Pop singer Ariana Grande is the latest celebrity to be called out by the Trump administration after she reposted a social media post to her millions of followers, which criticized the current administration.
Activist Matt Bernstein used his social media platform to deliver what he called a “check-in” aimed at Trump supporters.
In a sharp message, he recalled the past 250 days, highlighting the consequences of immigration crackdowns, the targeting of transgender Americans, and growing concerns over free expression. Bernstein asked whether life has improved for the American public.

In response, White House Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai responded to Grande in a statement to US Weekly.
“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, referring to the singer’s music.
“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!”
Ariana Grande has not responded.
