Donald Trump's 19-year-old granddaughter, Kai, has sparked controversy with a YouTube vlog offering a tour of the White House. The video, which garnered over 260,000 views within a day, features Kai imitating her grandfather's speeches and sitting in the presidential office chair.
During the tour, Kai humorously demonstrated the "Diet Coke button" next to the desk, which allegedly summons a beverage with a single press. She also quipped about her grandfather's fondness for gold decor, jokingly saying he "hates" it.
If I press the red button, Diet Coke will be delivered.
The vlog, filmed during a visit coinciding with a UFC event and the 250th anniversary of American independence, has drawn sharp criticism online. Many viewers accused Kai of arrogance and treating the White House as her personal home. Concerns were also raised about her using the presidential space to promote her clothing brand and integrate product placements for a specific beverage.
Critics argue that Kai's actions constitute a misuse of public resources, especially since she does not reside in the White House. The incident has ignited a debate about the appropriate use of official residences and the boundaries between personal and public life for individuals connected to political figures.
Because my grandpa "hates" gold... Just kidding, it's his favorite!
