During a bombshell new interview this week, Kai Trump provided an insight into what her grandfather, Donald Trump, is really like behind closed doors.

The 18-year-old shared her thoughts during an appearance on Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast this week, where she had her say on the 'radical left' and the 'radical right', and touched on the possibility of the Republican frontman running for a third term.

For those unfamiliar with Kai, she is the daughter of Trump's eldest son Donald Jr and his ex-wife Vanessa, and the President's eldest grandchild. Like the politician, the teenager has a key eye for golf, and has also created quite the name for herself on social media.

Kai's YouTube channel, which boasts over 1.4 million subscribers, sees the aspiring athlete sharing make-up content, daily life vlogs, and 'behind the scenes' style videos.

Since her grandfather was inaugurated into the White House for a second time last January, her following has grown, and this week, she was invited to appear on Logan Paul's controversial podcast.

During the show, the host recounted one of his encounters with Trump, revealing he once enjoyed a 'face-off' with the right-wing leader for one of his early TikTok videos, after which the politician had a delicious meal whipped up for him.

"He's very cool," Paul gushed. "Way cooler than I thought he would be. The way I described him was, like, similar to the way you [Kai] described him - it's like, 'Oh, he's a cool grandpa'."

Kai then jumped in to confirm: "He's literally just a cool grandpa."

Though the youngster has rarely discussed her grandfather's political views with the public, insisting again in the episode that she prefers to 'stay out of politics', her remark seemed to somewhat echo a comment she previously gave about Trump's support for his family.

Ahead of her LPGA Tour debut in November, she told press that the President had offered her some words of advice.

"My grandpa pretty much told me to go out there and have fun. Just don't get nervous," Kai recalled at the time. "To me he's just a normal grandpa.

"He's not coming this weekend. He's running the world right now, so a little busy."

As mentioned, despite her grandfather's divisive politics, during this week's podcast, Kai went on to insist she's not a leftie or a rightie - no matter how much that might enrage some MAGA voters.

"I'd never run... I don't want anything to do with politics because I feel like politics is such a dangerous thing," she continued. "I think if both sides had met in the middle everyone would be so much more happier.

"There's radical left, radical right, there's a lot of people who get too extreme."

Kai added: "That's where social media really ties into it because social media makes your feed either be one way or another.

"There's not a lot of things on social media where you're very much in the middle, I think that kind of makes some people crazy and some people buy into it too much, I think that's the best way to say it."

On Kamala Harris' unsuccessful 2024 run against Trump, the teenager went on to say: "There's no bad blood, I'm very much in the middle, it is what it is, they ran against each other, obviously I'm going to support my grandpa, my family member."

Asked about the possibility of her grandfather running for a third term, she 'sadly' agreed it was 'unlikely' - and currently, unconstitutional - but added: "A lot could happen until 2028."
