My View with Lara Trump is an American television program that airs on Fox News and is hosted by Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of American president Donald Trump. The program airs every Saturday at 9 p.m. ET[2] live from Fox News headquarters in New York City. The first episode premiered on February 22, 2025.[3][4][5]
Format
[edit]Each episode is structured into multiple segments, beginning with a monologue from Lara Trump, followed by in-depth discussions on trending political and social issues. The show also includes interviews with high-profile figures and personal stories aimed at highlighting conservative values. Occasionally, the program features lighter segments that focus on American culture, family, and faith.[6]
Airing on Saturdays at 9 p.m. Eastern Time, My View with Lara Trump is positioned as an alternative to mainstream daytime talk shows, offering a platform for conservative voices in a format that blends opinion, analysis, and entertainment.[7][6]
History
[edit]Lara Trump first joined Fox News as contributor on March 29, 2021.[8][9]
On February 5, 2025, Fox Corporation announced the new show titled My View with Lara Trump would premiere on February 22, 2025, as part of the network's weekend primetime lineup, airing on Saturdays at 9 p.m. Eastern Time, taking over the time slot previously held by One Nation with Brian Kilmeade, which moved to Sundays at 10 p.m.[10][11]
The series premiere featured interviews with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, and United States Attorney General Pam Bondi, discussing their jobs in the Trump administration.[12][13][14]
Reception
[edit]The debut of My View received mixed reactions from media critics and the public. Some commentators raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest, given Lara Trump's position as both a talk-show host and a close relative of the sitting president. Critics argued that her role on the show could blur the lines between journalism and political influence, further intertwining Fox News with the Trump administration.[15][16]
The New Yorker highlighted concerns about Lara Trump's new role on Fox News, stating that her position "raises ethical concerns, particularly about conflicts of interest and the blurring of political and media boundaries."[17]
Despite harsh criticism from liberal-leaning journalists and political commentators concerns, the show's launch was well received by Trump supporters and conservative viewers, who praised its focus on conservative perspectives and its positioning as an alternative to mainstream talk shows. Some analysts noted that while it is not uncommon for political figures or their relatives to transition into media roles, Lara Trump's family-ties connection to the President of the United States made her case particularly notable and unique.[18]
After the debut episode aired on February 22, 2025, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow criticized Lara Trump by personally attacking her looks in the series debut, saying "plastic surgery left her face looking like a horse".[19][20][21] Those words quickly went viral with thousands of others sharing the same narrative on the social media platform Bluesky, a safe space for Democratic Party officials and users.[22][23][24][25]
