Prayers Are Pouring In For Kai Trump
Prayers Are Pouring In For Kai Trump originally appeared on The Spun. Prayers are pouring in for Kai Trump following an extremely scary situation. Earlier in June, a man was arrested after jumping over the walls at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. The luxury resort club, which serves as a compound for President of the United States, is owned by Trump. It is considered his primary home. The man who jumped the walls at Mar-a-Lago told authorities that he wanted to 'spread the gospel' to Trump and wed his 18-year-old granddaughter, Kai. Anthony Thomas Reyes, 22, was busted just after midnight earlier in June. It was the second time that he had been caught trying to climb over the walls. It's unclear if Kai Trump was inside of the walls at the time of the incident, but it's still a terribly frightening situation. Kai Trump, only 18, has become a very public figure. She has blown up on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, with millions of followers. Kai Trump has become an influencer, posting vlogs about her life and interacting with other creators. Prayers are pouring in for her as she deals with this scary situation. It's incredibly frightening to have what appears to be a stalker situation. "Horrible," one fan wrote. "Praying for her," one fan added. Kai Trump, a high school golfer, announced her commitment to the University of Miami last year. "I am beyond excited to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Miami. I would like to thank my mom, Vanessa, and my dad, Don, for always supporting me through my journey. I would also like to thank my great team for getting me to this point. I would like to thank my Grandpa for giving me access to great courses and tremendous support. I would also like to thank my Mormor for always believing in me," she announced. "I would also like to thank my entire family for always encouraging and pushing me to be the best person I can possibly be. I would like to thank my friends for always cheering me on. Last but not least I would love to thank Coach Janice and Coach Jim for giving me this opportunity. I am supper excited to be a cane and represent the University of Miami. Gooo Canes!" The University of Miami's student newspaper published an op-ed in support of Kai Trump earlier this week. "The UM community must do its part to let Kai Trump be a student, allowing her to attend class and experience a normal college life. The disturbing incident reflects an unfortunate trend in which the families of presidents become targets of public scrutiny, stalking or worse," the student newspaper reporter wrote. "It's important to remember that we are all human. People like Kai, and other political relatives deserve the same respect, privacy and security as everyone else. "This latest stalking incident is a stark reminder that the university must also be as cooperative as possible with Trump's security team in order to ensure her safety on campus. "Students should welcome her to the 'Canes community with open arms, but should also respect her privacy. Doing things like letting her sit with you at lunch or walking with her to class can make her feel right at home." No matter how you feel about her grandfather, it's important to let Kai Trump be a college student - and a safe one, at that.
