Lara Trump posted a video of one of her children in a “character building” exercise in the rain, and many on the left are calling it child abuse.
The daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump posted the video that showed her 5-year-old son riding a toy bulldozer in the rain during the landfall of Hurricane Ian. She owns a home in Jupiter, Florida, with her husband Eric Trump.
“Thought we had a clear window, turns out we did some character building instead,” she wrote on the Instagram post, “stay safe everyone!”
Watch:
Twitter critics were quick to jump in and accused Trump of child abuse, mainly because the boy appeared to be crying in the video.
“I don’t know what’s worse – that Lara Trump did this to her child, or that she filmed it and then posted it as some sort of brag,” said JoJo Fletcher, a liberal activist.
The Occupy Democrats account also responded, labeling the video as “deeply disturbing”:
“Somebody needs to call Child Protective Services on Lara trump for having her son out in the storm and filming him crying his eyes out, FFS. Disgusting,” replied another person.
“What Lara Trump is doing by making her child stay in the storm scared while filming him is abuse. Plain and simple,” responded Tony Posnanski.
“If Lara Trump thinks it’s a good look to post a sickening video where she’s callously laughing at her young son who’s clearly in distress – she’s wrong,” read another comment.
“It’s the laughing while she’s doing it that’s the worst. Horrible horrible person.” one person wrote.
