"In one moment, Kai Trump said that she will have to "file for bankruptcy" after learning about a store-branded sweater that costs $165. The ultra-luxe grocery chain in the Los Angeles area is known for its remarkably high-priced products, such as $22 smoothies and $13 Medjool dates."
"Multiple comments on the YouTube video referenced Marie Antoinette and the French Revolution. Some comments also called for Kai Trump and Baron Trump to be drafted to fight in the U.S.-Israel war on Iran."
"Mike Nellis, a Democratic strategist, called the video a "modern 'let them eat cake' moment" in a March 9 post on X. "Your kids might get drafted to fight in Iran, while the Trump family uses your tax dollars to shop premium, organic, gluten free cake," The Lincoln Project also said on X."
Kai Trump posted a YouTube video on March 8 showing her shopping at Erewhon Market in Santa Monica, California, with her Secret Service detail. The ultra-luxury grocery store is known for extremely high prices, including $22 smoothies and $13 dates. Kai Trump joked about filing for bankruptcy after seeing a $165 store-branded sweater, and her total bill came to $233. The video title was changed from "I Brought My Secret Service to Erewhon" to "I Tried the World's Most Expensive Grocery Store." The post generated significant criticism on social media, with commenters comparing it to Marie Antoinette's "let them eat cake" and criticizing the use of taxpayer dollars for luxury shopping while others face potential military drafting.
