There could be a shock to the American political system as 18-year-old Kai Trump, Donald Trump's granddaughter, has revealed whether she has plans to run for president in the future during a new interview with YouTuber Logan Paul.
It's quite surprising how many of the most powerful individuals in American history have been related, as there have been two separate father-son presidents, and even one instance of a grandson following in his grandfather's footsteps for Benjamin Harrison.
With speculation that President Donald Trump is looking to extend his stay in the White House beyond a second term, some have wondered whether this could be achieved by putting one of his children in his place, acting perhaps as a 'puppet' of sorts.
This 'Trump dynasty' then would naturally continue throughout the family tree, and who better to take up the mantle for a third generation than Donald's granddaughter Kai, who has already amassed a notable following on social media.

While she's only 18-years-old and therefore 17 years away from the minimum legal age to run for president, she's already being quizzed on her political aspirations during a recent episode of Logan Paul's 'IMPAULSIVE' podcast.
Upon being asked whether Kamala Harris "was the opps" during her grandfather's election cycle, Kai had a rather intriguing and perhaps unexpected response:
"To be honest with you, I stay out of politics completely," she revealed. "I would never run, I don't want anything to do with politics because I feel like politics is such a dangerous thing, and I feel if both sides had met in the middle both sides would be so much happier."
Throughout the response she appears to take a far more centrist stance than the increasingly far-right approach of her patriarchs, to the point where some might even argue that she's distancing herself from his positions — albeit it's far more likely that she's simply trying to stay away from politics in general.
"There's radical left and there's radical right, and there's a lot of people that get too extreme and that's where social media really ties into it because social media makes your Instagram or your feed or whatever be either really one way or the other, and there's not a lot of things on social media where you're very much in the middle," Kai continued.
She also added that this push towards the 'extremeties' on social media "makes some people crazy and some people buy into it too much," which some might want to see as a slight towards the fanatical cult-like support of Trump, especially in recent years.
Returning back to the original question though she clarified that "there's no bad blood, I'm very much in the middle, I'm kinda like, it is what it is, they ran against each other.
"Obviously I'm gonna support my grandpa, my family member, but that's pretty much it."
Instead she appears to split her focus between her growing social media channels – including over 1.4 million subscribers on YouTube – and her aims for a professional golf career, committing to play for the University of Miami's women's golf team this year.
