President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, said he recently texted her one of the White House's social media videos related to the Iran war
"It was like a video of some, like, bombing," Lara told Katie Miller on Tuesday, April 21, during an appearance on The Katie Miller Podcast. "He's proud of it"
The White House has posted a string of "hype videos" using footage from the war since fighting began in February
President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, said the president was so "proud of” a recent White House social media video related to the war in Iran that he texted it to her himself.
The Fox News host and wife of Trump’s third child, Eric Trump, revealed the message during a Tuesday, April 21, episode of The Katie Miller Podcast. Host Katie Miller, who is married to White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, asked Lara to share the last text she received from the president.
“I think it was a video that the White House put out, and it just said, ‘Love, DJT.’ It was like a video of some, like, bombing,” Lara responded, laughing. “He’s proud of it. It was good.”
Lara did not specify which video Trump had sent her. The administration’s most recent social media post to feature footage of the U.S. and Israel’s strikes in Iran, published on X on March 27, is an advertisement for a new White House app. Another, on March 13, shows U.S. forces bombing military targets on Kharg Island, Iran’s primary oil export hub in the Persian Gulf.
The White House interspersed video clips of its strikes in Iran with imagery from Nintendo’s Wii Sports in a post on March 12, and cut footage of the strikes with clips from various action movies and TV shows on March 5. The latter post was criticized by Ben Stiller for using footage from his 2008 comedy Tropic Thunder, which follows a group of actors who are unwittingly dropped into a Southeast Asian war zone.
“We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine,” Stiller wrote last month on X. “War is not a movie.”

Other celebrities and prominent political figures have also criticized the White House’s “hype videos.” During an appearance on CNN in mid-March, New York Democratic Rep. Pat Ryan said Trump “continues to act and behave as if this is some sort of a video game.”
“It's disgraceful,” Ryan said.

Ed Reed, a retired safety for the Baltimore Ravens, said he opposed a video that juxtaposed football highlights, including his own, with footage from the Iran war. “I do not approve this message,” the Hall of Famer wrote in response to the video on X.
Ray Lewis, a retired Ravens linebacker who is also featured in the post, said he did not give the White House permission to use his image and disapproved of the highlights “being used to compare football to war.”
“The game I love is about discipline, brotherhood, and respect. War is something entirely different,” Lewis said in a statement to HuffPost. “Lives are at stake. God bless our troops and their families.”
