Internet in uproar as Donald Trump Jr. is seen on camera calling his teenage daughter Kai 'sexy'
Donald Trump Jr. has caused an uproar after calling his teenage daughter Kai 'sexy'.
The former First Son made the comments while he and Kai, 17, were getting ready for the Republican National Convention earlier this week.
In a clip posted on his TikTok page, Don Jr. can be seen in a makeup chair next to his daughter.
'Kai what do you think?' He asks while panning the camera to show her giving a wave. 'Getting makeup make me look sexy like you?'
Kai flashes a small smile and replies: 'I think you look very beautiful.'
'Thank you Kai, I'm glad you think I look very beautiful' Don Jr. responds, before breaking into a huge grin.
'I don't do this very often, but in HD you better do it,' he adds as a makeup artist continues finishing up his look.
'I'm just excited for Kai's first speech where she chose a very large venue to get out there. She's going to crush it - I love you Kai.'
His daughter responds that she loves him too as a makeup artist applies her lipstick.
But the clip, which has been viewed 7.8 million times since it was posted on Thursday, has prompted backlash.
'So actually we don’t wanna be calling our daughters sexy hope this helps,' one person wrote.

The comments came as the father and daughter were getting ready to appear at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee
TikTok viewers were left disturbed by the remarks, which have been viewed more than 7.8 million times
'That sounds kind of suspicious,' another added.
'I’m a trump supporter, but dang I had to replay this several times to convince myself this doesn’t sound wrong, and I’m still not convinced,' one person said.
The responses also drew comparisons between Donald Trump's comments about his daughter Ivanka.
He famously once said that perhaps he would be dating Ivanka if they weren't related, during a 2006 appearance on The View.
He has also previously called his daughter 'voluptuous' and praised her body.
The TikTok was filmed ahead of Kai's appearance on stage at the Milwaukee event where her grandfather formally accepted the Republican nomination.

The high schooler made her debut with a heartfelt speech where she was the first of the former president’s grandkids to weigh in on the attempted assassination that nearly took his life.
‘A lot of people have put my grandpa through hell, and he’s still standing,’ she told thousands of cheering GOP delegates. ‘Grandpa, you are such an inspiration and I love you.’
Her emotional remarks made her an overnight success and Google searches for the term ‘Kai Trump’ skyrocketed at 10:00 pm on Wednesday, moments after she spoke on night three of the RNC.
