A starlet with a history of “hate” for America took a new run at turning away audiences with a social media rant, checking if supporters of the president were benefiting from “widespread suffering.”
Despite repeated examples of anticipated films getting torpedoed by a star’s insistence on venturing outside of their lane, like Disney’s live action “Snow White” over Rachel Zegler’s woke-peddling, Ariana Grande waded into politics once more weeks ahead of the release of the “Wicked” sequel.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday, the pop star and actress with a record of backing leftist politicians saw fit to share a post to her story from an activist podcaster framing President Donald Trump’s America First agenda as devastating to communities and individual rights in exchange for the trivialized improvements in the economy.
“i want to check in with trump voters. 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? has your health insurance premium gone down? has you work/life balance improved? can you take a vacation yet? are you happier?” begged the post that concluded, “has the widespread suffering of others paid off for you in the way he promised it would, or are you still waiting?”

Though a decade older, the now-32-year-old entertainer appeared to have not grown a wit wiser since her July 2015 fiasco involving licking doughnuts in public.
At the time, Grande had been caught on video with her boyfriend at the time, seemingly taking turns putting their tongues to the desserts before a tray was brought out, prompting her to exclaim, “What the f*ck is that? I hate Americans. I hate America.”
Ensuing outrage at the time had led to her releasing a statement that read in part, “I am EXTREMELY proud to be an American and I’ve always made it clear that I love my country. What I said in a private moment with my friend, who was buying the donuts, was taken out of context and I am sorry for not using more discretion with my choice of words.”
She went on to lament childhood obesity rates, but her excuse was readily considered “Lame.”
Since then, little growth had been demonstrated as, after backing then-Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024 — four years after supporting Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (I) bid for the White House — she’d posted “holding the hand of every person who is feeling the immeasurable heaviness of this outcome today” when the California Democrat became a twice-failed presidential candidate.
Similarly, Grande had shared New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D) view that Trump made a “disastrous decision” following a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities and 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.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

While some of her supporters lapped up the talking point-laden dig, others on social media embraced the queries as they outlined exactly what was making them happier under Trump.
Well ignorance is bliss in the little world of the wealthy. As an average person I save $2000+/month on RX, eggs are still down 60%, unfortunately gas from CA is outrageous thanks to incompetent Newsom. So to answer your question, yes life is better under Trump w/a secure border

Less crime, improved resources, return to the constitution. I am much happier. Coming from a family of legal immigrants, they are happier, too

Yes. All that and more. And, the suffering you refer to is a perception. Communities are becoming safer. Stick to what you do best. Not politics.

No immigrants have been torn from anything, the only communities that have been “destroyed” have been those built upon illegals, so-called trans have been blamed only for what they have done, and – by the look of the post – free speech is nowhere near the “brink of collapse”.

Wrong questions @ArianaToday
Try these.
Is Trump:
roasting socialism in the US?
killing Iran’s nuclear programme?
helping Netanyahu kill Hamas?
making Europeans invest in defence?
cutting back the overmighty public sector?
smashing woke poison everywhere?@realDonaldTrump— John Scarlett (@Orionis_Beta) September 29, 2025
Damn happy and want more!

Isn’t she the same person who said she hates America while sneaking a lick on a donut in a shop, causing the health dept to reprimand a small business? I happened to be in that area and spoke to the owner right after. She almost ruined that business.
She hates America. pic.twitter.com/crsHJOalqw

One day Ariana will grow up and realize it’s about the future and vision of America becoming its best.
The prior administration had us circling the drain.Her voice makes her talented, but when it comes to wisdom and foresight it’s a total fail.
