Kai Trump, the granddaughter of former President Donald Trump, opened up about the unique challenges she faces regarding dating due to the constant presence of Secret Service agents. In a recent interview on Logan Paul’s podcast, Impaulsive, the 18-year-old shared her experiences with romantic outings under the watchful eye of security personnel.
During the episode, Kai described how a typical date can feel uncomfortable when Secret Service agents are seated just a short distance away. “To be honest with you, it’s really awkward when you’re sitting and going on a date with a guy and [the Secret Service are] two tables behind you,” she confessed. This ongoing situation has prompted her to adjust her mindset in order to enjoy her personal life despite the surveillance.
Adapting to Life in the Public Eye
Kai, who is the eldest child of Donald Trump Jr. and his former spouse, Vanessa Trump, explained that the transition to public life has been a gradual process. Since her grandfather took office in January 2017, she has had to learn to navigate the complexities of having security detail constantly following her. “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 shared.
She acknowledged that the initial adjustment period was challenging. “It was not easy having someone following you all the time,” she said. However, she found a way to cope by recognizing the role of the agents. “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.”
Avoiding Politics and Embracing Sports
Despite her family’s prominent political background, Kai expressed a desire to distance herself from the political arena. “To be honest with you, I stay out of politics completely,” she told Paul. Her sentiments reflect a broader concern about the current political climate. “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,” she remarked.
When discussing political figures, including Kamala Harris, who was defeated by her grandfather in the 2024 election, Kai emphasized her neutral stance. “There’s no bad blood. I’m very much in the middle. It is what it is. They ran against each other,” she stated.
In addition to navigating her public persona, Kai has recently gained attention for her commitment to golf. She plans to join the University of Miami‘s golf team this fall and made her debut on the LPGA Tour at The Annika at Pelican Golf Club in November 2025. As she balances her athletic pursuits with the challenges of her family legacy, Kai Trump continues to carve out her own identity in the spotlight.
