Donald Trump’s 18-year-old granddaughter Kai Trump just shared a bunch of new photos to celebrate a big day. She seems so happy and excited in the snaps, but some fans noticed she might be subtly hinting that she’s not as close with her grandfather as she once was.
The daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump began her senior year of high school this week, where she marked her last first day of school. That’s a huge milestone!

“I cannot believe it’s my last first day of high school. Senior year here we come 🥹 #friends #senioryear,” Kai wrote on Instagram. She shared several photos from her school parking lot with her friends, dressed in matching blue polo shirts and khaki skirts. All the girls drew cute art on their windows to celebrate senior year, smiling and posing to show off their cars. Kai posed next to an Audi in one snap and a Cadillac SUV in others, which included references to “The U,” the nickname for the University of Miami where the teen was accepted to play golf for in the 26-27 school year.

Neither of these cars — or any of the cars her friends posed next to — were the Cybertruck that was a gift from President Trump. Back in March, Tesla CEO Elon Musk delivered to five cars to Trump at the White House, where he revealed that he gifted his eldest granddaughter a Tesla.
“I bought for a very special young woman, you know, I’m sure you’ve never heard of her, Kai,’ he said, per Daily Mail. “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.”
In the comments, people noticed that Kai isn’t driving a Tesla at all anymore. “Looks like she’s not driving the Elon vehicle anymore lol,” one person wrote.
Scroll down Kai’s Instagram grid far enough, and you’ll see pictures of Kai driving a Cybertruck to her homecoming in Oct. 2024. Maybe it was just a rental? Maybe she just got tired of it and traded it out for something else? Or maybe, it’s a sign that Kai isn’t as close to her grandpa as she once was and is starting to shift away this fall.
Of course, teens are notorious for changing their minds, and it could be that Kai just wants to drive a different car right now. After all, last month, she opened up about how much she has “loved playing golf with [Donald] her whole life” in an interview on Fox & Friends.
“He really just taught me to keep on fighting and keep on practicing,” she added.
