Kai Trump’s views on transgender athletes in women’s sports have been revealed by a resurfaced social media post.
It comes just days after president Donald Trump, her grandfather, threatened to halt federal funding to California after a transgender athlete dominated a school meet and qualified for the state championships.
Aspiring golfer Kai, 18, is preparing to start her college career at the University of Miami later this year.
And a post from February 5, which she shared on social media on National Girls and Women in Sports Day, has now come to light.
Kai, whose mom Vanessa is dating Tiger Woods, wrote: ‘Sports give girls confidence, strength, and leadership skills for life,’ she wrote.
‘I’m grateful to have strong women who inspire me, and I know how important it is to support the next generation of female athletes.’

Donald Trump threatened to halt federal funding to California after a trans athlete won an event
Earlier this week, Trump blasted California governor Gavin Newsom, who he called ‘Newscum,’ and called a transgender athlete’s sporting domination in the state ‘not fair and totally demeaning to women and girls.’
‘Please be advised that large scale federal funding will be held back, maybe permanently,’ Trump threatened on his Truth Social site.
Then, without citing a specific legal basis, Trump wrote that ‘I am ordering local authorities, if necessary, to not allow the transitioned person to compete in the State Finals. This is a totally ridiculous situation!!!’
His post came after transgender athlete AB Hernandez of Jurupa Valley won the women’s long jump and triple jump at the California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section Masters Meet.
A week ago, Reese Hogan of Crean Lutheran High School, one of the opponents defeated by Hernandez, a biological male, took the podium following the official ceremony.
The moment took off online, and earned praise from former college swimmer and conservative political activist Riley Gaines. In March, Hernandez drew backlash online after winning a triple jump event by three feet.
Trump fumed about the results of the weekend’s meet, and teased an upcoming phone call with Newsom.
He wrote: ‘California, under the leadership of Radical Left Democrat Gavin Newscum, continues to ILLEGALLY allow “MEN TO PLAY IN WOMEN’S SPORTS.”
AB Hernandez of Jurupa Valley is making waves in track and field in contentious fashion
Last week one of Hernandez’s beaten opponents waited to take her spot at the top of a podium
‘This week a transitioned Male athlete, at a major event, won “everything,” and is now qualified to compete in the “State Finals” next weekend. As a Male, he was a less than average competitor. As a Female, this transitioned person is practically unbeatable.’
Then, he added in all caps, ‘this is not fair and totally demeaning to women and girls.’
Trump went on to threaten: ‘Please be hereby advised that large scale Federal Funding will be held back, maybe permanently, if the Executive Order on this subject matter is not adhered to.
‘The Governor, himself, said it is “UNFAIR.” I will speak to him today to find out which way he wants to go??? In the meantime I am ordering local authorities, if necessary, to not allow the transitioned person to compete in the State Finals. This is a totally ridiculous situation!!!’
Trump issued an executive order on his first day in office titled ‘defending women from gender ideology extremism and restoring biological truth to the federal government.’
