Ariana Grande recently took to social media with a question for fans of President Donald Trump, and it did not go unnoticed by the White House.
“I want to check in with Trump voters,” Grande shared to her Instagram stories. “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?
“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?”
White House Spokesman Kush Desai responded by issuing a statement to multiple media outlets using the title of one of Grande’s hit songs, “Save Your Tears,” while making several claims about the president’s record.
“Save your tears, Ariana, because President Trump’s actions ended Joe Biden’s inflation crisis and are bringing trillions in new investments,” Desai said. “He even signed an executive order just like magic that paved the way for the FTC to crack down on Ticketmaster for ripping off Grande’s concert-going fans. Get well soon, Ariana!”
Grande has yet to respond but it was not the first time the singer and “Wicked” star has spoken out against Trump.
“Holding the hand of every person who is feeling the immeasurable heaviness of this outcome today,” she said after he was elected for a second time.
