Lara Trump’s new music video for her song “Hero” with Madeline Jaymes left social media users urging the Republican National Committee Chairwoman to not quit her day job.
The duet, which “honors heroes and their bravery,” includes the highly auto-tuned RNC Chairwoman singing lyrics like “You crime up the ladder, and the screams get louder, you’re my hero.” The music video was first posted online on Aug. 23, but it took until now for the horror to sink in among unfortunate listeners.
“I just played Lara Trump’s garbage and both my dogs ran in and begged me to shoot off fireworks instead,” comedian Tony Posnanski wrote on X.
Democratic political strategist Rick Wilson described the tune as like “a wild hog and a sack of rusty cans being thrown into an industrial wood chipper.”
