In the clip she shops with Secret Service and spends hundreds on items, including a $20 sushi plate, a $10 lemonade, a $21 smoothie, a $13 bottle of water, and a $44 protein shaker, joking that she might need to file for bankruptcy and noting she spent $233 for one grocery bag. Critics, including Democratic strategist Mike Nellis, call it an embarrassing self-own and contrast the shopping spree with her grandfather\u2019s policies and the economy. The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >article highlights social-media reactions<\/a>, with users calling the video obscene, and notes that she ends by urging viewers to like and subscribe to recoup her money. It also places the moment in the broader context of her public presence, including her golf-related appearances and a 2024 Republican National Convention speech, and mentions her previous comments about Republicans and Democrats meeting in the middle.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Kai Trump gets heat for bringing Secret Service during Erewhon trip in video<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2527190\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Kai Trump is receiving scrutiny over her latest YouTube video, in which she visits Erewhon, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/heres-everything-the-media-is-ignoring-from-the-hunter-biden-icloud-leak\/\" title=\"Here&#039;s Everything the Media is Ignoring From the Hunter Biden iCloud Leak\">high-end grocery store<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\">Donald Trump&rsquo;s<\/a> granddaughter began her YouTube channel in October 2024 and has 1.45 million subscribers. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BDa8__sXB3o\">Her newest video<\/a> shows her visiting Erewhon, &ldquo;the most expensive grocery store pretty much out there&rdquo; in <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/los-angeles\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"1221\">Los Angeles<\/a>, where she spends $233 &ldquo;for one grocery bag.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/entertainment\/4485420\/james-talarico-non-christians-bible-teachings-resurfaced-clip\/\">Talarico says he&#8217;s met non-Christians who &#8217;embody&#8217; Bible&#8217;s teachings better in resurfaced clip<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/entertainment\/4484996\/jafar-panahi-jon-stewart-refute-us-fascism-claims-joe-concha\/\">Iranian filmmaker&#8217;s testimony to Jon Stewart refutes US &#8216;fascism&#8217; claims: Joe Concha<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/entertainment\/4484550\/gavin-newsom-president-2028-joe-concha\/\">Gavin Newsom won&#8217;t be Democratic nominee for president in 2028: Joe Concha<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Some of the items Kai Trump purchases in the video include a $20 sushi plate, a $10 lemonade drink, a $21 smoothie, a $13 bottle of water, and a $44 protein shaker bottle.
