We have a new grifting Trump. Meet Kai Trump. Trump's granddaughter via Trump Jr.

We have a new grifting Trump.Trump’s granddaughter, Kai who has
just dropped her own line of KT “Merch.”

She and her KT company are using the White House and the Lincoln Memorial to pimp her “Merch.”

https://kaitrump.shop/.

And like all good Trump grifters she had taken in money in “pre-orders” but has yet to ship
out anything.

Having the Trump brand on your clothes will soon be like naming your son Adolf in Germany after 1945.

“This collection is something I’ve dreamed about for a long time, and I’m so grateful it’s finally here. Launching this line has been such an exciting project. From the quality of the fabric to the details in the designs, I wanted to create a piece that isn’t just merch but a staple you can wear anywhere. There are clean pieces you can mix, match, and make your own. I can’t wait to see how you style them!”
– Kai Trump

Trump learned business fraud from his father, and I'm sure his children learned the same from him and are passing the knowledge to their offspring. A whole family of criminals.

33. style a sweatshirt?3. i can think of numerous ways:
Sat Jun 20, 2026, 04:01 PM
1 hr ago

1. unusual flair: wrap it around your hair (like a towel when you get out of the shower) and tie the sleeves at the top of your head like a giant crazy bow

2. preppie look: tie sleeves around the front of your neck and let the shirt part drape down your back

3. don't wear it -- just fling it over one shoulder and hang on to it with your index finger to give you the casually indifferent look

4. wear it around your waist with the sleeves tied together in the front so it hangs down in the back to cover your ass

5. wear it like a sweatshirt and put a tank top over it

6. decorate it with buttons and pins

7. paint it, maybe even tie-dye it and then keep it balled up in the back of a dresser drawer

8. wear it under overalls with a bib and push up the sleeves so you look like you've been working hard. no shoes or sandals

9. buy one a couple sizes too big, wear it with a belt around your waist, a thong, and high heels

(been waiting for a few towels to dry so this has kept me busy for awhile )



me? i wear my sweatshirts like they are sweatshirts! and they go perfect with my jeans. lol.

Seems like there was an ivanka line that started out at Macy's, didn't sell, ended up at places like Ross, and still didn't sell, even when reduced to the $5 and under rack, and ultimately stores just trashed them. But maybe I'm thinking of something else?

At $130 a pop retail, with a manufacturing cost of around $6 to $12 per unit in China, that comes out to about hundred bucks profit on each sweatshirt, after shipping and other incidental expenses. Kai will make about a hundred million, and the bulk buyer will receive a multi-billion dollar no-bid government contract.

But she is a social media influencer.

From wiki:

In August 2024, she verbally committed to attend the University of Miami to play collegiate golf as a member of the 2026 signing class.[10]

As of February 2025, Trump reportedly had a name, image, and likeness valuation of $1.2 million, with sponsors including Callaway Golf Company[8] and TaylorMade Golf.[11]

In March 2025, Trump competed in the Junior Invitational. She finished 24th out of 24 participants.[12][13]

Trump accepted an invitation to make her debut on the LPGA Tour in November 2025, at The Annika sponsored by Annika Sörenstam.[14] She shot rounds of 83 and 75 to finish last in a field of 108, and missed the cut.

I do remember she couldn't break 80.
Nobody deserves an exemption to an LPGA if they can't break 80, unless they want to invite Annika about 30 years from now. We can make an exception for the G.O.A.T, and Kai is light-years from that.

Let her profit off the public service of letting us know who populates the shitbag collective. I don't see many (if any) MAGA red hats nor bumper stickers anymore, so knowing who to avoid (like the plague) on first sight is really quite helpful.

What's also funny if you think about it, there's only so much marketshare for Trump branded shit. They're really just siphoning business away from each other. Eventually, the whole thing could blow up into a Springer-esque TikTok shitshow.

"Daddy touched me there when I was 11, Kai. He waited until you were 12, and by then he couldn't get it up." - Ivanka, probably eventually

and then was called back for some branding issues or something.

You'll note that she has a full website, but somehow manages to forget to mention the pricing of her specialty sweatshirts (unless I missed it) even though her FAQ has such questions as "What if I'm charged twice?" Planning ahead much? Last year, as I recall, they were in the $130. - $150. range.

Anyway, you too can own a sweatshirt "designed" by a grifting teenager for the mere price of $130.00! Get one in every color! Buy them by the dozens! Damn...for that price, I want my own initials on it.

Suckers and losers, get your orders in now!

ETA: How does one have a "Shop" when you're selling only one item in three colors?
