Song Draws Widespread Negativity
Lara Trump’s latest musical endeavor, a cover of “Hero” dedicated to emergency first responders, has faced intense backlash on social media. Released in a three-minute clip on Labor Day, the song, a collaboration with Florida-based singer Madeline Jaymes, has been heavily criticized for its excessive auto-tuning.

Social Media Reactions
The song quickly went viral, but not for the reasons Trump might have hoped. Democratic strategist Rick Wilson likened it to “a wild hog and a sack of rusty cans being thrown into an industrial wood chipper.” Commentators on social media were particularly scathing, with some suggesting the song’s auto-tuning made it sound even worse than its original form. “Every note is a violation of the Geneva Convention,” one user humorously claimed, while another asked, “Why would anyone hang out on a fire escape in an evening gown?”
