Lara Trump was slammed for claiming that life would be better for father-in-law Donald Trump if he hadn't become president, Wonderwall.com can report. Lara, 43, who is married to the president's son Eric Trump, said in a recent interview that the commander-in-chief has been financially punished by entering politics - even as his net worth has climbed to $6.5 billion from $2.6 billion in a little over 14 months. Indeed, he's now so rich that he sits at No. 201 on the Forbes 400 list of the wealthiest Americans.
