Kai Trump is opening up about the emotional days she spent with her mother, Vanessa Trump, before college amid Vanessa’s breast cancer battle.
The 19-year-old granddaughter of President Donald Trump told Fox News Digital that she and her mother became especially emotional in the week before she left to begin her freshman year at the University of Miami.
“There was definitely, there was a lot of crying in like the week leading up,” Kai Trump said. “We would just be driving, and then we’d just start crying together.”

“I was able to spend extra time with her that I would normally probably spend on the golf course,” Kai Trump said. “It was nice to spend those extra hours with her throughout the day before going to college.”
