WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump, joined by his daughter Ivanka Trump and other family members, attended the College Football Playoff Championship game on Monday night. Among the group was Kai Trump, the president’s eldest grandchild, who was spotted with his arm in a sling during the event.

As the camera scanned the crowd during the pregame ceremonies, the Trump family was shown standing for the national anthem. Observers noticed Kai with a sling supporting his arm and his wrist wrapped up.

The championship face-off on Monday night featured Indiana and Miami, as both teams vied for the coveted national title.

Earlier this month, Kai Trump revealed she underwent surgery on her left wrist due to a golf injury. 

“Today, I underwent left wrist surgery to address injuries to the stabilizing tissues of my ECU tendon and damage to my triangular fibrocartilage complex,” she said on Jan. 7. “The surgery was successfully performed at the Lehigh Valley Orthopedic Institute by Dr. Thomas Graham, Chief of Jefferson Orthopedics. I look forward to my rehab ahead in the coming months. I am excited for the ability to play golf pain free!” 

Kai Trump is playing golf at the collegiate level at the University of Miami. She’s the daughter of Donald Trump Jr.
