I love Trumpian logic. If you lose an election, it’s because it was stolen. If a gawdawful nasal karaoke song isn’t a hit, it’s because you were shadow banned. It never occurs to anyone named Trump that maybe they stink at a particular endeavor and people don’t want what they’re selling. That’s thinking for normal folks. If you’re a Trump, you believe that you are in possession of skills and talents that you only wish you had. Look up Dunning-Kruger Effect for a perfect description of this phenomenon. It means a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities.

Here is Laura in yet another extravaganza musicale — with appropriate sound effects.

Lara Trump has been trending on Twitter five or six days now. It just keeps getting worse. If you missed (lucky you) the original frou frou, you can listen to a few stanzas of Lara singing in this clip.

Maybe Cher could have a word with Lara. She’s been singing longer than Lara’s been breathing, maybe Lara would listen to her. Ya think?

You see the presumption here. The song “should” be a hit and if it’s not, then somebody sabotaged it in some manner. Eric, I got news for you. Everybody who puts something creative into the world thinks it should be a hit. Sometimes, people with actual ability, do get their story read, or get cast in a show, whatever. But a lot of time, even talented people don’t have the success they think they should.

If Wifey can’t accept that reality, she needs to stay out of the arts. In her case, she needs to stay out of the arts because she stinks, but even if she had ability, if she can’t deal with the ups and downs of creative endeavor, then she absolutely should bow out. And believe me, I have heard agents and acting coaches, what have you, tell this to people. I worked in the studios in the early 80’s and everybody thought they had what it took to be a star. Wrong. (Plus Eric can’t spell “viciously” did you notice?”

What’s drop dead hilarious about this, is that Lara doesn’t seem to even entertain the idea that maybe she has no talent for this line of work. And I get it that she wishes she could sing. I love Broadway show tunes. I would LOVE to be able to sing “Memories” from Cats! or “Aldonza’s Song” from Man Of La Mancha. I love all that stuff. I don’t have it in me. Most people don’t.

Here’s somebody else who can’t sing, but give the man credit. At least he didn’t complain that he was being shadow banned, okay?

And there is this: the Trump family has already dealt with Tom Petty on this issue and his Estate is not likely to change what has already taken place.

The song even bombed on Truth Social, you believe that?

I guess Lara is the Joan of Arc of the Trump family. She’s going to get on a horse and lead the troops into battle. In her dreams.

Well, so far it’s only gotten worse. I wonder what she’ll do for an encore.

  1. Their song remains the same: a duet of belligerent screaming harpies trapped in their own echo chamber. It’s their world and their created it. Just like the rest of that crime family they too are doomed. Disconnected from reality, but not quite detached from the rational world that they persistently attempt to grift and milk, and bitch about when it both doesn’t, first, accepts their pretences, and second, serves back to them the reality check of what they are – puerile, pretentious, spoilt, entitled parasites.

  2. “I would LOVE to be able to sing “Memories” from Cats!”

    Just a nitpick but the song is “Memory.” And, honestly, it’s not that challenging a song as long as you’re singing it in a comfortable key (the song is written in B♭ major, shifts to G♭ major and ends in D♭ major) and not trying to imitate Elaine Paige, Betty Buckley or Barbra Streisand (or Nicole Scherzinger, Leona Lewis or Jennifer Hudson). I mean, Barry Manilow had a Top 40 pop hit with the song in 1982 and Manilow tended to sing in a range that allowed his fans to sing along without strain (one site even has his range on the song running from a low of B♭2 to a high of C#5–just over two octaves).

    Also, as I’m posting this, la diva Trump is sitting at #32 on the iTunes Store (between two versions of a song by K-Pop singer, Jung Kook, along with Jack Harlow). And about halfway between the two biggest Taylor Swift songs (#12 “Cruel Summer” and #53 “Anti-Hero”).

  3. This attempt by this gal (and her idiot hubby) to make her into a pop star could, given the humor of the whole thing be considered the gift that keeps on giving. As long as you don’t listen to it. Once you have, especially that bit during the interview without music or a sound mixer to clean things up some. That turns it into the projectile vomiting that keeps on vomiting.

    • … and whilst the “… projectile vomiting …” is happening, one’s ears are concurrently bleeding from the injurious decibels that are being vomited from her vocal cords.

  4. It’s the subculture of generational wealth that tends to produce empty, attention seeking narcissists. She looks around, and all the pissants around her are ‘famous’, although they are terrible human beings. Why not think…hey I’m smarter and more talented than they are, I should be more important. Our culture of money driven greed, has elevated vacuous, greedy, selfish, stupid people to positions of power. It produces lots of ‘stars’, all gold plated with bullsh*t made of plastic. In a culture that accepts ‘alternative facts’ from the whitehouse, and then elects the liars to office, alternative humans are no big deal. What’s your next hit Lara? Running With The Devil?

  5. Would be better to emulate Lady Godiva. I shall wear no clothes till my song is accepted. Oh I forgot. That’s Don jr.s hoes gig. Anyway I’d like to see you get Cher to talk to her. Lotsa luck 🍀 with that. Although I did think it sounded alright. But how did you figure out the translation from human to dog.

  6. He spelled it correctly, they are banning her “viscously” by pouring a thick gooey substance over it to deaden the horrible sound.
    Looks like Smedley Dippenshite doesn’t know that spell check and grammar check are two different things.
