00:00Hi, everyone.

00:06My name is Kai Mazin-Trump.

00:09I am the granddaughter of Donald Trump.

00:11I'm speaking today to share the side of my grandpa that people don't often see.

00:18To me, he's just a normal grandpa.

00:21He gives us candy and soda when our parents aren't looking.

00:26He always wants to know how we're doing in school.

00:30When I made the high honor roll, he printed it out to show his friends how proud he was

00:35of me.

00:42He calls me during the middle of the school day to ask how my golf game is going and tells

00:47me all about his.

00:52But then I have to remind him that I'm in school and I'll have to call him back later.

00:57When we play golf together, if I'm not on his team, he'll try to get inside of my head.

01:05I know.

01:06And he's always surprised that I don't let him get to me.

01:13But I have to remind him I'm with Trump, too.
