Just about everything in Dallas is “fire,” according to President Donald Trump’s eldest grandchild, Kai Trump.

Kai is the oldest child of Donald Trump Jr. and ex-wife Vanessa, who is now dating Tiger Woods. Being that she has recently come into adulthood, we still don’t know much about Kai yet. But as is typical with presidential relatives, like Dallas' very own Bush twins, and Sasha and Malia Obama, they often take a spotlight of their own.

Her YouTube channel, however, offers a portal into her life as part of one of the most polarizing families in the world. Her videos chronicle things like her 18th birthday party, the president taking her to a UFC fight and a tour of “the secret residence of The White House.” Normal teenage vlogger stuff. We will say, considering Jr. is her dad, she seems like a surprisingly pleasant, well-mannered young woman.

Kai, joined by her best friend Emma, begins the video titled “48 Hours in TEXAS with my BEST FRIEND,” telling viewers she would be showing us the “boujee” side of Texas versus the “country” side of Texas. And spoiler alert, the member of a literal billionaire family never steps foot in the “country” side of North Texas. You probably already surmised that, though. But she did visit a few good small businesses.

First up on her itinerary is Wild Bill’s Western Store in the West End, where the duo was on a mission to find cowboy boots. They perused the aisles and were sticker shocked by the idea that a pair of boots would be $500, likely without any idea that’s nowhere near the high range for a good pair of boots in Texas. After a failed search for American flag boots, her friend settled on a bedazzled rhinestone pair, which Kai deemed “fire.” The first granddaughter did find an American flag cowboy hat, though.

Credit where it’s due, the girls know good barbecue. They headed over to Terry Black’s for lunch and were quick fans, each giving the ribs a rating of 9 out of 10. Kai didn’t try the sides, but her friend Emma ordered them from best to worst in a ranking of: 1. mac and cheese, 2. creamed corn, 3. rice, 4. beans and 5. potato salad. She also said banana pudding was the best part of the meal.

Unsurprisingly, Highland Park Village was an obligatory stop on the Dallas trip. “This is the boujee side of Dallas … or Texas in general,” Kai told the camera. In between popping into stores like Richard Mille and Rag & Bone, Kai posed for photos with people who we would guess have to be fervent supporters of her grandfather, at least to a degree where they recognize one of the grandchildren passing by on the street. As they made their way out of the high-end shopping center, she casually mentioned she owns two Rolex watches. 

The pair also hit Sneaker Haven in Mockingbird Station, where she picked up a pair of gray and white Nike Dunk Lows and quipped that she would autograph a Labubu and resell it. So, start moving your Trump meme coins (?) around for that bid.

A somewhat surprising stop on her trip was Dallas Market Center (maybe we're plebs for assuming she would go to NorthPark), where she dropped in on RW Fine Jewelry. She made out with a hand chain, a tennis necklace, earrings and a matching heart-shaped “friendship necklace” with her friend that looks very similar to the jewelry maker’s Georgie Diamond Heart Necklace, which starts at $1,600 each.

Kai’s vlog ends with a courtside POV from the Dallas Wings’ attendance record-breaking game against the Indiana Fever at American Airlines Center on June 27. The Wings lost, and based on Kai’s one-percenter scope of the best that Dallas has to offer, we kinda did, too.
