'Tone Deaf': Trump's Granddaughter Flaunts Secret Service On Luxury Shopping Trip

Kai Trump, granddaughter of the president of the United States, made a video bragging about taking her Secret Service agents on a luxury shopping trip.

In a 20-minute YouTube video titled "I Brought My Secret Service to Erewhon," Kai Trump shared her experience shopping at the upscale grocery chain.

"Alright, guys, well, welcome back to the channel," the MAGA influencer began. "Right now, we are in Erewhon, which is in LA. This is to be an Erewhon video. and everything I get from Erewhon... Erewhon is the most expensive grocery store, pretty much out there. Everything's crazy expensive."

At one point, the president's granddaughter joked that the shipping trip was so expensive that she would have to "file for bankruptcy."

The spree came as a war in Iran started by Kai Trump's grandfather was causing gas prices to spike to over $3 a gallon in many states.

Commenters on X blasted her for the "tone deaf" shopping trip.

"Time to enlist, girly," one person wrote.

"Give me a break. Put a uniform on," Tracey Gallagher agreed.

Mike’s Blog Round-Up

If you're a fan of 28 Days Later, Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland, World War Z, The Walking Dead or any other zombie apocalypse movie or TV show, you can thank prolific science fiction and horror writer Richard Matheson for getting the modern, zombie apocalypse genre kick started with his 1954 novel, "I Am Legend". Like zombies themselves, the core ideas of the novel -- a global zombie plague, hordes of infected creatures threatening the last survivors, a quasi-scientific explanation for the disaster -- keep right on mutating and rising again to scare the crap out of audience, and the very first adaptation of the novel hit theaters on this day in 1964. It starred Vincent Price and Emma Danieli.

Matheson said the idea came when he was thinking about vampire stories like Dracula and wondered: what if there were just one vampire left in the modern world? Then he flipped the idea: what if there were one normal man left in a world full of vampires?
