NEW YORK — Lara Trump has a front-row seat to one of the craziest elections in the history of American politics.
The Wrightsville Beach native is the daughter-in-law of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, and wife to his son, Eric. Despite being a small-town girl at heart, Lara has found herself at the center of the biggest story in the country — the race for its highest office. And each day is crazier than the last.
“I think we can all agree we have never seen an election process like this,” Lara said from her New York home. “It is the most interesting political year that I think most of us can remember. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. To see history made week after week and to be there with a front-row seat to it all is incredible. That has been the best part for me.”
Home state win
When her famous father in law first announced his run for the most coveted office in the land, Lara promised to secure him her home state’s support in the primary.
At his March 9 rally in Fayetteville, Donald pulled Eric and Lara on stage to talk about her North Carolina roots. The mere mention of her home in Wilmington drew roars from the crowd that rivaled even those given to Donald and his speech.
“I had no idea people would react like that,” she said. “There is nothing more exciting to me than to be in my home state and have the support of people I grew up with and around.”
As the North Carolina primary results trickled in March 15, Lara said she was watching with the rest of the Trump family and shot Donald a big smile when he snagged the win.
“We all high-fived and hugged,” she said. “My state came through. It was awesome.”
Lara took time off from her day job as a reporter for “Inside Edition” to campaign in North Carolina. But otherwise, she has maintained her day job, traveling, often on little sleep, in and around New York covering stories for the syndicated news program. Still, she’s present on the campaign trail, attending all debates and campaign stops whenever her schedule allows, talking with voters and acting as conduits to The Donald himself.
“At this point, I have no vacation days left, but I’ll take them another year,” she said, laughing.
Quiet moments
As the Republican field has been whittled down, Donald has risen with spirited speeches that tout his big ideas and draw even bigger cheers from crowds of thousands.
But Lara said the moments before he steps out on stage are considerably more reserved.
“It is a very calm, relaxed atmosphere,” she said. “He asks our opinions; we give him feedback. He is not scripted, not rehearsed or reading off a teleprompter. He basically makes notes and talks from what comes to mind and from the heart.”
But in recent weeks, Donald’s campaign has been marred by a flurry of increasingly violent protests, with some citing the candidate for encouraging the rough treatment of protesters.
Lara said Donald has been vocal about liking protesters because they turn the cameras to the crowd, showing just how many people are responding to his ideas.
She was not with the campaign during the Chicago rally that was canceled after protesters were deemed a security risk. But she was in Fayetteville, where dozens of protesters interrupted Donald’s speech and one was assaulted by a Trump supporter as he was being escorted out.
“The protesters have made themselves very apparent at his rallies and we all expect to see them,” she said. “But from our vantage point, we don’t really know what happens in the moment.”
Road ahead
The passion both for and against Trump and his seemingly unstoppable campaign is likely to continue.
As of March 25, Donald is the frontrunner for the Republican nomination. As the days until the convention dwindle, Lara said the possibly of the Trumps continuing on to the November election is becoming all the more realistic.
“I think we all are gearing up for a busy fall,” she said.

Two Hour Interview – Donald Trump Says: “America First” – New York Times Is Gobsmacked…
March 27, 2016 by sundance
How dare he. Just, well, how dare he. That’s the takeaway sense you get when you review the New York Times framing of a two hour ‘on-the-record’ interview with Donald Trump referencing a world-view and foreign policy outlook.
It is refreshing, and it is bizarre we can even use the word “refreshing“, to see an American candidate for the American Presidency, say their goal is to actually put America-first in all policy decisions.
It’s not protectionism, it’s patriotism.
It’s not isolationism, it’s common sense.
Almost all of Europe and most of Asia are capable of spending Trillions of dollars on their infrastructure, Airports, bullet-trains, high-speed rail, bridges, ‘Chunnels’, and the list goes on…. quite simply because they don’t spend much on their own national defense, and prefer to hide behind our military apron when needed.
To pay for this enomorus international military/police force, and overly generous commitment, we, in turn, put ourselves into debt and can’t spend on our own domestic needs. This is not international economic theory, it’s a reality – and for the first time in decades a politician is saying enough is enough. Charity begins at home!
(New York Times) – […] Mr. Trump’s views, as he explained them, fit nowhere into the recent history of the Republican Party: He is not in the internationalist camp of President George Bush, nor does he favor President George W. Bush’s call to make it the United States’ mission to spread democracy around the world. He agreed with a suggestion that his ideas might be summed up as “America First.”
“Not isolationist, but I am America First,” he said. “I like the expression.” He said he was willing to reconsider traditional American alliances if partners were not willing to pay, in cash or troop commitments, for the presence of American forces around the world. “We will not be ripped off anymore,” he said.
In the past week, the bombings in Brussels and an accelerated war against the Islamic State have shifted the focus of the campaign trail conversation back to questions of how the candidates would defend the United States and what kind of diplomacy they would pursue around the world.
Mr. Trump explained his thoughts in concrete and easily digestible terms, but they appeared to reflect little consideration for potential consequences. Much the same way he treats political rivals and interviewers, he personalized how he would engage foreign nations, suggesting his approach would depend partly on “how friendly they’ve been toward us,” not just on national interests or alliances.
At no point did he express any belief that American forces deployed on military bases around the world were by themselves valuable to the United States, though Republican and Democratic administrations have for decades argued that they are essential to deterring military adventurism, protecting commerce and gathering intelligence.
Like Richard M. Nixon, Mr. Trump emphasized the importance of “unpredictability” for an American president, arguing that the country’s traditions of democracy and openness had made its actions too easy for adversaries and allies alike to foresee.
“I wouldn’t want them to know what my real thinking is,” he said of how far he was willing to take the confrontation over the islands in the South China Sea, which are remote and lightly inhabited but extend China’s control over a major maritime thoroughfare. But, he added, “I would use trade, absolutely, as a bargaining chip.” (read more)
