Trump granddaughter laments last name in resurfaced clip: People tell me 'grandpa sucks'

By David Edwards
Published April 30, 2026 9:55 AM ET

Kai Trump, the granddaughter of President Donald Trump, revealed that half the world dislikes her because of her last name.

In a recently resurfaced interview with conservative influencer Jake Paul, Kai Trump admitted that "some people don't like me."

"I mean, 50% in the world doesn't like me," she remarked, "because my last name, but like they don't actually know me. So like, I'm hoping if people actually give me a shot and, like, not look at like the last name, then I won't have any [opposition], but we'll see."

They're self centered, not too bright, rich privileged snobs.

It's possible Kai is a rare gem of a human, but most likely she's a boring self centered idiot.

Even as right-wing politicians.

Also her half-sister Rachele Mussolini, and cousin Caio Giulio Cesare Mussolini, both are Italian politicians.

Now, Hitler on the other hand...

She wants to make money off the name, but whines about the consequence of it. Disingenuous, but that's a family tradition.

In the International world the number is probably closer to 75%

Maybe 60% in this country.

Especially in your age cohort kiddo. But at least you're not an immigrant of color. Maybe step up and try to do real good in the world and you could be remembered for being one to rise above their horrible upbringing?

Generally I believe politicians kids should be left alone but in this case I do not. Did she just compete in a golf tournament where she was ranked 461 but was let in because of her name. So her crying about people hating her because of her grandfather is just fake.

Even though an adult she still is an child of the Trumps son. In this case since she used his name to get into the tournament she is open to negative comments. She entered the public sphere. If his kids or grandkids do not do anything publicly or use his name they should be left alone.

When a typical American fails in business, it’s a tragic but noble story about market forces, shifting consumer trends, inflation, and the cold, unfeeling hand of capitalism.

When conservatives fail in business, it’s obviously Cancel Culture™, a shadowy mob of mean tweets and offended baristas personally orchestrating the downfall of yet another “bold truth-teller” brand.

Because nothing says free market so much as pitiable excuses.
