Kai Trump, granddaughter of former President Donald Trump, celebrated her 18th birthday on May 12. She marked the occasion by posting a TikTok video that quickly gained attention. In the video, Kai and three friends posed and lip-synched to the song “Promiscuous” by Nelly Furtado.
Kai wore a strapless black dress, black tights, and black booties. Her friends were also dressed in all-black outfits. The TikTok, captioned “Last day being 17,” has been viewed more than 1.5 million times.
It has received dozens of comments, with many users expressing admiration for her grandfather, the 47th president. “Tell your grandpa he’s the GOAT. Much respect for your family,” one person commented.
However, some viewers criticized the song choice as inappropriate for the occasion. One commenter stated, “Cringe. Kai, don’t sink to the levels of your peers.
This is not giving the impression you think it is.”
Defenders of the video pointed out that the girls were simply “cute teenage girls goofing around” and saw nothing negative about it.
