Kai Trump swapped stateside stress for a Costa Rican coastline just as fresh polling revealed that almost every American believes their country's living costs have spiralled out of control. The 19-year-old, granddaughter of President Donald Trump, posted a vlog of the trip to her YouTube channel, framing it as a send-off before she starts at the University of Miami this autumn.
The vlog's release coincides with a summer of record fuel prices, rising grocery bills and a national mood that pollsters describe as approaching consensus-level pessimism.
