Kai Trump is making her mark at the intersection of golf and fashion. The eldest granddaughter of President Donald Trump unveiled her new clothing brand this week and showcased one of its signature pieces at the 2025 Ryder Cup, standing proudly alongside her grandfather.
On Friday, Kai arrived at the renowned Bethpage Black golf course in New York wearing a white sweatshirt featuring her own “KT” logo. Priced at $130, the sweatshirt includes her signature on the sleeve, highlighting her personal touch on the apparel.
However, the internet quickly reacted to Kai Trump’s brand logo. Many accused her of “stealing” the American Eagle brand logo.
One X user joked, “Seeing as how the president’s granddaughter violated Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act by implying a gov’t endorsement, misused federal property under 5 CFR § 2635.704 by staging merch promos at the White House, and is over 14, the National Guard should arrest her immediately.”
Another chimed in, “The logos look a little similar, but they’re in different fonts and that’s not actionable. The real question is why anyone would want to wear a Kai Trump sweatshirt.”
A different user added, “The United States of Grifting and lying. I don’t fault this young lady at this time. If you grow up around grifters and liars, that is what you will become. Simple math.”
Kai Trump’s debut marks an important milestone for the senior at The Benjamin School in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. She is set to take her talents to the University of Miami next fall, where she plans to continue playing golf, according to a Hola report.
The “KT” collection was first introduced just a day earlier via her Instagram account, with the White House serving as a striking backdrop for the announcement. She shared her excitement with followers, writing, “This collection is something I’ve dreamed about for a long time, and I’m so grateful it’s finally here.”
She added, “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!”
