Lara Trump Accuses Ivanka of Giving President Trump 'Unsolicited Advice'
In a revealing podcast appearance, Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of President Donald Trump, has claimed that Ivanka Trump is the family member most likely to offer "unsolicited advice" without being consulted. The comments were made during an interview on The Katie Miller Podcast, hosted by the wife of Trump's Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, Stephen Miller.
Podcast Revelations on Family Dynamics
Lara Trump, 43, who married Eric Trump in 2014, answered a series of rapid-fire questions about the Trump family. When asked, "Who gives the most unsolicited advice?" she responded, "Maybe Ivanka. I feel like she wants to help. Like, she always means so well. But you know, it's OK. We take it all in stride. It's all good." This insight sheds light on the interpersonal relationships within one of America's most prominent political families.
In a more positive light, Lara also named Ivanka, 44, as the best gift-giver during holidays. She confessed, "God, and we're the worst. Eric and I are the absolute worst. I mean, she remembers everything. My kids' birthdays, every single time. Don't ask me when the last time was I sent my nieces and nephews an actual birthday gift on time, because I always fail. I'm the worst." This contrast highlights Ivanka's attentive nature despite the criticism over her advice-giving.
Ivanka Trump's Political Role and Current Life
Ivanka Trump was a highly visible figure during her father's first administration from 2017 to 2021, serving as an adviser alongside her husband, Jared Kushner. While Kushner has returned to work closely with Steve Witkoff on global peace negotiations, Ivanka has opted for a lower profile this time around. She prefers raising her children in Surfside, Florida, though she has assisted in organizing food drives for war-torn Ukraine.
Her brothers, Donald Trump Jr and Eric, have also stepped back from direct political involvement, focusing on managing the Trump Organization's interests. However, both have a history of campaigning at rallies during election seasons. One of Ivanka's last major political engagements was in June 2022, when she testified before the House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack. During that testimony, she stated she did not share her father's belief that the 2020 election was stolen and agreed with former Attorney General Bill Barr's assessment that there was "zero basis" for such claims.
Further Family Insights from Lara Trump
Lara Trump shared additional tidbits about the Trump family during the podcast. When asked, "Who is most likely to call just to check in?" she answered, "I would say my father-in-law. He loves a good late-night random call, early morning chit-chat." She mentioned that the last text message she received from President Trump was a video from the White House, accompanied by the message, "Love, DJT." She described it as a video of a bombing, noting, "He's proud of it. It was good."
On her own podcast, The Right View with Lara Trump, she also discussed Barron Trump, 20, a student at New York University's Stern School of Business. She said, "I don't know if he knows that the internet is obsessed with him. I think he knows that there is a lot of interest. But that's why he likes to lay low. That's why he likes to play it cool. That's why you don't see him all the time." This offers a glimpse into the private life of the youngest Trump son, who maintains a low profile despite public fascination.
These revelations from Lara Trump provide a unique perspective on the inner workings of the Trump family, blending personal anecdotes with political context. They highlight the complexities of family dynamics in the spotlight, from unsolicited advice to holiday gifts and late-night calls.
