Donald Trump Jr. had choice words when asked about teenage boys now swarming his 17-year-old daughter Kai after her star turn at the Republican National Convention.
“Get away, you little b–tards, and stay away,” the protective dad said on Fox News after host Laura Ingraham discussed Kai’s explosion of admirers.
Kai hit the spotlight this week with her RNC speech praising her grandfather, former President Donald Trump, just ahead of his formal nomination as the Republican candidate.

“He always encourages me to be the most successful person I can be,” the teen said in her speech.
“Obviously he sets the bar pretty high. But who knows? Maybe one day I’ll catch him.”
“Grandpa, you are such an inspiration, and I love you,” Kai added.
“The media makes my grandpa seem like a different person, but I know him for who he is. He’s very caring and loving. He truly wants the best for this country, and he will fight every single day to make America great again.”
After her speech, Kai was trending on X (formerly Twitter), with many commenters calling her “classy” and “beautiful.”
Her father may not be thrilled with all the attention she’s getting, but he posted about his fatherly pride on X.
“As a father, I could not be more proud of my daughter Kai and the amazing job she did last night,” he wrote.
“She reached out to me on Monday morning and simply said she feels very strongly that she wants to talk about her grandfather at the RNC and she nailed it!”
