On April 13, 2026, President Trump was driving a golf cart through Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach with his 17-year-old grandson, Donald Trump III, when he spotted a woman jumping and waving excitedly as he passed. Trump stopped the cart and began loudly commenting on her body.
“She's in great shape! Great shape! Look at her!” Trump called out, before inviting the woman over for a photo. He adjusted his belt, put his arm around her, grabbed her hand, and asked, “Is that your husband?” — pointing at the man filming. A second video showed Trump still holding the woman's hand as a crowd gathered.
The woman was identified as Nina Coates, a 97K-follower Instagram golf content creator from Taiwan based in Miami. Coates, a Trump supporter, responded positively on TikTok, writing “Yes I'm married” with a laughing emoji and captioning one video: “This is how people (Trump) treat you if you keep staying in shape.”
The incident drew widespread criticism as consistent with Trump's documented pattern of objectifying women — from the Access Hollywood tape to the E. Jean Carroll sexual abuse liability finding. Even the right-leaning OutKick confirmed all the same facts while defending the behavior: “Yeah, and that's what grandfathers do, you dorks.”
