Legendary superstar Ariana Grande ignites a war with Donald Trump by blasting MAGA world and asking them if their lives have "gotten better" as grocery prices skyrocket and "widespread suffering" unfolds.
She was just getting warmed up — and the White House quickly hit back...
“I want to check in with trump voters. I have one very genuine question: it’s been 250 days. now that immigrants have been violently torn from their families and communities have been destroyed, now that trans people have been blamed for virtually everything and live in fear, now that free speech is on the brink of collapse for us all — has your life gotten better?” read the message reshared to the singer's 373 million followers on Instagram. The message was originally written by podcaster Matt Bernstein.
“Have your groceries gotten cheaper?" the post continued. "Has your health insurance premium gone down? Has your work/life balance improved? Can you take a vacation yet? Are you happier? Has the widespread suffering of others paid off for you in the way he promised it would, or are you still waiting?”
The answer to the question, of course, is a resounding "no." Trump voters were gullible enough to believe that they were voting for a new "Golden Age." Instead, they've been dragged into a MAGA Dark Age as Trump's tariffs destroy the global economy and skyrocket inflation while his "big, beautiful bill" slashes $1 trillion from Medicaid and funnels even more wealth to the super-rich.
Grande has criticized Trump in the past. In June, she shared a photo of a sign that read: “Could someone explain which crimes get you deported and which ones get you elected President? It’s so confusing.”
This time, the celebrity-obsessed Trump administration decided to hit back with a message that made reference to some of Grande's biggest hits.
“Save your tears, Ariana. Because President Trump’s actions ended Joe Biden’s inflation crisis and are bringing in trillions in new investment,” White House Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai said in a statement to Entertainment Weekly. “He even signed an executive order just like magic that paved the way for the FTC to crack down on Ticketmaster for ripping off Ariana Grande’s concert-going fans. Get well soon, Ariana!”
Notably, Desai didn't address the meat of Grande's post for the simple reason that she can't. Grocery prices are skyrocketing, health insurance is out of control, and people are struggling to survive more than ever. A few tweaks to Ticketmaster won't change that.
