Despite just being 17 years old, Donald Trump’s granddaughter seems to embrace her role as a budding MAGA influencer, posting well-made videos on social media about how much fun she has spending time with her beloved, president-elect grandfather.
However, Kai Trump can only do so much to improve the perception of a man who has been likened by critics to the most dangerous fascists in history, who frequently uses slurs and foul language, and whose election was challenged by about 74,406,000 Americans (compared to Harris’ 76,883,000).
The teenage golf prodigy’s most recent video, which was released on Tuesday, also featured Grandpa appearing somewhat uncomfortable during his attendance at Elon Musk’s SpaceX launch last week.
After asking Musk if a rocket booster can be reused after it crashed into the Gulf of Mexico in a flame, Trump is seen putting Musk into an unpleasant spiral in one of the most embarrassing moments of Kai Trump’s behind-the-scenes footage, according to the Daily Beast.
According to the Daily Beast, Trump accompanied Musk, his biggest campaign donor and alleged new expert counselor on government efficiency, to witness the most recent test flight of his Starship rocket system last week. Kai Trump and her close friend accompanied Trump for the event, along with Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Kai Trump’s father, Donald Trump Jr.
According to the Daily Beast, Musk, a NASA contractor as well, intended to demonstrate President Trump the amazing maneuver that one of his Starship rocket ships performed in October. After it made the exact maneuvers required to return to the launch site, the rocket’s Super Heavy booster was successfully captured by enormous mechanical arms protruding from the launch tower, according to SpaceNews.com.
According to SpaceNews.com, the rocket successfully launched the Nov. 19 Starship from the SpaceX Starbase test site in Boca Chica, Texas, at 5 p.m. About two minutes and forty-five seconds after liftoff, its booster detached from the vehicle’s upper stage. The controllers declared a booster offshore divert a little over a minute after the booster began to return to the launch site, indicating that it would crash into the Gulf of Mexico rather than return to the launch pad.
According to the Daily Beast, a major component of SpaceX’s strategy to reduce the price of each $100 million Starship flight by half has been making the boosters reusable.
The moments when Musk told Trump, “We had some concerns about the tower so it was commanded to land out at sea,” were captured on Kai Trump’s footage, which she also posts as a YouTube vlog.
The footage, which shows Kai Trump standing close by, shows Trump seeming unusually silent and possibly awestruck because he obviously didn’t understand what the billionaire was saying.
That’s because Trump mumbled, “Awesome,” in response. “Can they use that again?” the former reality TV star then asked Musk. Is it possible to obtain it from the sea?
According to the Daily Beast, Musk seemed to make a double take and even give the president-elect a sidelong glance. Musk said clumsily, “Oh, it’s going to be.” It’s most likely going to explode up. My guess is that.
Cruz, who was standing next to Trump, rushed in to help hide Trump’s query by persuading Musk that he already had improved boosters in production, one of which was ready for use. “There you have it,” Cruz added.
According to other news reports and Kai Trump’s video, Trump didn’t say anything further that day. Despite spending the weeks since the election practically together in Mar-a-Lago, a report in The Telegraph confirmed the opinion that Trump and Musk’s trip to the SpaceX rocket launch was unpleasant for both men.
According to Darren Stanton, a former police officer and body language specialist, Trump did look like a fish out of water and was terrified by Musk during the Starship test flight.
Stanton told The Telegraph that Trump didn’t display any of his power gestures or alpha male demeanor at the occasion. Trump was rather uncomfortable because he generally comes across as the most strong, dominant male in the room. Stanton stated, “I believe he is really intimidated by Musk.” His hands were like a mannequin by his side, and he was out of his depth.
It’s difficult to accept that Kai Trump wanted her grandfather to appear to be out of his depth. In another claim, Eboni Boykin-Pattersons, an entertainment journalist for the Daily Beast, stated that Kai Trump, whose mother is Vanessa Trump, had assumed a job in Trumpworld that was formerly occupied by her aunt, Ivanka Trump. “She has become the photogenic young female relative who tries to sanitize Trump’s image since Kai Trump spoke at the Republican National Convention to show the side of my grandpa that people don’t often see,” Boykin-Patterson added.
Boykin-Patterson stated that earlier in her video, Kai Trump made lighthearted fun of her grandfather while simultaneously providing her 2.6 million followers with some of the aspirational content that people seek on social media. The teenager and her friend spent a few moments filming a TikTok video in which they imitated her grandfather’s golf swing and his meme-inspired campaign dance steps, set to the Village People’s YMCA, as she gleefully displayed the opulent facilities on Trump’s private jet.
According to The Daily Beast, Kai Trump’s posts have led to a more straightforward and cheerful view of Trump, who she characterizes as a diligent worker for all Americans. The girl often posts slideshows of her 78-year-old grandfather with broad smiles to her fans. “And you’d think he’d never tried to overturn an election if that’s all you see of this amiable, devoted grandfather,” Boykin-Patterson wrote.
