Lara Trump posts video of her crying 5 yr old son in hurricane as a "character building exercise."

https://www.instagram.com/reel/CjDXQvXDhAb/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Lara Trump made a big splash on social media Wednesday, but probably not in the way she intended.

Trump — who is married to Eric Trump, the second-born son of former President Donald Trump — posted a video on Instagram showing her 5-year-old son riding a toy bulldozer on a Florida street while rains from Hurricane Ian pour down on both of them.

The video was captioned, “Thought we had a clear window, turns out we did some character building instead 🙈🤣🌧🌀 stay safe everyone! 🙏🏽”

But what Lara Trump called “character building” others called cruelty, mainly because the child was visibly sad and crying in the video.

That poor kid needs better parents and that parent needs to go to parental classes before she can prove he is safe in her care.

Gee, her poor, abused kid...all for a political photo op. Hello CPS????!!!!????

Or is this tRump Care Lesson 101? Did Fred use the same, wonderful parenting skills as his loser son and his loser sons? Genetics?

What a fucked up psycho family. The Addams Family was a zillion time more loving and respectful as the tRump clan/spawn.

Don't want the kid growing up to be a normie. All human emotion and empathy must be driven out of him. It is the trump way.

I had previously thought that Repukes' sadism stopped short of victimizing their own children. I was mistaken.

Apparently Lara read her husband's cousin Mary's book and decided to model her child-rearing strategy after Fred Trump's.

not only because of this incident but because in the short clip when he turns to the camera I couldn't help but notice that he resembles his father. Poor kid.
