Kai Trump Details Her 'Dream Job'
Kai Trump faced backlash from critics for her 'dream job' comments on social media.
"Playing golf, social media, entertaining, creating my own business," she continued. "I think that's my dream job. Traveling the world, meeting new people is probably my dream job."
Some critics in the comments section called her "clueless" and "out of touch" as they pointed out that many of the things she mentioned were just hobbies, while others defended her hopes to turn her passions into a steady stream of income.
Kai Trump's Comments Section Explodes
Kai Trump said she wants to create content and golf as a part of her 'dream' career.
One Instagram user jabbed, "So basically unemployed. Wonderful dream," and another said, "So just having fun and recording it."
A third person chimed in, "Sorry honey. I love you. But that’s not a job."
Meanwhile, others came to her defense.
One said, "She could be a professional golf player, YouTuber and influencer. If she earn money it's a job," as a separate user retorted, "She doesn’t need a job because she’s going to live being her own boss. She’s not working class."
Kai Trump Has Zero Interest in Politics
Kai Trump confirmed she is not interested in politics.
Whatever the 18-year-old ends up doing with her life, she's not likely to follow in her grandfather's footsteps.
"To be honest with you, I stay out of politics completely," she said during an appearance on Jake Paul's Impaulsive podcast back in January. "I don’t want anything to do with politics because I feel like politics is such a dangerous thing, and I think if both sides met in the middle, everyone will be so much happier."
"Honestly, that goes for anything. Goes for politics, anything in life. Friendships, like if you get in a fight with someone and try to see their side and meet in the middle," she added. "It's all the same thing at the end of the day, and people don't realize that."
She also claimed there are "a lot of people that get too extreme" all across the political spectrum, theorizing this could be because there is less social media content for those squarely sitting in the middle ground of both parties.

Like Mother, Like Daughter?
Kai Trump said she has a similar temperament to her mother, Vanessa.
Kai also revealed whether she felt she was more like her mother, Vanessa Trump, or her father, Donald Trump Jr.
Don Jr., 48, and Vanessa, also 48, tied the knot in 2005 and welcomed two children together through their roughly 13-year marriage. They divorced in 2018.
Reflecting on her mom, the teenager said they're very similar in temperament.
"Like, she's very calm. She's very chill. She likes hearing people out," she explained at the time. "And then obviously my dad, you know, I love him, but he just goes to war online. I'm sure you guys have seen his tweets and his Instagram and whatnot."
