Kai Trump says she prefers to ‘stay out of politics completely’ in new interview
As per Sportico’s 2026 ESPYs interview, Kai Trump was asked about sports and politics. The interviewer brought up America 250 and the UFC event at the White House. Kai replied, “Honestly, I kind of stay out of politics completely.” She added, “It’s just not my thing.” Instead, she liked “showing my life” and showing people that athletes can do more. The golfer also wanted the new generation to see “my progress.”
Meanwhile, Kai still answered when the conversation returned to Donald Trump’s sports push. The interviewer said her grandfather had done “a very good job” of integrating sports. Kai again said, “I kind of stay out of politics completely.” However, she called the UFC event “great” and “really cool.” She also said having veterans present helped connect the event to the 250 theme. That answer kept her close to sports while avoiding a direct political lane.
Still, the clip became a point of reaction online. Sportico’s post said Kai was “staying out of politics” and inspiring female golfers. A comment under the post mocked one line from her interview. The user quoted, “So Politics are cool when it advances her career?” Another comment asked, “How you got to where you are today? born into a billionaire family?” For context, she wore a gold dress at the 2026 ESPYs. Kai recently graduated from high school and will attend the University of Miami to play women’s golf. For Kai Trump, the political answer became the red-carpet moment.
