Several Jewish media outlets, including the Forward, reported that she was Jewish because she was married under a chuppah-like structure by her Jewish brother-in-law, Jared Kushner. She worked as a personal trainer and was also a producer for “Inside Edition” on CBS before she married Eric in 2014 at the Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach. Today the club is known as the Winter White House, where the president often spends his weekends.
Twitter users cheered on the Trumps, but others used the announcement to take a dig at the couple, suggesting they count their blessings for having health insurance and not having to fear being deported.
@howcomhimiswear @LMicucci Good thing he’s not taking away HER health insurance.

Correction, March 21, 4:08 p.m.: An earlier version of this article stated that Lara Trump was Jewish. The White House has confirmed that she is not.
Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
