Kai Trump, President Donald Trump’s oldest grandchild, used a podcast drop to shut down any future campaign chatter and pitch bipartisan calm. Her remarks offer a rare Trump-family dissent track days after her grandfather again floated a third-term dream.
No Campaign, No Politics
Kai told Logan Paul flat-out: “I would never run” and wants “nothing to do with politics” because she sees the arena as dangerous.
She blames extremists on both edges:
- “There’s radical left, there’s radical right”
- “If both sides met in the middle, everyone would be so much more happier”
- Social media, she adds, amplifies the fringe and “makes some people crazy”
Family Dynamics and Own Voice
Raised to think freely, Kai credits her mom, Vanessa Trump, for a “calm, chill” approach while noting dad Donald Trump Jr. “goes to war online.”
**On Harris rivalry:
> “There’s no bad blood. I’m very much in the middle… Obviously, I’m gonna support my grandpa, my family member, but that’s pretty much it.”
Convention Spotlight Was Her Call
Despite online theories, Kai insists her RNC speech last July was her idea:
> “I did that on my own… That was literally all my idea.”
She says she would have attended anyway; choosing to speak just drew extra heat.
