Kai Trump has shared what it's like trying to date while being shadowed by Secret Service agents.
Dating can be a challenge at the best of times, but one thing that could certainly put a dampener on things is the knowledge that two armed guards are sitting just a few feet away as you're asking your date whether they prefer cats or dogs.
On the other hand, if the date goes badly and you want someone gone, then the presence of two Secret Service agents might be a better solution than contemplating climbing out of the bathroom window.
Donald Trump's eldest granddaughter Kai has agents assigned to her when she's out and about, and opened up about the effect that this has had on her in an appearance on the Impaulsive podcast with Logan Paul.

"It's really awkward when you're sitting and going on a date with a guy and they're like two tables behind you, it's like, a little weird," the golfer said. "My thing is I try to try my best not to like let it bother me."
She went to open up about how she has adapted since her grandfather became president.
"I think I've learned, especially the past year now, it's been pretty much a year since he's become president, is I've had to learn to kind of... yes they're following me, but also focus and like pretend that they're not there," she said.
But overall, she said that she generally just tries to tune out the fact that there are armed guards following her.
She added: "Like also they're there, but if you can try not really focusing on that and more enjoying your time with your friends, your family, whatever it is, it makes it easier.
"Because, like, for these first few months, it was tough. It was not easy having someone following you all the time and like planning if you're going out somewhere where you're like, 'oh, I'm leaving in five minutes'."
Of course, this was a big change from a more normal life where you don't have armed guards, or have to carefully plan out your day.
"You don't really think about that stuff because if you live a normal life, you kind of just go out of your house and leave, you don't have to like plan every single second," said Kai.
However, in the end, she shared that she was able to tune out the bodyguards.
"So that was kind of tough, but I think literally once I was like their only job is to kind of protect me, I'm going to focus on myself and have them do their job," she said.
"It made it so much easier."
