Trump's SOTU Faces Economic Reality Check

Is This the Real Life Is This Just Fantasy?

Okay dolls so like everyone's talking about Trump's State of the Union address. Apparently the polls are saying people aren't exactly feeling the *~vibes~* of his economy right now. He promised like lower prices and stuff but is that even happening? I feel like even my glam squad is charging extra these days. It's a tough time to be a billionaire – just kidding. Kind of.

The Supreme Court Said WHAT Now?

So I heard the Supreme Court like totally went against Trump's tariff plans. Tariffs are like taxes on imported stuff right? It's supposed to help American businesses but apparently it's not always working. I mean I get it. Sometimes my lip kits are delayed because of shipping issues and it's a total disaster. Check out this article Tariff Tsunami US Fiscal Fate Hangs on Supreme Court Verdict to learn more about it. Anyway it sounds like it impacts the bigger picture of things!

Energy Prices? I Thought We Were Talking About Lip Kits

Apparently the VP JD Vance thinks Trump will talk about lowering energy prices. I'm like 'Lower them how?' Is he going to give everyone a discount code? Because like I could use one too. Gas for my G Wagon isn't cheap you know. I mean Stormi needs to get to school. Someone pass me my iced latte.

Affordability is the New Black

Democrats are like totally attacking Trump on affordability. Which like I get. Healthcare food housing – it all adds up. Even for me. Okay maybe not *that* much for me but I can relate. Like when I see the price of avocado toast these days? I'm shook. Seriously what is affordability in the era of luxury?

Democrats Throwing Shade... And Rebuttals

So Abigail Spanberger a Democrat is giving the official response to Trump's speech. She's gonna talk about costs and immigration. Which like is a lot. I'm pretty sure that I couldn't do that. I'd probably just talk about my new lip gloss line or my latest vacation. But you know politics and stuff.

Silent Defiance or Total Boycott?

Some Democrats are even boycotting the speech to attend a "People's State of the Union." Talk about drama. I mean I get it. Sometimes you just don't want to be in the same room as someone. But Hakeem Jeffries wants his members to keep it classy. "Silent defiance," he said. So like the political version of a subtle Instagram shade?
