Vignettes from the Age of Trump
By 
Preserved for the contemplation of future historians, if any:
On November 12, 2005, Vanessa Kay Trump, nee Pergolizzi, later Haydon] married Donald Trump Jr. The wedding was held at the Mar-a-Lago club in Florida; the service was officiated by Trump Jr.’s aunt, Judge Maryanne Trump Barry.[ Trump Jr. had proposed to her with a US $100,000 ring (equivalent to $161,000 in 2024) that he had received as a gift from a jeweler in exchange for proposing to her in front of paparazzi outside of the jeweler’s store at the Short Hills mall in New Jersey. . .
Kai Madison Trump (born May 12, 2007) is an American social media personality and golfer. A member of the Trump family, she is the eldest child of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Haydon and the eldest grandchild of U.S. president Donald Trump. She rose to national prominence following her speech in support of her grandfather’s fourth presidential campaign at the 2024 Republican National Convention, subsequently becoming a popular social media personality. . . .As of February 2025, Trump reportedly had an name, image, and likeness valuation of $1.2 million, with sponsors including Callaway Golf Company[8] and TaylorMade Golf.
President Donald Trump’s granddaughter will take part in The ANNIKA LPGA tour event next month at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida.
Kai Trump, who will be attending the University of Miami next year, received a sponsor [aka wild card] exemption to play in the penultimate event of the 2025 LPGA schedule on Nov. 13-16.

. . . commenter The Sophist points out that Ms. Trump is the 461st-ranked junior female golfer in the country, so putting her in an LPGA event (the top tour for women golfers) isn’t quite as bad as letting Bill Ackman pretend to be a tennis player for valuable consideration, but it’s still a few parsecs short of The Meritocracy ™.
Oh let’s do a little more research:
Trump is ranked No. 979 in the Universal Golf Rankings’ junior girls list. Trump’s biggest tournament to date was the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley, where she finished last in a field of 24 golfers, shooting 52 over with rounds of 89-79-83-89.
