Kai Trump is turning her famous last name into a growing social media empire — but not everyone is cheering her latest money move.
The 19-year-old granddaughter of President Donald Trump revealed a new partnership with Accelerator Active Energy, launching her own signature Blue Raz Slush flavor.
The young golfer rolled out a bright blue-themed campaign to promote the drink, posing in a matching blue athletic outfit with her blonde hair pulled back, dangling earrings, and a shiny heart-shaped pendant around her neck.
In a promotional video, Kai said the drink reminded her of a childhood favorite.
“It kind of tastes like the slushies you get at the movie theater, which growing up was like my favorite thing,” she said.
Kai also hyped the product on Instagram, telling fans her new flavor was inspired by the blue raspberry slushies she loved as a kid — only this version is “cleaner,” has zero sugar, and is packed with energy.
“So much hard work went into this process to create this flavor and I’m so excited to share it with you!!” she wrote. “It’s SOOO good.”
But the internet did not exactly give her a standing ovation.
Almost immediately, critics pounced on the deal and accused Kai of using her family’s political fame to cash in.
“A trust fund baby capitalizing on her granddad’s presidency,” one person snapped in the comments.
Another critic was even harsher, writing: “This little girl is a grifter.”
The backlash comes as Kai continues to build her online brand far beyond just being a member of the Trump family. While her grandfather built a real estate and political empire, Kai appears to be carving out her own lane through golf, social media, and influencer-style partnerships.
Still, not everyone was bothered by the business move.
Some fans praised the partnership, especially because Accelerator Active Energy has also teamed up with social media star and former college gymnast Livvy Dunne.
“Livvy Dunne and Kai Trump…. Nothing can get better,” one supporter wrote.
Dunne, 23, recently partnered with the brand for a National Olivia Day promotion, offering people named Olivia a chance to get a $2 refund after buying a can of Accelerator at participating retailers.
Zach Schotz, vice president of marketing at Accelerator Active Energy, said the promotion was meant to be “fun and community-driven,” adding that Dunne’s nickname made it a natural fit for the campaign.
Kai’s rise has been fueled in part by the Trump name, but her content is far less political than her family’s headline-grabbing world.
Instead, she has leaned heavily into golf, posting regular content about her life on the course and building a growing following on Instagram and YouTube.
She is also set to attend the University of Miami in the fall, where she is expected to play on the women’s golf team.
Kai has even appeared on Logan Paul’s podcast, where she talked about what it is like to live with Secret Service protection. However, she avoided diving into hot-button political comments.
For now, Kai seems focused on turning her golf lifestyle and famous last name into a full-blown influencer brand.
But as her latest deal proves, every move she makes is bound to spark a fight online.
