Lara Trump, married to President-Elect Donald Trump’s son Eric, has expressed her unwavering support for her father-in-law, calling him a “champion of women.”
As she prepares for her role at his upcoming second inauguration, Lara reflected on her personal experience, crediting Donald Trump for helping her achieve success.
In a conversation with the New York Post, Lara, 42, spoke candidly about her background and how Trump played a significant role in her life.
“I came from a place where I couldn’t relate to the Trump family,” she said, acknowledging the stark contrast between her previous life and joining a well-known business family.
She emphasized that Trump, despite his larger-than-life public image, helped her grow both personally and professionally.
“Donald Trump helped me get to where I am today,” Lara added, highlighting his continued support for the women in his inner circle.
Trump’s Commitment to Diversity and Empowerment of Women in His Circle
Lara made sure to highlight the strong women around Donald Trump, pointing to his incoming Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, and cabinet picks such as Kristi Noem and Linda McMahon as examples of Trump’s dedication to empowering women.
“Donald Trump cares about people based on their ability, not their appearance, gender, or religion,” she said.
“It’s something I deeply appreciate as a woman, because I never want a job just because of my gender.”
Her comments come amid ongoing political tensions where Trump’s support among female voters has remained a point of focus.
Despite widening his lead with male voters, Trump has struggled to bridge the gap with women.
As the 2024 election approaches, figures like Vice President Kamala Harris have become vocal about Trump’s treatment of women, claiming he does not respect their freedoms or intelligence.
Lara Trump on the Future of Female Leadership in Politics
Looking ahead, Lara shared her belief that the United States will have a female president within her lifetime.
However, she clarified that she hopes it will be based on merit rather than gender alone—a notion she believes hindered Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.
“Hillary Clinton said, ‘Don’t you want to see a woman president?’ but I think that approach turned a lot of people off,” Lara explained.
“I believe our first female president will be a Republican.”
Though she recently turned down a potential Senate seat, Lara remains politically active, firmly advocating for a future that values the competence and capability of female leaders.
A Personal Family Moment: Telling Her Children About the Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump
Lara also opened up about a deeply emotional moment when she had to explain to her young children that their grandfather had survived an assassination attempt.
“I had to sit them down and tell them something happened to Grandpa,” Lara recalled. “It was hard, especially knowing they would see him soon at the Republican National Convention.”
Despite the traumatic news, Lara managed to reassure her children that their grandfather was fine and would soon recover.
This moment underscored the personal and often challenging side of being part of such a high-profile family.
The ‘First Buddy’ and the Humor Behind Elon Musk’s Role in the Trump Family Circle
In a lighter moment, Lara spoke fondly of Elon Musk, who has become a regular figure in the Trump family’s inner circle.
Known as “First Buddy” by the family, Musk has become a close ally to Trump, and Lara jokingly referred to him as a key part of the “doing the right thing for this country” mission.
“Who wouldn’t want one of the brightest minds of our time in the circle?” she said, praising Musk for his ambitious goals and the positive impact his legacy could have.
Lara further shared a fun anecdote from a recent visit to Mar-a-Lago, where she performed a song at Trump’s New Year’s Eve bash, surprising both her in-laws and Musk.
It’s clear that, despite the high-stakes political landscape, moments of joy and humor are cherished within the Trump family.
Through all of this, Lara Trump continues to carve out her own path in supporting her father-in-law and advocating for a future where merit and ability shine through, no matter the gender.
