Lara Trump received criticism on social media over a video she posted of her son playing in the rain caused by Hurricane Ian.
The wife of Eric Trump, who is the son of former President Donald Trump, posted a video of her 5-year-old son, Eric L. Trump, riding a toy construction front-loader in the pouring rain in Jupiter, Florida, where the family lives. The son, who goes by his middle name Luke, had placed his left hand over his eyes, while his mother encouraged him by saying, “You can do it. Let’s go,” as she filmed him.
“Thought we had a clear window, turns out we did some character building instead, stay safe everyone!” Trump’s Instagram photo read.

What Lara Trump is doing by making her child stay in the storm scared while filming him is abuse. Plain and simple.
