Lara Trump continues quest for musical stardom with song honoring firefighters
Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of Donald Trump and Republican National Committee co-chair, is continuing her quest for stardom with a new music video for a song honoring firefighters.
The song, “Hero”, was first released in May but Trump, and co-singer Madeline Jaymes, only released the music video late last month. It features moody shots of Trump and Jaymes singing in a music studio and, at times, also on a fire escape. The video is cut with a photo montage of real firefighters, and what seems to be staged footage of firefighters rescuing people. It’s unclear when Trump filmed the music video (the earliest sneak peek was posted in July.)
The duo makes a heartfelt tribute to firefighters, over some heavy autotune. “You’re going through the fire, and the flames getting higher. You’re my hero. You’re my hero,” they sing.
“You’re climbing up the ladder and the screams getting louder. You’re my hero. You’re my hero.”
Despite the emotional lyrics, some on social media appeared to find Trump’s voice distracting. On YouTube, the top comments were less than complimentary.
“Someone who cares about Lara needs to be honest and tell her she can’t sing,” one person wrote.
“After hearing this, I miss Yoko Ono,” another person commented.
On Instagram, a commenter called out Trump for being “the rich adult version” of “kids who got participation trophies.”
“Guys, I’m starting to think Lara Trump has a “music career” only because her last name is Trump,” an X user joked.
Trump, who is married to Eric Trump, has been releasing music for nearly a year now, starting with her infamous rendition of Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down”.
Since then, she has released two original songs, “Hero” and “Anything is Possible”.
