Lara Trump's Donald-Like Dance Moves Are Painfully Embarrassing (But We Can't Look Away)

Sweet fancy Moses! Determined to reignite her failed singing career, Lara Trump recorded a new song with Egyptian rap star Mohamed Ramadan. "Sah-Sah" drops on January 23, 2026, and features a video of the artists dancing in the Trump National Golf Club. Footage of the filming made the rounds online when Ramadan shared some of the production on his Instagram Stories.

In the video, the Fox News host, who married Eric Trump in 2014, can be seen in a blue leopard-print minidress and towering stilettos. The choreography appears to be improvised; she bounces, steps back and forth, and swings her arms, occasionally raising her hands upward. It was certainly ... something, and viewers immediately rushed to comment on Lara's technique. Remember the "Seinfeld" episode in which George describes Elaine's awkward dancing as "a full-body dry heave set to music"? That was a rave review by comparison. Everyone got their popcorn?

Lara Trump is a worse dancer than she is a singer...and that's saying something.

"I wish I could be the one not watching in the phrase 'Dance like no one's watching,'" lamented one person on X, while another jibed, "I've seen better dancers playing the Dance Dance Revolution game at the video arcade." One person pleaded, "Help me out. I can't tell if she's trying to dance or if the people in the room won't let her leave to go pee." At least one reviewer tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, though ultimately couldn't: "I hoped this was just the blocking during rehearsal for the real thing. This is full out? Dancing?" Others compared Lara to "a flamingo on Ritalin," "a rhino feeling the effects of a tranquilizer dart," and the inflatable waving tube men seen outside stores.

Of course, Lara Trump isn't the only member of the family known for embarrassing dance moves. Her father-in-law, President Donald Trump, is still the reigning champ in that department, though some people wish he'd "rein" it in. Melania Trump has accidentally revealed she's not a fan of Donald's awkward moves, and son Barron has been seen stepping away from his dad when he starts his signature back-and-forth fist pumping. There's a big difference between daughter and father-in-law, though. The president's dance is as much a part of his branding as his swoopy hair and his makeup fails. He's all about the message: This is who I am, and if you don't like it, you probably hate America, too. 

The Fox News host, on the other hand, has tried to establish herself as a serious musician. Lara's music career got off to a rocky start when she recorded a cover of Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down," defying a cease-and-desist order sent to the Trump campaign from Petty's estate. Lara claimed her rendition was deliberately being kept off streaming platforms instead of simply being uninteresting (or downright humiliating). 

Yet Lara continues to move forward, recording new material and even offering to perform at the alternate Super Bowl halftime show being assembled by Turning Point USA (for those who feel the American music star Bad Bunny isn't "American" enough). Is Lara trying to live out a childhood dream, or is this an attempt to milk the spotlight while the Trumps are still in the White House? Whatever the reason, she isn't backing down — and the snarkers are okay with that.
