Lara Trump says Ivanka Trump loves giving advice and never forgets birthdays
During the podcast, Lara was asked to name which family member gives the most unsolicited advice. Without hesitation, she pointed to Ivanka Trump.
“Maybe Ivanka,” Lara said. “I feel like she wants to help. Like, she always means so well. But you know, it's okay. We take it all in stride. It's all good.”
Despite the teasing tone, Lara made it clear that Ivanka’s intentions come from a good place. She also praised her sister-in-law for being thoughtful in other ways, especially when it comes to remembering important moments.
Lara called Ivanka the best gift-giver in the family, admitting she and her husband fall short in comparison.
“God, and we're the worst. Eric and I are the absolute worst,” she said. “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.”
Lara Trump reveals Donald Trump’s habit of late-night calls and messages
While Ivanka stood out in some categories, Lara said Donald Trump has his own way of staying connected with the family.
When asked who is most likely to call just to check in, she pointed to her father-in-law. “I would say my father-in-law. Yeah,” Lara said. “He loves a good late-night random call, early morning chit-chat.”
She also shared details about the last message she received from him, describing it as a video sent with a short note.
“I think it was a video that the White House put out, and it just said, ‘Love, DJT.’ It was like a video of some, like, bombing,” she said.
“He's proud of it,” she added. “It was good.”
Lara Trump shares rare insight into Barron Trump’s private life
In a separate conversation on her own podcast, Lara spoke about Barron Trump, describing him as the most private member of the family.
Now 20, Barron tends to stay out of the spotlight and rarely appears at public events, something Lara said is very much by choice.
“I don't know if he knows that the internet is obsessed with him,” she said. “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.”
Her comments offered a rare glimpse into Barron’s personality, suggesting that while he is aware of public attention, he prefers to keep a low profile.
