Speaking about the November midterms, Lara Trump brought up, while sharing a graphic from a recent poll on the screen, the fact that the top issue for voters in the United States is their cost of living.
But her father-in-law and his administration have repeatedly denied there's any issues with the economy. In December, Donald Trump called the concept of affordability a Democratic "scam." Members of the Trump team have been singing the same tune ever since.
But Leavitt unveiled a new, but also old, response in her recent Fox News interview.
Like a broken record, Leavitt said:
"I would remind your viewers and the American people of who caused the affordability crisis in this country. It was Biden and Democrats."
The POTUS's mouthpiece further divorced herself from economic reality by claiming:
"President Trump took immediate action on day one to fix that. All these things will only get better if given two more years with a Republican Congress."
You can see the moment here:
Leavitt got savaged online for her response to the higher costs that happened after Trump took office.

Trump's approval rating has tanked since taking office.
While his foreign policy flubs, destruction of the White House and other national monuments, and deadly attacks on immigrants, American citizens, and Iranian school girls have drawn widespread backlash outside the Republican Party, GOP voters and even some of his MAGA minions hit their last straw over their increased costs at the gas pump and on daily essentials like food.
Until November, expect the Trump administration to throw every excuse they can at the economic crisis Trump's tariffs and war with Iran created to try to not also tank the midterms.
TikToker "Caroline in the City" was concerned, then, after watching Waddingham's latest show, Ride or Die on Prime. In a video, the TikToker pointed out that beauty filters were clearly being used on select facial features.
While the expression lines on her forehead and on her cheeks when she smiles or frowns were still visible in the new show, her undereyes are totally smooth with no natural creases or aging lines.
TikToker Caroline said:
"I was watching 'Ride or die,' and I couldn't believe how much skin softening had been applied."
"They’ve been very selective with this application. You’ll notice in the show that most of her forehead lines, as well as lines around her face and her neck, are all there."
"However, the area underneath her eye has been completely smoothed out."
"Once you see it, you can't unsee it, and it might ruin the rest of the show for you."
You can watch the video here:
Some pointed out that the filters conflicted with Waddingham's performance.
The problem with this is that the smoothing filters conflict with her facial expressions, making her expressions, particularly involving her eyes, less effective or believable.

Others reassured that Waddingham was aging beautifully and did not need the assistance of filters.

Filters have been used for decades, from coloration of a film to incredible makeup artistry, to transform the look and feel of the movie and its characters.
But selectively filtering an actor's face to smooth certain features feels less like an embrace of natural aging and natural beauty, and much more like an underlying message of only some aging being beautiful. It's a harmful message to spread, and it's important that it's being discussed.
