A number of conservatives took offense to the "Barbie" movie when it came out, like Meghan McCain, who slammed "Barbie" for having a feminist message, and Senator Ted Cruz, who thought it promoted communism. There were calls for boycotts of the movie, and some went so far as to film themselves burning Barbie dolls. Beyond the confusion from Trump fans over Lara Trump's seeming support of Barbie with her new hat, some think that she might be getting a call from Mattel's lawyers for using a font on her hat that looks so much like the Barbie logo. No word yet from Mattel regarding Lara's hat and any potential legal action.
One Instagram commenter thought this was just another example of Lara taking someone else's idea for her own: "You don't have an original idea in that noggin of yours. You steal from Tom Petty and Now Barbie. And Barbie is so not MAGA." Lara recorded a version of Tom Petty's "Won't Back Down" in September 2023, and previously, Tom Petty's family had asked Donald Trump to stop using the song at his rallies.
But despite all the haters, some absolutely loved the hat and Lara; one person wrote, "beautiful cap on a beautiful lady!" While others noted that they're hoping to get one for Christmas.
