Kai Trump is opening up about the struggles of dating as the granddaughter of President Donald Trump - especially when the Secret Service is always around. "To be honest with you, it's really awkward when you're sitting and going on a date with a guy and they're two tables behind you," Kai, 18, admitted during a Tuesday, January 6, appearance on Logan Paul's "Impaulsive" podcast. "It's a little weird. I try my best not to let it bother me. Especially the past year, since he's become President, I've had to learn that, yes, they're following me, but also to focus on pretending that they're not there." She continued, "Obviously, they are there. But if you can try to not really focus on that and enjoy your time with your friends, your family or whatever it is, it makes it easier." Kai said that her Secret Service detail took some getting used to, but it helped to realize they were not there to interfere with her daily life.

But once I was like, 'Their only job is to protect me. I'm going to focus on my stuff and have them do their job.' It made it so much easier." Kai has kept her dating life private since emerging in the public eye amid her grandfather's political career and her own aspirations on the golf course. She is committed to the University of Miami, where she will be a freshman on the Hurricanes' golf team come fall. She made her LPGA debut in November 2025, participating in The Annika at Pelican Golf Club with a controversial sponsor exemption. (Sponsor exemptions are sometimes granted to those who do not qualify for an event on merit but will bring a level of popularity that could help raise the tournament's profile.) As Kai continues to follow her golf dreams, telling Paul, 30, that she aspires to be a professional golfer, she has an all-time great to follow. Her mother, Vanessa, who was married to Donald Trump Jr. from 2005 to 2018, is now dating Tiger Woods. What's It Like Inside Taylor Swift's Chiefs Suite?

And even better person," she said in an interview with Fox News Digital in November 2025. "He told me to go out there and have fun and just go with the flow. Whatever happens, happens." With her golf career ahead, Kai told Paul that she has elected to stay out of politics altogether. "To be honest with you, I stay out of politics completely," she said. "Like, I would never run and I don't want anything to do with politics." She explained, "I feel like politics is such a dangerous thing and I think if both sides met in the middle everyone would be so much more happier and I think there's radical left, there's radical right and there's a lot of people who get too extreme." Kai also added that she has no ill will toward her grandfather's political rival, former Vice President Kamala Harris, whom President Trump defeated in the 2024 presidential election. "I think that kind of makes some people crazy and some people buy into it too much," Kai said. "I think that's like the best way to say it. There's no bad blood. I'm very much in the middle. It is what it is, they ran against each other."
