Kai Trump Reveals Big New Milestone in Photos That Show a Subtle Shift From Grandpa Donald Trump
The daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump began her senior year of high school this week, where she marked her last first day of school. That's a huge milestone!

'I cannot believe it's my last first day of high school. Senior year here we come 🥹 #friends #senioryear,' Kai wrote on Instagram. She shared several photos from her school parking lot with her friends, dressed in matching blue polo shirts and khaki skirts. All the girls drew cute art on their windows to celebrate senior year, smiling and posing to show off their cars. Kai posed next to an Audi in one snap and a Cadillac SUV in others, which included references to 'The U,' the nickname for the University of Miami where the teen was accepted to play golf for in the 26-27 school year.
Neither of these cars — or any of the cars her friends posed next to — were the Cybertruck that was a gift from President Trump. Back in March, Tesla CEO Elon Musk delivered to five cars to Trump at the White House, where he revealed that he gifted his eldest granddaughter a Tesla.
'I bought for a very special young woman, you know, I'm sure you've never heard of her, Kai,' he said, per Daily Mail. 'She's a great golfer and she puts the clubs in the back, and I guess it's a very safe deal, she loves it.'
In the comments, people noticed that Kai isn't driving a Tesla at all anymore. 'Looks like she's not driving the Elon vehicle anymore lol,' one person wrote.
Scroll down Kai's Instagram grid far enough, and you'll see pictures of Kai driving a Cybertruck to her homecoming in Oct. 2024. Maybe it was just a rental? Maybe she just got tired of it and traded it out for something else? Or maybe, it's a sign that Kai isn't as close to her grandpa as she once was and is starting to shift away this fall.
Of course, teens are notorious for changing their minds, and it could be that Kai just wants to drive a different car right now. After all, last month, she opened up about how much she has 'loved playing golf with [Donald] her whole life' in an interview on Fox & Friends.
'He really just taught me to keep on fighting and keep on practicing,' she added.Best of SheKnows

Pulisic Controversy Has Turned Into A USMNT Off-The-Field Soap Opera
From now until the end of the 2026 World Cup, there will be an intriguing generational competition concerning the U.S. Men's National Team. No, not inside the team, but heroes of the past and the current squad. It has turned into an interesting off-the-field, he-said, he-said soap opera. The most recent bruhaha came after U.S. standout Christian Pulisic decided to sit out the team's involvement in the Concacaf Gold Cup, saying that he needed a rest after a grueling Serie A season for A.C. Milan. He got slammed by critics, including former USMNT stars that have a voice on TV, streaming, podcasts and blogs. His critics have included Landon Donovan, Alexi Lalas and Tony Meola, among others, who have shared their thoughts, opinions and analysis. Donovan makes his point "This is what it means to represent your country," Donovan said on the FOX broadcast of the UEFA Nations League final in June. He then citied Portugal superstar Ronaldo, who is 40 years old. "He's played a long season. He's tired," Donovan added. "He's out there grinding, hurt himself in the process. And I can't help but think about some of our guys on vacation, not wanting to play in the Gold Cup. It's p---ing me off." It should be noted that Donovan took time off from the national team in 2013. Pulisic makes his point In the latest episode of the docuseries PULISIC, the talented forward claimed that his critics 'disrespected me in a lot of ways, and just completely forgotten about what I've done for this national team." Pulisic, who turns 27 on Sept. 18, made his international debut in 2016. He has become the team's talisman, making 78 appearances while scoring 32 goals, a current team high. "To talk about my commitment? The commitment that I've given to this game? That I've given to my national team, you know, for 10 years?" said on docuseries. "I have paid the price. That's the only thing that starts to get on my nerves. But to be honest, it just fuels me to get back on the field and just shut everyone up and show everyone what I'm about, at the end of the day." Weah isn't happy Wait! It doesn't stop with Pulisic. USMNT teammate Tim Weah, who recently completed a transfer from Juventus to Marseille, called the former players who have dared to criticize the team as "evil." That's right, evil. "I think those guys are chasing checks, and for me, I just feel like they're really evil, honestly, because they've been players and they know what it's like when you're getting bashed," Weah said. Those are the same guys that'll turn around and shake your hand and try to be friends with you at the end of the day. "Don't get me wrong, I respect all of them. They were players that I looked up to. But quite frankly, the guys before us didn't win anything, either." Well, the earlier generations did set the table for the current team. Meola, for example, backstopped the U.S. in its first World Cup appearance in 40 years in 1990. But we'll have to do a U.S. soccer history in another piece. Mark Pulisic defends his son It should not come as a surprise that Pulisic's father, Mark, a former pro soccer player himself, backed his son. "These guys want clicks," he said. "On social media, it's 'subscribe to my channels, listen to my podcasts,' or whatever. I think they should look in the mirror and look at their last performances for the national team before they start talking s#@t." Lalas' response Those remarks opened the door for a response from Lalas on Fox and Meola on the Call It What You Want podcast on CBS Sports. Lalas wrote "don't bring your dad to a fight. I get that Mark Pulisic, like other dads out there, has been involved directly in bringing up, in this case, Christian. I get that he's a former coach. But who brings their dad to a fight? If you're angry at me or Landon or anybody else that is being critical of you, that's fine. You have a platform, you have a microphone – some would say bigger than anybody else out there – to get that off your chest, but you don't need to bring your dad. "Never once has it even occurred to have my father defend me from the slings and arrows that are inevitable but well done. You got me to watch, and you got exactly what you wanted." Meola has his say Meola and Mark Pulisic were teammates on the Oceanside Navahos team that captured the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association Boys Under-19 crown in 1987. Pulisic scored twice that day, including a late game-winner in a 2-1 triumph over B.W. Gottschee. 'I've been friends with Mark Pulisic for a long time. We played together at the youth level. You gotta stay out, Mark," Meola said. 'I know you're a dad, I know you get emotional, your kid is at the top of the heap, right? I've got other friends in other major sports in America that their kids right now are in top of the heap. They listen to this all the time about their kids. You can't respond. "Stay out. Christian is a big boy. He will be able to do this on his own. He will be able to carry this team.' This criticism and replies aren't about to go away anytime soon, if ever. The U.S. men have two friendlies coming up during the September FIFA international window against a pair of top-flight Asian sides. The Americans will face the Korea Republic at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, N.J. on Sept. 6 before meeting Japan at Field in Columbus, Ohio on Sept. 9. Like it or not, Pulisic and his teammates will be under the microscopic and then some in those friendlies and anything concerning club or country from now until the end of the European domestic season in May and the first part of the Major League Soccer campaign before it takes its World Cup break. And those criticisms and opinions won't stop with the end of the World Cup. In the media environment that we live in today, it likely will continue forever. Who knows? After this generation of USMNT players retire, they might find themselves in a similar situation when they become media pundits and get an opportunity to share their opinions, criticisms and analysis about another generation.

