Kai Trump Breaks Down Before Leaving for College: 'I'm Struggling Right Now'

Kai Trump broke down in tears as she prepared to leave her family behind and begin her college journey.

"I've been like, literally sobbing," Trump, 19, said in a vlog posted to her YouTube channel on Saturday, August 29. "Um, it's just like really sad that I have to say goodbye to like everyone. Um, today I'm not like a very emotional person at all."

The incoming University of Miami freshman documented the busy week leading up to her move from her home in Jupiter, Fla., to her new apartment in South Beach.

Trump admitted that it was "really weird" for her to cry, claiming she's only really shown that amount of emotion a "few times."

"I think knowing I have to say goodbye to everyone tonight. It like really, really sucks," she explained. "I don't have to say goodbye to my mom tomorrow, but everything else is sad. I'm just struggling right now. Just like thinking about it, but I'm excited. It's just like I'm emotional."

Kai, the eldest daughter of Vanessa Trump and Donald Trump Jr., announced her verbal commitment to the University of Miami in 2024.

Though the campus is just a short drive from her family home, the transition has been complicated by her mother's cancer diagnosis, which she announced just weeks before her daughter's high school graduation.

"I wanted to share a personal health update. I’ve recently been diagnosed with b----- cancer. While this isn’t news anyone expects, I’m working closely with my medical team on a treatment plan,” the New York native, 48, wrote in a post shared via Instagram on May 20.

The mom-of-five revealed she underwent a procedure related to her diagnosis earlier that week.

"I am staying focused and hopeful while surrounded by the support of my family, my kids, and those closest to me," she continued. "Thank you for your kindness and support, it truly means more than I can express. I kindly ask for privacy as I focus on my health and recovery."

Kai supported her mother shortly after the announcement, calling her the "strongest person" she knew.

The college student shared a rare update on her mother's condition last week during an interview with NewsNation’s Katie Pavlich Tonight, revealing that her mother was "doing a lot better" since announcing her diagnosis.

"She went through treatment, got surgery, but she's doing better," she told the outlet on August 21. "It's been a little bit of a rocky road, but she's feeling better now, and hopefully she just continues getting better."
