Donald Trump Jr Called a ‘Horrible Father’ After Posting Bikini Photos of 19-Year-Old Daughter
Donald Trump Jr. drew criticism on social media after sharing a photo carousel celebrating his daughter Kai Trump's 19th birthday, which included several bikini pictures of the YouTube personality. The post, made on May 12, featured Kai in a red prom gown, childhood throwbacks, and swimsuit shots that some followers found surprising since Kai doesn't post bikini photos herself.
RadarOnline reported that in his Instagram caption, Trump Jr., 48, expressed pride in his daughter, writing, "Happy birthday to my absolute favorite 19-year-old child. @kaitrumpgolfer I love you and continue to be amazed at the woman you're becoming." Kai is preparing to start her freshman year at the University of Miami this fall.

As per AOL, one user wrote, "You post the first pics of her in a string bikini," while another labeled Trump Jr. a horrible father for the post.

The birthday celebration was an intimate affair with Kai's divorced parents, Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump, hosting a cozy dinner at home surrounded by family and close friends. The menu featured dishes such as spicy tuna crispy rice, short rib barbacoa, chicken carnitas street tacos, buffalo wings, beef tenderloin, and basil pesto pasta.
