Criticism of U.S. Political Landscape

During her remarks, Love criticized President Donald Trump and his inner circle, using the term "emperor-core" to describe what she sees as a culture of extravagance and wealth surrounding his administration. "In terms of Trump, and particularly this group... it's like emperor-core—like, [they're] wearing million-dollar watches," she said.

She went on to describe the political environment in America as increasingly concerning. "Emperor-core is going on at Mar-a-Lago. It's frightening now. It's like cyanide now," she remarked. House Creative Services / Wikimedia
