Did President Trump sign an executive order demanding that Universal Music Group sign his daughter-in-law Lara Trump to a multi-album record deal? No, that's not true: The claim posted on a self-described parody account on X has no basis in reality. The White House website does not mention such an executive order. President Trump has not posted anything about it on his Truth Social account. The media covering President Trump's actions has not reported that it was signed.
The claim appeared in a post (archived here) published by @TheRealThelmaJ1 on X on October 6, 2025, with the caption "I thought Jennifer Lopez was from New York". An image of a fake White House message read:
THE WHITE HOUSE
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
For too long woke Record Companies have prioritized the music of non-Americans such as "Bad Bunny" and "Jennifer Lopez" That's why today President Trump signed an executive order demanding Universal Music Group sign Lara Trump to a multi-album record deal. Together we will make American Music Great Again!
Delivering for America!
This is what the post looked like at the time of writing:

The account posting the claim is a self-described parody account that only shares false claims.

The White House website's Briefings & Statements page (archived here), where all presidential actions are announced, does not mention Trump signing an order demanding the record company sign his daughter-in-law.
The demand is also not on President Trump's Truth Social timeline (archived here).
The top result of a Google search on October 6, 2025, for the keywords "lara trump record deal" is an Instagram post (archived here) with the meme and an acknowledgment that it is a parody.
Bad Bunny, who is Puerto Rican, and Jennifer Lopez, born in New York, are Americans.
