Lara Trump's Net Worth Claim Contradicts Facts

0:00On April 23rd, Lara Trump, the 43-year-old married to Air Trump, sparked major backlash by saying her father-in-law's life got way tougher. After jumping into politics, she claimed he left the White House poor than when he started and lost chunks off his net worth just for running. But the numbers tell a different story. His fortune jumped from $2.6 billion to $6.5 billion in just over 14 months. That boost put him at number 201 on the Forbes 400 list of richest Americans. Forbes penned about $1 billion of it on new crypto plays, like World Liberty Financial Tokens, the TRU Fump, Memocoin, and the USD-1. Stavecoin's stuff that popped up after he ran again, plus $400 million from licensing deals. Social media lit up with critics calling her out hard, urging a fact check, and labeling the whole thing absurd. Folks accused her of ignoring how his businesses raked in cash during his time in office, with some straight-up saying she's delusional and that he's, using the presidency to get richer.

1:05In the interview with Katie Miller, Lara doubled down, insisting everybody loved Donald Trump back in his pre-politics days, and painting him as a good-hearted guy, hit by a tax on his family and businesses. Meanwhile, fresh concerns swirl around his health after wild rants, like one on Iran, where he talked about wiping out a whole civilization. Now whispers of the 25th Amendment are louder, even from former allies, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who called it evil madness and said duh. Talk needs to happen, no matter how tough.
