"IDK if I’m supposed to laugh or cry”: Indiana Fever’s Brianna Turner expresses disbelief over Donald Trump’s reign

Politics has always been a hotly contested subject. Topics such as diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), immigration, tariffs and the economy are the current hot topics being argued in the public square, both in person and online.

One of those participants in that public square is Brianna Turner of the Indiana Fever. Turner weighed in on the current political climate in the United States in light of the second term of President Donald Trump, who defeated Democrat candidate Kamala Harris in the 2024 Presidential election.

In a post to her X account, Turner wrote:

”Will society look back on current U.S. politics as a comedy or a tragedy? IDK if I’m supposed to laugh or cry whenever I read/ watch about the antics of the U.S. government”

The post, which has been viewed more than 7,000 times and reposted 23 times, sparked lively banter in the comments, with people both sharing and disagreeing with her viewpoint.
