Kai Trump has given an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at the First Family in a 14-minute vlog about Inauguration Day.
President Donald Trump's eldest grandchild, 17, captured key moments from the 18-hour day, ranging from the curse itself to the family's arrival at the White House and three inaugural balls.
Kai candidly revealed that she and Barron — Trump's youngest son, who is just a year older — played hide-and-seek in the White House during Trump's final stint in power from 2017 to 2021.
“Me, Barron and Donny,” she said, referring to her younger brother.
'We used to play hide and seek… and also on the front lawn [we] would play football.'
Kai lightheartedly suggested that she and Barron could reunite for another game of football in a future vlog.
'A football vlog of me and Barron? If you guys want to see that, let me know,” she said.
The aspiring YouTuber described Monday's inauguration as “the experience of a lifetime… a little crazy” but “memorable,” as she described her sheer exhaustion.
At one point, Kai invited her father Don Jr., Trump's eldest son, to “say something to the vlog”

On the way to the big day, Kai told the cameras she only had four hours of sleep and felt “cooked.”
She said every day was packed with activities, which led to “early wake-ups and late nights” and left little time during the day to actually sleep.
During the morning church service on Monday, Kai first began to process the life-changing events that were about to take place.
“It's a lot at once, but very exciting for the whole family,” she said.
At one point, Kai invited her father Don Jr., Trump's eldest son, to “say something to the vlog.”
Don Jr. said, 'I love this little Smurf. I'm so proud of her. I jumped her yesterday and asked her if she wanted to speak live in front of 25,000 people and she was absolutely devastated.
“Even if daddies aren't cool at her age, I don't care, I love her so much.”
The pair revealed they were nervous about the upcoming slow dance at two of the three balls they attended later in the evening, noting that they had never danced together before and were not particularly coordinated.

“We're going to have two people with two left feet, so it'll be interesting. Kai is going to show some of her breakdance that she has been practicing.'
When Don Jr. Kai and her friend left, she said: 'What a chiller. What a cooler. A chill guy.'
Even amid all the chaos of the day, Kai revealed that Trump is still “just a normal grandpa” to her.
Later that evening, the Trump family took a quiet moment to take some family photos.

The president then took another solo photo with Kai alone.
Kai's video has already been viewed nearly 500,000 times in the five hours since she posted it.
“Kai is basically the Princess of the United States,” one fan wrote.
“You are a breath of fresh air, young lady. Your parents and your grandfather should be incredibly proud of the young lady you have grown into. Thank you so much for sharing this with us,” another added.
