Ariana Grande Clashes with White House Over ICE, Trans Rights; Deputy Press Secretary Fights Back
Pop star Ariana Grande recently took to Instagram to criticise the Trump administration, sparking a response from White House deputy press secretary Kush Desai.
Grande's criticism centred around ICE raids, transphobic rhetoric, and free speech concerns. Her comments, posted on Instagram Stories, did not prompt a response from her representation regarding a White House comment.
Desai, in his response, defended the administration's actions. He claimed that President Trump's policies had ended Joe Biden's inflation crisis and attracted trillions in new investment. In a unique twist, Desai referenced some of Ariana Grande's song titles in his response, drawing attention to the unusual public exchange.
Desai also mentioned that President Trump had signed an executive order to crack down on Ticketmaster for overcharging fans, highlighting the administration's focus on consumer protection.
Ariana Grande's criticism of the Trump administration has led to a public exchange with White House deputy press secretary Kush Desai. While Grande's representation has not sought comment from the White House, Desai's response has drawn attention for its reference to Grande's song titles and its defence of the administration's policies.
