Photos: Why did Mohamed Ramadan meet with Lara Trump in New York?
A photo of Egyptian artist Mohamed Ramadan with Lara Trump, the wife of President Donald Trump's son, has gone viral on social media. While Ramadan expressed his pleasure at being invited by Lara Trump to visit, a number of celebrities circulated photos revealing a completely different side to the story. Despite he'd written in his post, the meeting was not at the Trump family home, according to a Facebook post by a member of the National Press Club's Committee on Press Freedom, Ahmed Omar. Instead, it took place at the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, a luxury resort owned by Trump in New Jersey, which is known for hosting major political and social events – not as a family residence.

This is also an appreciation for Arab-African music.' 'Something great is coming, God willing,' he added. The Egyptian artist's photos sparked a wave of speculation among social media users regarding the big surprise Mohamed Ramadan asked his followers to prepare for. Maccio meanwhile tweeted on August 6 that on August 8, the charitable foundation would host prominent stars, including Lara Trump and American YouTuber Chad Brother. The event was held to 'restore sound values toward a new golden age of music and culture in America.' The 'Make Music Right' foundation aims to promote a musical culture in America that enriches and strengthens society. It also seeks to build a movement to educate Americans about the role of music in shaping perspectives and to foster a musical culture that supports traditional values. According to the official announcement, the prices to participate in the initiative were: Standard Attendance Ticket : $1,000 : $1,000 VIP Ticket: $2,500 $2,500 VIP Photo Opportunity: $3,500 The event also offered sponsorships for organizations and companies starting at $10,000 for the silver tier and $25,000 for the next tier. Who is Lara Trump? Lara Lea Yunaska Trump, born in 1982, is a former American media personality and has been married to Eric Trump since 2014. Lara played a prominent role in Trump's 2016 and 2020 election campaigns. In 2024, she became the co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC). She is seen as one of the most visible female figures in Trump's inner circle and uses her media presence to support the conservative agenda in the US. The official goal of the event The meeting took place during a promotional event for the 'Make Music Right Again' movement, an initiative launched by Lara Trump as a clear nod to Trump's famous campaign slogan, 'Make America Great Again' (MAGA). The movement aims to integrate music into conservative political discourse and present artistic works that reflect traditional American identity and values.
