Kai Trump is feeling all the emotions as her high school days come to an end — and the president’s granddaughter couldn’t hold back the tears while opening up about the “scary” next chapter in her life.
The 18-year-old granddaughter of President Donald Trump broke down sobbing in a new YouTube vlog while reflecting on her final week as a senior at The Benjamin School in Jupiter, Florida.
“This is not the normal way I start my vlogs,” Kai said while sitting makeup-free in bed beside one of her closest friends before her voice suddenly cracked with emotion.
“I normally don’t cry. Like, I’m not a very emotional person, but it’s very sad because these are the people I’ve been with since eighth grade and since I moved to Florida,” she tearfully admitted.
The emotional moment hit hard as clips played of Kai laughing and hanging out with her tight-knit friend group during what may be their final days together before college changes everything.
Kai moved from New York to Florida with her mom, Vanessa Trump, after Vanessa’s divorce from Donald Trump Jr. The teen explained that while a few of her closest friends will also attend the University of Miami, others are heading off to different schools.
“But we’re all splitting up now, and it’s really sad,” Kai said before becoming too emotional to continue speaking, asking her friend to take over the vlog for a moment.
The social media personality later gathered herself and reflected on how quickly the past four years flew by.
“This is literally our last week of high school ever,” she said. “I’ve had a great time in high school. I’ve met a great group of people, great classes, and school, and everything like that.”
Kai admitted she feels completely torn about graduating, calling the experience both “exciting” and “sad” at the same time.
“It’s on to the next chapter. And it’s scary, but it’s exciting, but it’s sad. It’s like all the emotions in one,” she explained.
The emotional vlog also showed Kai and her classmates celebrating their final week with classic senior traditions, including a messy prank day where students covered the campus in silly string, toilet paper, and Solo cups.
Kai also shared the emotional moment she tried on her graduation cap and gown for the first time, proudly showing it off to her mom, who appeared emotional seeing her daughter ready to graduate.
The future University of Miami student also decorated T-shirts with her college logo alongside her friends as they prepared to officially close the chapter on high school life.
The week wrapped up with one final wild tradition as seniors jumped into the school’s lake on floaties and swam across the water — although Kai admitted the lake was “really gross.”
For Kai, though, the hardest part may not be graduation itself — it’s saying goodbye to the people who helped shape some of the biggest years of her life.
