The White House didn't take kindly to pop superstar Ariana Grande's criticism of President Donald Trump.
Grande reshared a post on Sunday night to her Instagram Stories, questioning whether MAGA fans have actually benefited from Trump 2.0. The post originally came from activist Matt Bernstein and asked Trump voters: "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?”
Her post received a curt response from White House Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai, who sent a statement to Entertainment Weekly that incorporated some of Grande’s song titles, including "Save Your Tears," "Just Like Magic," and "Get Well Soon."
“Save your tears, Ariana. Because President Trump’s actions ended Joe Biden’s inflation crisis and are bringing in trillions in new investment,” 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 Ariana Grande’s concert-going fans. Get well soon, Ariana!”
