Share and Follow

A man scaled the walls of President Donald Trump’s exclusive Mar-a-Lago resort and made an indecent proposal to marry Trump’s teenage granddaughter. 

Anthony Thomas Reyes, 23, also said he wanted to ‘spread the gospel’ after he was discovered by Secret Service shortly after midnight on Tuesday. 

The lovesick gatecrasher was arrested by Palm Beach Police and charged with trespassing.

The president was in Washington D.C. at the time and his granddaughter, 18-year-old Kai Trump, was vacationing in the Bahamas.

Reyes told officers he climbed over the towering wall which surrounds Mar-a-Lago in search of Kai, who turned 18 just last month.

The teenage golfer, known for her appearances on Trump’s campaign trail, has built a strong following online by giving fans a peek into her close relationship with her grandfather on social media.

She attends school in North Palm Beach and is the daughter of Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr. 

Reyes said he was also looking for Trump because he wanted to talk about ‘the gospel.’

It is not the first time the 23-year-old Texas man has attempted to access Mar-a-Lago.

Despite reducing her activity on social media after Trump went back to the White House, Kai posted a recent video on YouTube featuring her trip to the Bahamas with her closest friend.

He was issued a stern warning for trespassing on December 31, 2024. At the time, Trump was present at the home.

Reyes is being held at Palm Beach County Jail on a $50,000 bond. He has pleaded not guilty. 

Although Kai has dialed back her online presence following Trump’s return to the White House, she did upload a video on YouTube just three days ago, showcasing her holiday in the Bahamas with her family and best friend.

She promoted her YouTube video via Instagram on Tuesday, breaking a 10-day social media silence. 

In the video, Kai shared her workout routine, a trip to the hair salon and sweet moments with her best friend on their trip. 

They dined with her mom, Vanessa Trump, and sipped on virgin strawberry daiquiris by the pool as she soaked up the summer sun. 

In true Kai fashion the keen golfer, who has committed to the University of Miami in the fall, took some time out of her relaxing vacation to check out the golf course.

‘I’m gonna hit some balls because why not,’ she said in the vlog. ‘Worked on my swing a little. It’s beautiful. I’m not sure if you guys have ever been to Albany before… I love it.’

Her grandfather – who owns 18 courses across the globe, including 11 in the US – also has a passion for golf and frequently enjoys a round at one of his clubs in Florida.

Trump recently featured in one of Kai’s vlogs to discuss her future prospects of turning pro.

‘I just wanna say that I play a lot of golf with Kai and she’s a fantastic golfer,’ Trump said on camera. 

‘She’s a scratch player, which is amazing. I think some day in the not-too-distant future she’s gonna be much better than scratch.’

However, the president stressed that there would only be one winner if they battled it out on the course.

‘She’s doing really well and she wins a lot of matches,’ he added. ‘And some day she’ll be able to beat her grandfather, but I’m not sure when that’ll be… it might be a long time!’

Trump could then be seen laughing as his granddaughter jokingly challenged him to a one-on-one showdown.

Kai’s posts are often inundated with messages of support for her grandfather, as viewers beg her to ‘pass on messages’ to the president and express their adoration.
