President Donald Trump was able to chuckle about needing a lot of security after nearly being assassinated multiple times during a round of golf with his granddaughter, Kai Trump, that she posted to her YouTube channel on Saturday. Kai Trump, as the president drove the golf cart they were using between holes, pointed out there were plenty of Secret Service members off-camera.

After his drive found the left rough on the par-4 eighth hole, Rahm saw his lie and started complaining: "What a day, what a day," he said, followed by an expletive. The marshal who marked his ball said "It's OK," and Rahm immediately looked at him and said: "Don't tell me it's OK, please. Thank you." The marshal apologized as he walked away, while Rahm continued complaining: "It's not OK."

Chase told police he and his friends were golfing, and that he had hit a ball from the tee box while a group of other golfers were still on the hole's green. "I didn't realize there were people on the green. I hit the ball. They all kind of came up at me and ... I just ended up arguing with them," Chase can be heard telling an officer in a body-worn camera video.

As part of her announcement last week, Kai attached 10 photos of her posing in different variations of the sweater throughout the grounds of the White House. In two of the photos, she can be seen holding a golf club, in a subtle nod to her other primary focus in life. With the photo shoot, however, she has been able to combine her passion for golf with her role as an influencer.
