Why It Matters
Kai Trump, who is the eldest daughter of Donald Trump Jr., has gained attention as an aspiring golfer and has a rapidly growing presence on social media, with 2.6 million Instagram followers to date.

Her mother, Vanessa Trump, who split from Donald Trump Jr. in 2018, is now dating the golfing star, Tiger Woods.
What To Know
Asked by Paul what dating is like, she said, “To be honest with you, it’s really awkward.”
“When you’re sitting and having like, going on a date with a guy and they’re like, two tables behind you,” she said.
She then said that she has tried to adjust and not let it bother her and “pretend like they’re not there.”
She described the first few months of having that detail as “tough” and “not easy.”
“You don’t really think about that stuff, because you kind of just, if you live a normal life, you just go out your house and leave. You don’t have to plan every single second. So that was tough,” she said.
The clip of her speaking about dating has been viewed 1.8 million times on X.
Elsewhere in the podcast, Kai Trump revealed that she “completely” avoids politics. “I don’t want anything to do with politics,” she said. “I think politics is such a dangerous thing.”
“If both sides met in the middle, everyone would be so much more happier,” she said, before acknowledging that radical ideologies exist on both sides of the political spectrum.
What People Are Saying
Kai Trump, speaking in the podcast: “Obviously they’re there, but if you can try not really focusing on that and more, enjoying your time with your friends, your family, whatever it is, it makes it easier.”
