Watch: Donald Trump’s grandson Kai performs iconic ‘YMCA’ dance on private jet

Kai Trumpthe 17-year-old grandson of President-elect Donald Trump captured social media attention by showing off his grandfather’s iconic “YMCA” dance moves in a TikTok video aboard his private jet.
Kai, along with friend Emma Markin, re-enacted the signature steps, including finger pointing and a playful thumbs-up gesture, in the opulent surroundings of Trump’s Boeing 757.

“Learned these moves from the best,” Kai captioned the clip, which has garnered praise from her followers, with many urging her to convince Trump to join her on TikTok.
Comments like “No one can do it like your grandpa! But you’re close,” reflecting admiration for her tribute to the soon-to-be 47th president’s campaign trail.
Kai has been a rising figure on social media, amassing over a million followers on TikTok since her appearance at the Republican National Convention in July. In addition to sharing glimpses of her family life, including moments at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago on election night, she balances the world of politics with her passion for golf, where she is already the Varsity captain and a rising star in the sport.
Her tribute dance also highlights the widespread adoption of Trump’s move by athletes, including NFL stars and UFC champions, during their celebrations. However, the viral trend has sparked mixed reactions, with critics such as DailyMail.com columnist Tim Howard calling for clarity on whether such performances are political statements or purely for fun.
Kai, who recently committed to the University of Miami for golf, credits her grandfather for his encouragement and support in pursuing her dreams.
Reflecting on their bond, she said, “To me, he’s just a normal grandpa… he’s always encouraging me to be the most successful person I can be.”
