Donald Trump has sparked a wave of reactions on social media after revealing an extravagant gift he gave to his granddaughter, Kai Trump.
The former U.S. president disclosed that he purchased a Tesla Cybertruck for the 17-year-old, a gift that has generated considerable attention online.
The Tesla Cybertruck, a highly anticipated and futuristic vehicle, ranges in price from $81,985 to $101,985, according to Car and Driver. Trump shared that he bought the truck for Kai about a year ago, and it has quickly become her favorite. Kai, who is set to play golf at the University of Miami, even posed with the silver vehicle before attending her school’s homecoming dance in October 2024.
In a video shared by Daily Mail, Trump could be heard speaking about the purchase, calling Kai a “very special young woman.” He added, “She’s a great golfer, and she puts the clubs in the back, and I guess it’s a very safe deal, she loves it.”
The announcement has divided opinions across social media platforms. Some users expressed admiration for the generous gift, with one Instagram commenter writing, “Omg,” and another on Facebook saying, “What a lucky granddaughter.” Others, however, were less impressed, with one commenter noting, “The most humble gift I’ve ever seen… he could have gifted her a Lamborghini urus.”
On Twitter, opinions continued to vary. One user suggested Trump might be using the gift to promote Tesla, saying, “Seems like Trump’s got a pretty unique way of promoting Tesla!” While others questioned the choice, asking, “What teenage girl wants a Cybertruck?”
Despite the mixed reactions, Kai Trump has shown nothing but love and admiration for her grandfather. She has publicly spoken about their close relationship, sharing pictures on Instagram of their golf outings and moments spent together. In one post, she wrote, “You inspire us all. I love you Grandpa .”
Kai also gave a heartfelt speech at the Republican National Convention in July 2024, describing her grandfather as “a normal grandpa” who cares deeply about his family and his country. She recalled how Trump celebrated her academic achievements and playful moments during their golf games, saying, “I’m a Trump, too,” in response to his attempts to get into her head.
As the gift continues to stir debate, it’s clear that the bond between Donald Trump and his granddaughter remains strong.
