Kai Trump picks McDonald’s over Burger King
When Katie Pavlich put McDonald’s and Burger King head-to-head, Kai went with McDonald’s, choosing the chain famously known for its Big Macs and fries.
The choice also happened to match her grandfather, President Donald Trump’s, well-known love for the fast-food giant.
Donald Trump has spoken openly about his loyalty to McDonald’s
.@POTUS: As you may have heard, I'm also one of your all-time most loyal customers. While other politicians fly around on campaign planes stocked with expensive catering, on Trump Force One, we served only MCDONALD’S almost every time... I even got @SecKennedy to eat a Big Mac.🤣 pic.twitter.com/BjHt5q6bRC

At the McDonald’s Impact Summit in Washington, DC, on November 17, 2025, Trump called himself “one of your all-time most loyal customers.”
He also recalled that his campaign plane, known as Trump Force One before he became president, served McDonald’s “almost every time.”
Kai’s own McDonald’s choice therefore gave the rapid-fire answer a fun family connection.
Kai Trump chooses Trump Tower taco bowl over Taco Bell
The fast-food question was not the only food choice Kai had to make.
When asked to choose between a Trump Tower taco bowl and Taco Bell, she picked the taco bowl.
She also chose her grandfather’s Palm Beach club, Mar-a-Lago, over Bedminster when given the two options.
The questions were deliberately quick, with Kai having to make her choices on the spot.
Kai Trump picks UFC over NBA and weighs in on aliens
The rapid-fire round also moved beyond food and family.
When asked whether she believed aliens were real, Kai said she did not know, but tended not to believe they were.
She was also asked to choose between the NBA and UFC, picking the UFC.
For another Trump-related choice, Kai was asked to choose between the new and old Air Force One. She went with the legacy version.
The answers offered a lighter look at Kai, who has recently been in the spotlight while starting college and pursuing golf.
