President Donald Trump's granddaughter, Kai Trump, is taking heat for allegedly copying Travis Kelce's brand, Tru Kolors. The internet has also unleashed heavy criticism against Kai for using the White House to promote her clothing brand, and joining the critical voices was Michael Jordan's former Chicago Bulls teammate, Ron Harper.

Last week, Trump made a series of posts promoting her clothing brand, and the pictures featured her posing at the White House. Her Instagram post was reposted on X, with users on that platform slamming her for using the White House to sell her merchandise.

Renowned chef Tom Colicchio reposted the post with a brutal shot at the Trump family.

"Three generations of grifters," he wrote.

Kai Trump is also getting heat for allegedly stealing NFL star Travis Kelce's brand logo. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end's brand, Tru Kolors, which was launched in 2019, has almost an identical logo to Trump's. Both logos use "K" at the bottom and "T" at the top in their branding logos.
