Former President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, finds herself in the spotlight once again, but this time, it’s not for her political affiliations. Lara recently stirred up controversy with her remarks about her parenting practices, particularly her bedtime routine with her children, Luke and Carolina.
Lara’s Patriotic Bedtime Practice: Speaking at CPAC, Lara Trump shared insights into her family’s bedtime rituals, which raised eyebrows among both supporters and critics alike. She revealed that she and her husband, Eric Trump, make it a point to have their children recite the Pledge of Allegiance every night as part of their “patriotic bedtime practice.”
Criticism and Mockery Ensue: However, Lara’s remarks didn’t sit well with everyone. Critics were quick to mock her unusual approach to parenting, questioning the necessity and effectiveness of incorporating the Pledge of Allegiance into a bedtime routine. Some took to social media platforms, such as X (formerly Twitter), to express their disbelief and amusement.
Social Media Reaction: One user sarcastically remarked that reciting the Pledge of Allegiance before bed is hardly a bragging point, while another questioned the sincerity of Lara’s claim, suggesting that a devout Christian family would prioritize bedtime prayers over patriotic pledges. Additionally, there were those who pointed out the irony of Lara’s emphasis on unity while simultaneously endorsing policies that promote division within the nation.
Debunking the Claims: Amidst the ridicule, doubts were raised about the authenticity of Lara’s statements, with some questioning whether such a practice actually takes place in the Trump household. Furthermore, critics highlighted the disconnect between Lara’s assertions of unity and her alignment with political ideologies that have been criticized for fostering division and intolerance.
