Lara Trump managed to handle an awkward moment during an episode of her podcast when she did a question-and-answer session with a viewer who asked her if she was “as stupid as she seems to be.”
Without missing a beat, Trump, wife of Eric Trump, calmly continued and turned her probably rehearsed response into a direct attack on the Democratic Party.
‘Oh! This one is nice: “Is Lara Trump as stupid as she seems?” What is that… that’s stupid? Let me ask you that, sir or madam. “I’m…I repeat, I say this all the time, I’m just giving you information and facts,” Trump responded.
Lara Trump is currently co-chair of the Republican National Committee and suggested that those who vote Democratic do so because they are influenced by emotions rather than facts.
Lara Trump fluidly handled a difficult question about her intelligence and redirected it to criticize the Democratic Party.

‘What is stupid is to vote for a party that hates you and hates this country. What is stupid is voting for a party that ultimately wants the destruction of America and I assume you are one of those people.
‘There’s nothing stupid around here. “I actually did my research, I have the real information, I’m not really influenced by emotions but by cold hard facts,” he continued.
“You might want to jump on that train because I’ll tell you what, it’s all sunshine, lollipops and rainbows now, but if something happens, you’ll look back and say, ‘Man, I bet Lara Trump was right.’ “I should have listened to her.”
Those who responded online had more humorous opinions on what their response might have been.
‘The answer to your question is yes. Yes, it is,” Mike Morton wrote.
“She could have just said yes,” Cooper added.
“I’m willing to bet no one will ever look back and say ‘man, Lara Trump was right,'” one tweeted.
‘I can answer this. Yes Yes it is. If you don’t believe me, look who she willingly married,” another X user added.
Trump emphasized how he put objective information before emotional influences
Lara Trump said earlier in the week that her father-in-law’s re-election campaign raised $1.5 million on the first day of former President Donald Trump’s criminal trial on Monday.
Last month, her father-in-law, Donald Trump, completed his takeover of the Republican Party when Lara was elected co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC).
She took on one of the lead roles alongside another Trump loyalist, after Ronna McDaniel stepped aside.
Democrats immediately dismissed his promotion, saying his ‘nepo title’ would ensure another series of disastrous elections for their party.
And although Trump’s team has vowed not to use RNC funds to pay his personal legal bills, his key lieutenants will now face few challenges.

She had been actively campaigning for Trump’s re-election even before she was elected co-chair of the Republican National Committee in March. She is pictured here in January 2024.

Lara Trump has even said she believed voters would be okay with the party footing the bill.
“As co-chair, I will focus on protecting our elections, ensuring RNC money is spent with maximum impact, and building key capabilities to ensure we win close races on the margins,” Lara said.
“Everything I do on this committee will have one goal: re-elect Donald Trump, flip the Senate and expand the House this November.”
He is expected to focus on television appearances and fundraising.
