Ariana Grande has been told to ‘save your tears’ from the White House after her scathing post of the Trump administration.

The Wicked star took to Instagram on Sunday (September 28) to repost a message to her Story which didn’t mince words.

It opened with: “I want to check in with Trump voters. I have one very genuine question.”

The post continued: “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?”

It didn’t stop there, as the post pressed MAGA supporters further: “Have your groceries gotten cheaper? Has your health insurance premium gone down? Has your work/life balance improved? Can you take a vacation yet? Are you happier?

This isn’t the singer’s first political rodeo – back in 2020, she publicly backed Bernie Sanders for the top job. Four years later, she stood by Kamala Harris – Trump’s last competitor that he pipped at the polls back in November.

Her remarks caused a stir in Washington DC, as White House spokesperson Kush Desai told LADbible Group: “Save your tears, Ariana, because President Trump’s actions ended Joe Biden’s inflation crisis and are bringing in trillions in new investments.”

Before even referencing Grande’s ‘just like magic’ hit, as he added: “He even signed an executive order just like magic that paved the way for the FTC [Federal Trade Commission] to crack down on Ticketmaster for ripping off Ariana Grande’s concert-going fans.

“Get well soon, Ariana!”

Back in June, Grande reposted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s fiery criticism of Trump’s bombing of Iran, which the Democrat called a ‘grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers’.

She labeled Trump’s action a ‘grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers’ before insisting that it was ‘absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment’.

“The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote. “He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.”

However, the president defended the operation which he described as a necessary measure to protect both America’s interests as well as supporting Israel as tensions simmer in the Middle East.

UNILAD has contacted Ariana Grande and the White House for comment.
