Trump's SOTU Faces Economic Reality Check

• Trump's economic promises are under scrutiny as voter confidence wanes.

• The Supreme Court's decision on tariffs adds pressure to Trump's economic agenda.
• Trump aims to highlight his administration's achievements and future plans for the American Dream.

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.

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?
