While Washington remains addicted to endless political cage matches, President Trump’s granddaughter is heading in the opposite direction. Kai Trump, the 18-year-old daughter of Donald Trump Jr., made it clear she wants no part of the nonstop political warfare that dominates American life. Appearing on the Impaulsive podcast hosted by Logan Paul, Kai described politics as “a dangerous thing” and urged Americans to cool it and find some common ground.
Kai said she stays completely out of politics, despite her last name guaranteeing she will never truly escape it. “I don’t want anything to do with politics because I feel like politics is such a dangerous thing,” she said, sounding far more grounded than many professional pundits twice her age. In a media culture built on outrage clicks and manufactured hysteria, that alone was refreshing.
She also made it clear she harbors no personal animosity toward President Trump’s 2024 opponent, Kamala Harris. When Paul tried to frame Harris as the “opps,” Kai brushed it off. She said there’s no bad blood and described herself as being “very much in the middle,” adding that while she supports her grandfather because he’s family, that’s where it ends.
Kai spoke candidly about how both the left and the right have drifted toward increasingly extreme positions, blaming social media algorithms that trap people inside ideological bubbles. According to her, feeds are designed to push users further and further in one direction, leaving moderation and nuance behind. “There’s a lot of this radical left and there’s a radical right,” she said, noting that people often buy into it far too deeply.
She also talked about her cousin Barron Trump, describing him as a genuinely good guy who prefers to stay out of the spotlight. Barron, now 19, is attending New York University’s business school in Washington, D.C., and according to Kai, he’s just not interested in playing the public figure game.
When asked about Barron whispering something to Joe Biden during President Trump’s second inauguration, Kai said she didn’t know what was said but insisted it would have been “nice,” a detail that probably disappoints people who live for imaginary drama.
Kai also opened up about the awkward realities of dating and socializing with Secret Service protection always nearby. She admitted it was strange at first, but said she’s learned to tune it out and live her life anyway.
Beyond politics and podcast chatter, Kai is an accomplished golfer and is set to play at the University of Miami next year. While the political world argues endlessly, she’s focused on sports, school, and staying sane, which might be the most rebellious choice of all right now.
