The cash-grabbing apple doesn’t fall removed from the tree. Two of President Donald Trump’s younger heirs are attempting to interrupt out on their very own—with their household’s assist.
The president’s granddaughter Kai Trump—whose 18th birthday prompted the MAGA motion to get actually bizarre—is likely one of the youngest Trumps to money in on the household’s ill-gotten clout. The daughter of Donald Trump Jr. has been parading across the White Home on social media, utilizing the presidential backdrop to spice up her on-line branding.
Earlier this week, she introduced her new video sequence “1 on 1 with Kai,” and her debut visitor is none apart from her red-hatted grandfather himself.
In clips posted to Instagram, Trumps Kai and Donald cruise round a golf course because the younger girl asks such hard-hitting questions as what her grandfather’s favourite annual White Home occasion is.
“Anything in the White House is my favorite,” Donald Trump replied, giving an equally riveting reply.
And whereas social media followers do not instantly equate to earnings, her very personal clothes model may.
Final month, the teenage golfer introduced her self-named clothes line, with a photoshoot taken largely on the White Home grounds.
It didn’t take lengthy for these serially on-line to note the similarity of Kai Trump’s brand and the brand for Kansas Metropolis Chiefs tight finish Travis Kelce’s collaboration with American Eagle. However the clothes model appeared to brush off a possible lawsuit in opposition to the well-known household that has in any other case been pleasant to it.
Barron Trump, proven in January.
Kai Trump isn’t the one one probably getting in on the household grift.
The president’s youngest son, 19-year-old Barron Trump, is being floated as an addition to the board of social media big TikTok.
After Donald Trump facilitated the sale of TikTok to U.S. tech giants, his former social media supervisor stated, “I’m hopeful President Trump will consider appointing his son Barron … to TikTok’s board to help ensure it remains an app young people want to keep using.”
Thoughts you, Barron’s expertise with the platform appears to cap off at him merely being a person of social media. And his expertise as a businessman is sort of nil: He reportedly launched an actual property enterprise with a former classmate in July 2024, earlier than the Trump household had him briefly dissolve it because of the 2024 presidential election.
However perhaps this TikTok-board-seat concept is simply one other try from these in Trump’s orbit to construct Barron’s model, much like all these media tales about him confusingly being labelled a heartthrob.
The Trump identify has lengthy benefitted the entire cursed household, in any case.
Eric and Don Jr. have amassed their fortune from the Trump Group, questionable handouts, and inheriting an actual property empire. Ivanka Trump has gotten her fair proportion of name offers. And her husband, Jared Kushner, has made shady enterprise ventures with the crown prince of Saudi Arabia.
However with all of this cash floating round, the primary reminder is that—no matter how a lot wealth a household has already acquired—the artwork of the grift transcends generations.
