleashed” on the world and is surrounded by boys and fans since her comments – something her father didn’t seem too happy about.
“By the way, I heard that your daughter was just attacked in this arena by teenage boys,” Ingraham said Thursday.
Don Jr. interrupted him with, “Go away, you little bastards, and stay out of my way.”
Donald Trump Jr. wants to fend off teenage boys who ‘swarm’ daughter Kai, 17, after her first comments on a national stage Wednesday
Kai Trump took her first steps into the world of politics with her short speeches to thousands of GOP delegates, party members and MAGA fanatics.
It marked the first time that a grandchild of Trump took the stage to deliver a speech for the former president.
“He always pushes me to be the most successful person I can be,” Kai said of her grandfather. “Of course, he sets the bar pretty high. But who knows, maybe one day I’ll catch up to him.”
The comment led to speculation that she could lead Trump’s political dynasty into a third generation.
On Thursday, she told Fox News she was “nervous” about the comments, but that Trump was “proud.”
Speaking at Fiserv Forum on Wednesday, the avid golfer described how she and her grandfather discuss their game. When they play, he tries to “get inside my head” but forgets that “I’m a Trump, too,” Kai said, laughing.
She continued: ‘The media makes my grandfather seem like a different person, but I know him for who he is. He is very caring and loving.’
“He truly wants the best for this country and he will fight every day to make America great again.”
The day after her speech, Kai’s father told him to avoid male attention now that she’s in the spotlight.
“You let the man go – she had a huge fan base,” Ingraham told Don Jr. “She’s trending more on the Internet than you are. She’s outshining her father on this?”
“They had to close off part of the arena because there were so many people following her. So you’ve introduced her to the world now.”
Trump’s eldest child responded, “I might regret picking up the phone and saying, ‘Sure, you can talk to me there.’ But I had to do that for her, because she had to do that for her grandfather.”

Kai entered the stage after being introduced by her father.
“Before I begin my remarks, I’m going to do something that’s not very typical: a Trump is going to step off the microphone. That doesn’t happen very often, you may never see him again,” he said.
“But I got a call Monday morning from a young lady who said, ‘Dad, I want to speak at the RNC because I want America to know what my grandfather is really like.’ So for the very first time on stage, the very first time I’m giving a speech, I want to bring in my oldest daughter and the oldest granddaughter of your favorite president, Kai Madison Trump.”
