President Trump’s granddaughter Kai said she believes “politics is a dangerous thing” and urged Americans to meet “in the middle” in a wide-ranging interview published Monday — in which she also opened up about her Uncle Barron and what it’s like dating with the United States Secret Service shadowing her.
Kai, the eldest daughter of Donald Trump Jr., said in a sit-down with influencer Logan Paul’s “Impaulsive” podcast that she “completely” stays out of politics, and assured that she has no “bad blood” with her granddad’s 2024 election opponent, Kamala Harris.
“I don’t want anything to do with politics because I feel like politics is such a dangerous thing,” she admitted.
Kai, 18, noted she’s seen both the left and the right start going in more “extreme” directions and creating more division, which she largely blamed on the echo chamber of social media.
“I think if both sides met in the middle, everyone would be so much more happier and I think there’s a lot of this radical left and there’s a radical right and there’s a lot of people that are getting too extreme,” she said.
“And that’s where social media really ties into it because social media kinda makes your … feed be one way or the other,” she continued.
“There’s not a lot of things on social media where you’re very much in the middle and I think that kinda makes some people crazy and some people buy into it too much.”
Kai also said she has no personal issues with Harris when Paul asked her if the former veep was the “opps.”
“There’s no bad blood. I’m very much in the middle. I’m kind of like ‘It is what it is.’ They ran against each other — obviously I’m going to support my grandpa, my family member, but that’s pretty much it.”
At another point in the interview, Paul asks Trump what her “Uncle B” is like, referring to Barron, who is just one year her senior.
“He’s a great guy,” she said. “He doesn’t like the public eye so much, which I understand. But he’s a great guy.”
Barron, 19, is currently attending NYU’s business school at its campus in Washington, DC.
When asked what Barron might have said to former President Joe Biden when he whispered in his ear during President Trump’s second inauguration earlier this year, Kai couldn’t say for certain but insisted it would have been “nice.”
Kai, who has committed to playing golf at the University of Miami next year, also admitted it’s been a bit “awkward” trying to go on dates with Secret Service agents “like two tables behind you.”
“It’s a little weird,” she said.
Even when she’s with her friends, she said, “I try my best to not let it bother me and I think I’ve learned, especially the past year now … to [know] yes, they’re following me, but also focus and pretend like they’re not there.
“But the first few months, it was tough,” she confessed.
