WASHINGTON, DC: Kai Trump accompanied her grandfather, President Donald Trump, during his brief early morning press conference aboard Air Force One on Sunday, April 13. 

However, a section of the social media users pointed out that the teenager wasn’t completely at ease during the presser.

In the video, which has since gone viral, Kai Trump joined her grandfather while he was surrounded by cameras and news reporters. Pointing towards them, the POTUS told Kai, “You know the fake news? This is the fake news," as per the Irish Star. 

Nevertheless, as Kai came in front of the camera, she smiled nervously and greeted the reporters, “How are you guys? Good morning.”



 

“We’re just doing a little news conference. You wanna partake?” the president asked before gushing to the reporters, “She’s a great athlete, actually, a great golfer. A great student.”

The teenager affirmed that she is indeed a good golfer.

As the presser continued, the teenager looked uncomfortable as Trump took questions from the reporters about his meeting with El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele and whether he had concerns about human rights abuses at the country's mega prison.

Later, another journalist turned to Kai to ask her about her opinion on the UFC fight that she attended with her grandfather.

She replied, "That was awesome. It’s my first UFC fight and I really enjoyed it."



 

Kai is the eldest daughter of Donald Trump Jr and his ex-wife, Vanessa Trump, who were married for 13 years from 2005 to 2018. 

Internet wonders whether Kai Trump was 'nervous' while attending presser with Donald Trump

While Kai Trump greeted the press amicably, a section of the social media users wondered whether the granddaughter of President Donald Trump looked "uncomfortable" during the press conference. 

One said, "Poor girl looks uncomfortable," and another pointed out, "Kai was so nervous 😂."

A person wrote, "She looks profoundly uncomfortable. Good job," whereas someone else noted, "She looks uncomfortable as they’re discussing the obvious human rights abuses in El Salvador and the US."

"Lol, Kai suddenly pulled into the conversation," an individual pointed out.
