President Donald Trump’s 18-year-old granddaughter Kai Trump shared her school spirit in a lavish way.
Kai — whose parents are Donald Trump Jr. and his ex-wife Vanessa Trump — celebrated her impending enrollment at the University of Miami by filling her bedroom full of merch from the school for a series of Instagram photos on Tuesday, May 5. (Kai confirmed she gave a verbal commitment to join Miami’s golf team in August 2024.)
The influencer took advantage of the popular TikTok “bed party” trend, where incoming freshmen decorate their rooms with their school colors to show their commitment to the university.
In a carousel of photos from her bed party, Kai posed with her mom Vanessa and many of her friends, all while repping Miami in its signature colors of orange, white and green.
Kai also shared a brand new vlog on Saturday, May 9, documenting her final days of high school. In the vlog, Kai brings fans along for her graduation rehearsals and hangs out with some fellow college-bound friends.
“This is very sad guys,” she tearfully explained ahead of her final week as a high school senior. “I’ve had a great time in high school. I’ve met a great group of people. Great class and school and everything like that. Now, it’s on to the next chapter. … It’s scary but it’s exciting but it’s sad. It’s like all the emotions in one.”
Kai admitted, “I feel like I’m going back into ninth grade, freshman year. I’d rather start over. … It’s just really sad, and happy! But sad as well.”
The golfer has a promising athletic career ahead of her, as she previously debuted as an amateur on the LPGA Tour in November 2025. (Kai was sponsored as an amateur at The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge tournament in Belleair, Florida.)
Earlier this year, Kai opened up on Logan Paul’s “Impaulsive” podcast about how having Secret Service protection has impacted her high school experience, including dating.
“To be honest with you, it’s really awkward when you’re sitting and going on a date with a guy and they’re two tables behind you,” she revealed in January. “It’s a little weird. I try my best not to let it bother me. Especially the past year, since he’s become President, I’ve had to learn that, yes, they’re following me, but also to focus on pretending that they’re not there.”
Kai added, “Obviously, they are there. But if you can try to not really focus on that and enjoy your time with your friends, your family or whatever it is, it makes it easier.”
She acknowledged that it definitely took some time to adjust to having the Secret Service trailing her on a daily basis.
“For the first few months, it was tough,” she said. “It was not easy having someone following you all the time. But once I was like, ‘Their only job is to protect me. I’m going to focus on my stuff and have them do their job.’ It made it so much easier.”
