Kai Trump shows Elon Musk clumsily teaching Trump rocket science

Even though she's only 17, Donald Trump's granddaughter appears to be having fun with her role as an up-and-coming, up-and-coming woman YOU are an influencerwhile sharing cleverly produced videos on social media of the fun she has along with her beloved President-elect “Grandpa.”

But Kai Trump can only achieve this much to melt the image of a person who has been compared by critics to essentially the most dangerous fascists in history and who frequently utters insults and profane remarks. His election opponent, Kamala Harris received around 74 million votes to his 76 million.

With her latest video The film, released Tuesday, also featured the teenage golf prodigy as “Grandpa,” who seemed a little bit out of his element as a guest at Elon Musk's SpaceX launch last week.

In a very “chilling” moment from Kai Trump's behind-the-scenes video, Trump might be seen sending Musk into an “embarrassing spiral” after asking him if a rocket engine might be reused – after it was thrown into the Gulf of Mexico crashed in a ball of fireplace, the Daily Beast reported.

Last week, Trump accompanied Musk, his top campaign donor and rumored latest expert adviser on government efficiency, to observe the most recent test flight of his Starship rocket system, the Daily Beast reported. Trump was joined on the occasion by Kai Trump and her good friend, in addition to Kai Trump's father Donald Trump Jr. and Texas Senator Ted Cruz.

Musk, who can also be a NASA contractor, planned to indicate Trump a repeat of the “incredible maneuver” one among his Starship rocket ships performed in October, the Daily Beast reported. At that point, huge mechanical arms protruding from the launch tower managed to successfully “catch” the rocket's “Super Heavy” carrier after it made the precise movements required to return to the launch site. SpaceNews.com reported.

For the Nov. 19 Starship launch, the rocket successfully lifted off from the SpaceX Starbase test site in Boca Chica, Texas, at 5 p.m., SpaceNews.com reported. Its booster separated from the vehicle's upper stage about two minutes and 45 seconds after launch. The launch vehicle began to return to the launch site, but just over a minute later, air traffic controllers announced a “booster offshore diversion,” meaning the launch vehicle wouldn’t return to the launch pad but would as a substitute plunge into the Gulf of Mexico.

The reusability of the boosters was a key a part of SpaceX's effort to halve the associated fee of every $100 million Starship flight, the Daily Beast reported.

Kai Trump's video, which she also shares as a YouTube vlog, captures the moments when Musk told Trump: “We had some concerns about the tower, so it was ordered to land out at sea.”

In the video, where Kai stands near Trump, Trump appeared unusually calm and maybe a little bit awestruck, clearly missing the meaning of what the billionaire was saying.

That's because Trump muttered, “Amazing.” The former reality TV star then asked Musk, “Can they use that again?” Can they get it from the ocean?”

Musk appeared to do a double take and even give the president-elect a “side glance,” the Daily Beast said. Musk awkwardly replied, “Uhh, it will. …it's…it's probably going to explode. That’s my guess.”

Cruz, standing next to Trump, jumped in to cover up Trump's question by leading Musk to explain that he already had “higher” versions of the booster in production and one of them was ready for use. “Well, here we go,” Cruz said.

According to Kai Trump's video and other news reports, Trump actually said little else that day. A report in the Telegraph reiterated the view that Trump's trip with Musk to the SpaceX rocket launch was “uncomfortable” for both men, even though they have spent the weeks since the election virtually “joined on the hip” at Mar-a-Lago.

According to Darren Stanton, a former police officer and body language expert, Trump actually looked like a “fish out of water” and appeared to have been intimidated by Musk during the Starship test flight.

Trump showed none of his “alpha male personality” and “power gestures” during the event, Stanton told The Telegraph. “Trump has been very restless…usually he seems like this alpha male, the most powerful and powerful person in the room. I think he’s pretty intimidated by Musk,” Stanton said. “He was overwhelmed – his hands were just at his side like a mannequin.”

It's hard to believe that Kai Trump wanted her “grandpa” to seem “overwhelmed.” As Daily Beast entertainment writer Eboni Boykin-Patterson said in another reportKai Trump, whose mother is Vanessa Trump, has taken on a role in Trumpworld that was once filled by her aunt Ivanka Trump. Since Kai Trump spoke at the Republican National Convention — to show “the side of my grandfather that individuals don't often see” — she has become the photogenic young female relative trying to “clean up” Trump's image, Boykin said -Patterson too.

At the start of her video, Kai Trump gently poked fun at her grandfather — while also providing her roughly 2.6 million followers with some of the “ambitious” content that social media users are looking for, Boykin-Patterson wrote. While the teenager exuberantly showed off the luxurious accommodations on Trump's private jet, she and her friend also spent a few moments Recording a TikTok clipin which they mimicked their grandfather's golf swing and his meme campaign dance moves, set to the Village People's “YMCA.”

The Daily Beast said the result of Kai Trump's posts was “a less complicated, smiling perspective” on Trump, whom it described as a “hard employee” for “all Americans.” The teenager also shares slideshows of her 78-year-old grandfather with a broad smile along with her followers. “And if that’s all you see of this kind, loving grandfather, you’d think he never tried to overturn an election,” Boykin-Patterson wrote.
