'This is the fake news': Donald Trump's granddaughter Kai Trump joins him at 2am presser; watch video

US President Donald Trump recently took a jab at news organisations during a press briefing labelling them "fake news" as he introduced his eldest granddaughter, Kai Madison Trump, to reporters aboard Air Force One.
Accompanied by Kai along with Donald Trump III, and Spencer Trump—children of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump—attended the UFC 314 fight in Miami. After the match, as the entourage headed back to Palm Beach aboard Air Force One, Trump turned to the waiting reporters, gesturing to 17-year-old Kai, he quipped, “This is the fake news,” before inviting reporters to ask her questions directly. "What's up, Kai? Come on. You know the fake news.. This is the fake news," he said.
Trump then went on to praise his granddaughter and her achievements calling her a "a great athlete". "Great golfer and great student, actually," he added as he introduced Kai.

The jab at the media—one of Trump’s frequent targets—drew a few laughs as Kai greeted the reporters with "Hey, what's up, everyone?"
Kai Trump, who will graduate from The Benjamin School in Palm Beach Gardens in 2026, is already making her own headlines. She plays competitive golf with Charlie Woods, son of Tiger Woods, and is committed to play collegiate golf at the University of Miami. She became a more public figure during the Republican National Convention in 2024, when she delivered a speech offering a personal glimpse into life with her famous grandfather, describing him as a “normal grandpa.”
Adding to that evening’s spectacle, Trump’s VIP section at the Kaseya Center where the fight was held featured a high-profile gathering of political and tech leaders. Among those seated with Trump were Elon Musk—now serving as head of the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—and his son, X Æ A-12. Also in attendance were health and human services secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife, actress Cheryl Hines; FBI director Kash Patel; Texas senator Ted Cruz; secretary of state Marco Rubio; director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard; and Florida Congressman Byron Donalds.
Other viral clips from the night showed Trump appearing to snub a handshake from Hines while greeting RFK Jr., fueling online buzz and one of Trump doing his signature dance after a received a loud and roaring welcome at the UFC event.
