A short video of Kai Trump behind a Dunkin’ Donuts counter is drawing attention online, sparking mixed reactions. It comes just weeks after an incident involving an alleged trespasser.
On June 17, 2025, President Donald Trump’s eldest granddaughter, Kai Trump, posted a short Instagram video of herself behind the drive-thru window at a Dunkin’ Donuts location. In the footage, she wore a bright pink tank top, an orange tennis skirt, and white sneakers, the brand’s signature colors.
She could be heard confirming a customer’s order for a “medium iced coffee” and saying “perfect” before thanking the customer and accepting their payment. As she processed the order, a coworker helped her with the register. Kai then completed the transaction before handing the drink to the customer.
“Working the drive-thru at Dunkin’ Donuts,” she wrote across the video. In the caption, she added, “If it’s on the Dunkin’ menu, I tried it,” pointing followers to a longer YouTube video.
The post quickly triggered reactions across social media. While some applauded the teenager’s down-to-earth presence, others questioned the optics. One viewer commented, “Love this!! And not ashamed of hard work just like grandpa! (even if it’s just for fun 😂).”
But not everyone was impressed. Critics questioned the intent behind the video, with one writing, “Working for fun is crazy,” and another bluntly asking, “What’s funny about this…”
Another was more skeptical, saying, “Confused why people are cheering on a teenager playing to work a job that other kids her age have to…. Just strange to see.” One person criticized, “Pretending to work a job others her age actually have to do. So weird…” while another echoed, “All for show.”
A related TikTok video brought a wave of support, with one commenter writing, “Can’t believe Kai Trump is working at Dunkin’ Donuts, she’s so down to earth and funny in this clip!”
Others chimed in, “She seems so modest and down to earth. They raised her right for sure,” and “It’s refreshing to see a different side of her! Everyone’s got to start somewhere.”
The social media buzz came just two weeks after a man was arrested for trespassing at Mar-a-Lago with intentions tied to Kai. According to an arrest report obtained by NBC News, 23-year-old Anthony Reyes from Texas was detained by Secret Service agents shortly after midnight on June 3, 2025.
Reyes allegedly told police he had climbed over a wall to “spread the gospel” to President Trump and “marry Kai.” The Secret Service confirmed that Reyes had scaled a perimeter fence, triggered alarms, and was caught on the property. No members of the Trump family were present at the time.

Authorities noted this was not Reyes’ first attempt to access the premises. He had previously been accused of trespassing on New Year’s Eve. Reyes was booked into Palm Beach County Jail on a $50,000 bond and ordered to have no contact with the Trump family, including Kai. He pleaded not guilty.

Neither Kai nor any member of the Trump family has publicly addressed the arrest. However, Kai’s recent Dunkin’ Donuts video indicates she’s focusing on her social media presence, curating content that merges playful antics with personal moments, regardless of whether they stir praise, criticism, or headlines.
