Backlash over ‘Where is Kai Trump’ narrative

Social media users and commentators slammed the framing of headlines that spotlighted Kai Trump, calling it “irresponsible” and “unnecessary,” especially given that she was not involved in the incident.

Social media users are of the opinion that the coverage reflected a broader trend of sensationalizing stories by involving high-profile family members, even when they have no connection to the event.

“Journalists finding a way to put the Trump name in every headline,” an X user wrote under the New York Post headline supporting the narrative.

Another user on X sarcastically replied, “I was also miles away during his crash. Almost like neither of us had anything to do with it.”

The Spun claims that the New York Post's headline was only inspired by the bond between Woods and her mother, Vanessa Trump.
