During a recent appearance on NBC's Saturday Night Live, pop sensation and Kamala Harris supporter Lizzo took a swipe at President Donald Trump.
The singer donned a crop top emblazoned with the word "TARIFFIED," a clear nod to the President's tariff policies. Lizzo, who had previously campaigned for Kamala Harris, who was defeated by President Trump in a remarkable landslide victory in the 2024 election, made her statement during her performance, exclaiming, "Its the end of the world!" before revealing her provocative attire.
In her rendition of the 2025 hit "Still Bad," Lizzo sang, I dont need him, I need a drink. Lets turn this pain into some champagne, baby. Like cheers, bitch, its been a day, further emphasizing, Its been a day, its been a year! According to Breitbart, her "TARIFFIED" shirt was a critique of President Trump's recent tariff measures targeting the Chinese Communist Party and other nations.
Earlier this month, President Trump announced that foreign trade practices had precipitated a national emergency, prompting the introduction of tariffs aimed at bolstering the United States' international economic standing and safeguarding American workers. The White House stated that these measures were necessary to address the economic challenges posed by unfair trade practices.
In a move that sent shockwaves through the financial markets, stocks surged last week after President Trump temporarily halted tariff increases on several U.S. trade partners while imposing a hefty 125 percent tariff on China. By Thursday, the administration had escalated tariffs on China to a staggering 145 percent.
Despite Lizzo's apparent disapproval, not everyone shares her perspective on the President's tariff strategy. As reported by Breitbart News, U.S. seafood harvesters have expressed gratitude for the tariffs, noting that President Trump "threw us a lifeline" amid the domestic shrimp industry's struggles.
Additionally, Kevin OLeary, a prominent figure from ABC's Shark Tank, voiced his support for the tariffs, telling TMZ that China has engaged in deceitful practices concerning technology and trade for years. OLeary even advocated for a 400 percent tariff against the communist regime.
As the debate over tariffs continues, it is evident that President Trump's policies have sparked a range of reactions, from criticism by entertainers like Lizzo to praise from industry stakeholders and business leaders. The ongoing discourse underscores the complexities of international trade and the diverse opinions surrounding the administration's approach.
