Kai Trump sent a wave of celebration through her Instagram feed on Sunday, November 30, as she shared signing-day photos that captured one of the biggest milestones of her athletic career.
The teen golfer posted a series of shots from her ceremony at The Benjamin School, where she officially committed to the University of Miami—complete with the Hurricanes’ signature orange-and-green spirit.

In the set, the rising golf talent, 18, known for her smooth short game and standout junior-tournament finishes, wore a heather-gray Miami tee paired with a cream pleated skort, white sneakers and capped the look off with a Hurricanes hat in a few of the photos.
The teen beamed as she signed her letter, posed at the prep school’s branded backdrop, and threw up the iconic “U” hand symbol for the camera.

Norman Rockwell’s relatives are taking aim at President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security for using the late artist’s work to promote an agenda they believe he would have abhorred.
“Norman Rockwell was antifa,” the artist’s granddaughter, Daisy Rockwell, told The Bulwark in an interview released December 28 in which she gave the outlet a tour of the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.
The term “antifa” is short for “anti-fascist.” Despite being a decentralized political movement, “antifa” has been dubbed by Trump and his allies as a “terrorist organization,” seemingly encapsulating any political protest critical of the administration.
The Department of Homeland Security recently used some of Norman Rockwell’s famous paintings, unauthorized, in recruitment ads on social media that Daisy says her grandfather would not have agreed with.
“They used [the paintings] . . . as though his work aligned with their values, i.e., promoting this segregationist vision of America,” Daisy said. “And so of course we were upset by this, because Norman Rockwell was really very clearly anti-segregationist.”
In November, the family of Norman Rockwell denounced the DHS and its use of his artwork in an op-ed for USA Today in which they further explained that the artist, who died in 1978, was a civil rights champion who used his artwork to advocate for equality.
“We ‒ as his eldest son, grandchildren and great-grandchildren ‒ believe that now is the time to follow in his footsteps and stand for the values he truly wished to share with us and all Americans: compassion, inclusiveness and justice for all,” the op-ed concluded.Kai Trump/Instagram
Another shot showed Kai standing beside her mother, Vanessa Trump — the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr. — who joined the celebration in a sleek all-black look with a green sweater tied around her waist.
The moment doubled as a family milestone: She has long been known within the Trump family for her athletic discipline, and fans may remember she began playing golf at a young age and has competed nationally for years.

The Instagram caption read, “A little late but here’s my signing day photo dump. Can’t wait for the next 4 years! 💚🧡.”
The comments lit up with support, including Vanessa, 47, herself writing, “I’m very proud of you Kai ❤️,” while others piled on the congratulations and celebratory emojis.
From the looks of it, the Hurricanes just scored one very enthusiastic new recruit.
