Lara Trump provided a big update on father-in-law and former President Donald Trump’s campaign as the cycle begins in earnest, ripping his likely 2024 opponent, President Joe Biden, for persecuting him.
“Take a look around. Four indictments are [in] four different, you know, areas in this country where my father-in-law’s indicted. Very clearly, Joe Biden has weaponized the Department of Justice against his No. 1 political opponent, Donald Trump,” Lara Trump told Newsmax TV host Bianca de la Garza.
“You have [Donald Trump] … being taken off the ballot in places not even allowing the American people to voice their opinion as to who they want to choose as their nominee. And then, of course for president of the United States,” Lara, who is married to Eric Trump, continued.
She added that it’s “amazing” the incumbent Biden is “going all in on Donald Trump.”
“You would think if you had three years under your belt in the White House, and you had literally anything good to show that you had done while you were in control of this country, you would put it in a campaign ad. You would be talking about it,” Lara said.
“But the truth is, they have nothing. The truth is, you can’t fool people into thinking their life is better when indeed, their life is actually worse. So, they’re doing the same tactic they did in 2020, attack Donald Trump, attack Trump supporters,” she noted further.
“Look at the polling. Look at where Joe Biden is. They are in full panic mode right now,” Lara told de la Garza. “Look at the people who have come over to the Republican side from the Democrat side. You have people every day changing their voter affiliation because they can no longer vote with the party who was hellbent on destroying this country.”
She also made remarks about two GOP presidential contenders: Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley.
Regarding Christie’s pledge on “The View” this week not to support Trump if he becomes the party’s nominee, Lara said: “What kind of a guy is this who clearly doesn’t love this country enough to vote into office, a person with a proven track record, Donald J. Trump? The truth is, with Chris Christie, he’s always had sour grapes with my father-in-law because he was not chosen, I believe, as his running mate in 2016.”
Regarding Haley’s critiques of her former boss: “The truth is, she worked as part of his administration, and she knows very well the days of Donald Trump as president of the United States this country was firing on all cylinders,” Lara noted.
“People were successful. People had more money in their pockets. They felt safe and secure. We had a robust military. We did not have wars breaking out across the world. So people know the truth, and I feel sad that she felt the need to go that low. I hope it doesn’t hurt her in the future,” she added.
