Lara Trump, the wife of Eric Trump, AKA The Dumbest Trump, is notorious for a number of things. From her silicone lips to her unauthorized cover — no, wait, TWO covers — of a beloved classic rock song, Lara is proving to the world why she landed Eric.
But since she’s become the co-chair of the Republican National Committee, her particular brand of stupid has been off the charts.
Replacing Ronna Romney is no small feat. She was impressively dumb. But Michael Whatley and Lara Trump have been impressively dumber. I think there might be a movie about that.
But while Ronna’s major fault was that she was so obeisant to Donald Trump that she stopped using the name “Romney” because Trump didn’t like her dad, Lara’s is that she’s actually a Trump.
And that means she wants your money. Not her specifically; she means to have you donate to the RNC.
But even Donald should blush at her latest pitch for cash.
After Lara’s foray into pop music was embraced by Republicans through streaming services, I’m pretty sure she thought she could just do anything and get people’s money. Now, she thinks that if you don’t have money — for groceries, maybe — you should save what you do have to contribute to the RNC in the future.
Check out this ridiculous video:

“But if you can even give us five bucks” while you’re struggling to pay rent in a country where the minimum wage in every state is too little to afford a two-bedroom apartment is just ridiculous.
The lengths to which the Republicans, and more specifically, the Trumps will go to empty your wallet are incredible.
At least they’re not begging you for money for a wall that they said another country would pay for. But still, Lara’s pitch seems more than just pathetic. It seems desperate. How does the Party that believes they are the saviors of the country still believe that they can “Make America Great Again” if they have to beg for your money?
People on X/Twitter were really angry:
This is one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen. Your fat fuck rapist is a self-proclaimed “billionaire” and they are out to grift your last dollars, assholes. Have you no brains or what?

Lara Trump recently posted a picture out celebrating at an expensive sushi restaurant. We’re talking likely $100/plate for a party over 5.
But sure, save up that $5, MAGA supporters. The Trumps need it. pic.twitter.com/Jrk0MvFVwY [4]

“If you work hard enough, you, too, can help pay my father-in-law’s legal bills!!!!”

That's right, Lara, encourage people who don't have money for food to save up so they can give it to a fake billionaire to pay his legal bills.
You people are an embarrassment. @RNCResearch [7] @GOP [8]— Ray Loewe (@rloewe65) April 4, 2024 [9]
I remember when Trump's major selling point was that he didn't need anyone's money. 🤣🤣🤣
He had his hand out back then as well.

@LaraLeaTrump [11] you're not only tone deaf vocally but also b/c you're asking people who can't afford a $5 donation to save up for it.
Why doesn't the BILLIONAIRE fund his own campaign?
Why couldn't he even pay the lowered bond payment?
He was just bragging he had $500M in CASH.

Yes pleas donate . The Trump family needs every penny they can get from you. Your medicines, food &other things are luxuries you can do without. If you are a #MAGAt [13], your primary purpose in life is to donate to the Trumps- without your help, Trumps can’t stay on the Forbes list🤣

You can skip a few meals and rent payments for freedom. 🇺🇸

Trump has always loved taking advantage of the elderly. My neighbor was 80 intimidated by a deluge of emails, several a day. She felt threatened donated $10.00 to stop. instead they take $10.00 a week- had to take her to the bank who got some money back- scammers

The billionaire needs his followers who don’t have two nickels to rub together to save up to donate to him. pic.twitter.com/1LsbQXZibC [17]
