KAI: Honestly, I kind of stay out of politics completely. It’s just not my thing," the influencer said. "I just like showing my life and showing how you can still be an athlete and you can still do a ton of other things and enjoy a ton of other things. So, I just kind of like showing people that everything’s possible and I love just showing the new generation my progress through college, eventually, but obviously how I got to where I am today.

INTERVIEWER: Now I think your grandfather has done a very good job with America 250, especially integrating it with sports. I saw you were at the UFC event at the White House. How is that, I mean.. What do you think about the integration with politics but also sports?

KAI: Honestly I stay out of politics completely. It's just not my thing. but um. I think the UFC event was great and it was really cool being there, and especially having veterans in the stadium as well. like... That's where you can kind of combine the 250... um... point of view on it. but um... I thought it was great.

I don't think that she is playing both sides. I think what she is saying is that MAGA is not political because it is the default position. She thinks that when she lives at the White House and films herself golfing with Trump, it isn't "political" because it's just the natural way of life. It's a deflection from any sort of criticism. "Politics" is only people that want to impose change on the status quo. She says that what she is doing isn't politics because it is reinforcing status quo.

so if I've got this right, if she were killed by an IOF quadcopter that would be "political", because she's not a Palestinian toddler

Even the IDF killing Americans is apolitical, but it would probably be blamed on Hamas, making it apparently political until the lie is inevitably discovered.
