Kai Trump Sparks Debate Promoting Clothing Line at White House

Kai Trump, granddaughter of President Donald Trump, has launched a personal clothing line featuring $130 sweatshirts emblazoned with her initials and has used the White House as a backdrop for her promotional photoshoot. The 18-year-old high school golfer and social media influencer combined her passion for golf and fashion in the campaign, which included her modeling the merchandise at the Ryder Cup and golfing on the White House grounds. While some observers praised her entrepreneurial spirit and business mindset, others criticized the use of the White House for commercial promotion and the high price of the apparel, sparking accusations of impropriety and grifting. This development continues a pattern of the Trump family leveraging their political prominence for business ventures, leading to ongoing public scrutiny over conflicts of interest. Kai's launch reflects a broader trend seen since President Trump's return to office, where merchandising and personal branding have been aggressively pursued by the family within official premises. The controversy underscores the blurred lines between public service and private profit in the Trump administration's approach to family business activities.
