Kai Trump detailed her five year plan.

What does matter to Kai is golf. The teen will begin her freshman year at Miami in August and has dreams of one day earning her LPGA card as part of her five-year plan.

One family passion not in her plan is politics.

Kai has been adamant about avoiding her grandfather's career path and feels no animosity between her Republican party family and Democrats on the other side of the aisle, wishing both parties could learn to compromise.

"To be honest with you, I stay out of politics completely," Kai confessed during an appearance on Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast.

"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 plans to stay far away from politics.

Admitting she's more like her mom, Vanessa, than her very politically active father and grandpa, Kai blamed social media for the "extremes" on both the left and the right.

"I think there's a lot of there's 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 explained.

"And there's not a lot of 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."