Dillon Gabriel's ‘entertainers, competitors' comments will get Browns fans talking
The post Dillon Gabriel's 'entertainers, competitors' comments will get Browns fans talking appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Cleveland Browns are expected to be one of the worst teams in the NFL this season, but they are also one of the most powerful media magnets in the league right now. And that statement will carry even more validity following Saturday's 22-13 preseason win versus the Philadelphia Eagles. While there are certainly interesting aspects of the game to unpack, the biggest attention-grabber occurred during a sideline interview in the third quarter. Rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel, who made his preseason debut after recently battling a hamstring injury, dropped a soundbite that is sure to go viral. When asked how he 'tunes out the noise,' the third-round draft pick responded with an interesting choice of words that had many fans immediately thinking of one man. 'That's just part of it… there's entertainers and there's competitors,' Gabriel said, via TheDayroomExperience X account. 'And I totally understand that, and my job is to compete… I just want to be the best teammate that I can and create an environment where we can all do our best work.' The 'entertainers' remark immediately put the spotlight on fellow rookie signal-caller Shedeur Sanders, who famously has a big personality and flashy appearance. However, given the nature of the question, which focused on 'the noise,' it is definitely possible Gabriel was talking about the media circus that is encircling the Browns QB room, and not his teammate. Do not forget, one reporter was caught on video mouthing 'I'm taller than him' in the spring, so it is possible the 24-year-0ld already has some reservations about the local press. A narrative will take shape regardless. Browns' Dillon Gabriel, Shedeur Sanders must push through all the hoopla Whether or not he intended to bring Sanders back into focus, Gabriel just threw gasoline on the QB controversy that was already brewing in Cleveland. He should know how the specific word 'entertainer' is going to be perceived by those watching. Although it is not a written part of the job description, a quarterback is supposed to ward off distractions when talking into a microphone. Unfortunately, this will have the opposite effect. Gabriel wants his game to speak louder than anything he said off the field, but while he did show some promise on Saturday afternoon, the All-American and former Oregon star posted a mixed outing. He completed 13-of-18 passes for 143 yards, while also throwing an interception that was returned for a touchdown and committing a lost fumble on a handoff. Gabriel's pass-catchers share accountability on the pick-six — bunched-up and did not make a strong move for the ball — but he needs to recognize potential dangers during such unfavorable circumstances. Nevertheless, the young Hawaiian still made enough good throws to inspire some optimism. Since Shedeur Sanders is nursing an oblique injury, and Dillon Gabriel was sidelined last week, fans have still yet to see both signal-callers compete in the same exhibition game. Perhaps that will change in the Browns' preseason finale against the Los Angeles Rams next Saturday. The team and NFL world can expect much speculation until that day arrives.
