Kai Trump's cringy Erewhon grocery haul and why it struck such a nerve

Kai Trump − the president's 18-year-old influencer granddaughter − spent $233 on luxury groceries and showed them off online. People are not happy.

Kai Trump, the president's 18-year-old influencer granddaughter, went to a grocery store. And a lot of people aren't happy about it.

That's because she didn't go to just any grocery store. She went to Erewhon, a trendy market in Los Angeles notorious for wacky wellness offerings and exorbitant prices.

In a YouTube video titled "I Brought My Secret Service to Erewhon," posted March 9, Trump documented her Erewhon experience, which included purchasing a jar of dates and a smoothie for about $20 each. Overall, her bill came out to $233.

“I’m about to go, like, bankrupt with this stuff," she said in the video. "I’m going to need to file for bankruptcy.”

The video has over 410,000 views and plenty of fury in the comments section: “The French revolted for so much less….” “Straight up Hunger Games at this point lmao.” " 'let them eat cake' but actually.” Some have tried to temper the backlash, like one X user, who noted that, after all, "Kai Trump is maybe the last person anyone should expect to be in touch."
