Kai Trump isn't interested in hearing anything from trolls online, RadarOnline.com can reveal, as she is making it clear she knows the "type of person I am."
The 18-year-old has found herself in hot water over her recent "tone-deaf" social media posts, all while Americans struggle to make ends meet.
'I Just Stay Away From It'
Kai Trump clapped back at her trolls who have been raging at the teen.
In a resurfaced interview, Kai hit back at her critics, despite receiving plenty of backlash for her behavior on social media.
"I just stay away from it," the teen confirmed during an interview on her aunt's show, My View with Lara Trump. "It doesn't really affect me because, I don't know, I know who I am.
"It doesn't really matter, to be honest. People say whatever they want to say at the end of the day. I know what's true, and I know the type of person I am. It doesn’t really matter."
The heat came after Kai took to TikTok to post a clip of herself lip-syncing and showing off her outfit. In the short clip, Kai stood inside her Palm Beach, Florida, bedroom, while wearing a light blue halter crop top and white pleated shorts.
Kai, who is President Trump's eldest grandchild, mouthed along to the Mama Mia movie soundtrack version of Abba's Gimme Gimme Gimme, as she wrote in the caption, "The greatest movie ever."
Kai Trump Labeled 'Out of Touch'
The 18-year-old's social media posts have been labeled 'tone-deaf.'
However, critics weren't happy with her TikTok, especially given that the country is in the midst of a war and Americans continue to struggle financially.
"So out of touch," one person blasted, as another added, "This entire family simply cannot read the room."
A user raged, "She's ridiculously entitled," and one went off, "You are way too tone-deaf."
Kai was also unable to avoid the wrath of social media when she praised Belarusian tennis star Aryna Sabalenka ahead of her match with American Coco Gauff, as many accused the teenager of being "un-American."
Kai Trump Stays Out of Politics
Kai Trump is the eldest grandchild of the president.
"Rooting for a Belarusian over a fellow American. What a disgrace," one person reacted. Another added, "Have always been a fan of Aryna, but have to support our Americans in the finals. Team Coco at the Miami Open."
Meanwhile, despite her grandfather having a knack for being divisive and causing a storm, Kai has admitted she prefers to stay out of that arena.
"To be honest with you, I stay out of politics completely," Kai confessed during a Tuesday, January 6, appearance on Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast.
She explained, "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."

The teen has made it clear she stays out of politics, unlike the rest of her family.
Kai then played the middle part and added, "There's a lot of radical left, there's radical right. And there's a lot of people that get too extreme. And that's where social media really ties into it because social media kind of makes your Instagram or your feed or whatever kind of either be really one way or the other."
She added, "There's not a lot of things on social media where you're very much in the middle. And I think that's kind of makes some people crazy, and some people buy into it too much. I think that's like the best way to say it."
