is excerpt discusses the 2025 Grammy Awards ceremony, which featured widespread criticism of Trump's immigration policies and ICE raids.
Key points:
• The show opened with jokes about Trump and Nicki Minaj's recent White House meeting
• Multiple artists made anti-ICE statements and defended immigrants, including Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish, Shaboozzi, Olivia Dean, and Kehlani
• Bon Iver wore a whistle on the red carpet to honor Minneapolis "observers" who warn communities about ICE raids
• The commentary argues this represents a cultural shift against Trump, contrasting with the pre-2024 election period when "Manosphere podcasters" supported him
• The analysis suggests Trump craves validation from the cultural elite who reject him, citing his past failed attempts to join exclusive circles like NFL ownership
• The video concludes that Trump has "lost his grip on culture," which is politically significant, especially heading into an election year
The overall message is that the Grammys reflected a broader national mood turning against Trump's immigration enforcement policies, and that this cultural backlash has political implications.
