“What to post today, without even thinking.”
📅 April 2, 2025

✅ Top 3 Must-Post Trends

1. Trump’s “Liberation Day” Tariffs Could Reshape Global Trade

🔥 What Happened:
President Trump is set to announce a sweeping new set of tariffs today at 4 p.m. ET, in what he’s branding “Liberation Day.” The policy centers on "reciprocal tariffs," which means other countries will face the same import duties the U.S. faces when exporting to them. This could apply to goods from China, the EU, Mexico, Canada, and more. The announcement has already caused major unease on Wall Street — with early trading showing the Dow and Nasdaq both dropping 1–2%. Economists estimate the tariffs could raise consumer prices by 2.1%–2.6%, especially on imported electronics, clothes, and groceries.

🎯 Why It’s a Post Opportunity:
This affects literally everyone. It’s economic policy turned cultural flashpoint. Whether your audience cares about politics, prices, or just vibes, this trend has emotional stakes. Plus, everyone loves to dunk on or defend Trump — and this offers both.

✍️ Post Idea:

• TikTok: “POV: Shopping for back-to-school clothes after Trump’s tariffs hit.”

• IG Carousel: “5 Everyday Items That Might Cost You More Starting Today”

• Twitter/X: “Liberation Day is here. $12 avocados incoming.”

📣 CTA:
“Will these tariffs help U.S. workers or just make stuff more expensive? What’s your take?”

2. Val Kilmer Dies at 65: A Hollywood Legacy Remembered

🔥 What Happened:
Val Kilmer, one of Hollywood’s most iconic and versatile leading men, has died at the age of 65 from pneumonia complications. He rose to fame in the 1980s and 90s, playing everything from action stars (Top Gun, The Saint) to cultural legends (The Doors, Tombstone) and even the Dark Knight himself in Batman Forever. Diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014, Kilmer later used AI voice technology to restore his speech, as documented in the 2021 film Val.

🎯 Why It’s a Post Opportunity:
This is a generational grief moment. Older fans are reflecting on his 80s–90s dominance, younger fans are discovering his legacy, and Top Gun: Maverick reintroduced him to a whole new audience. His story of health, reinvention, and AI-assisted resilience also touches on themes creators care about.

✍️ Post Idea:

• TikTok: “The 5 roles that made Val Kilmer unforgettable — and why we needed them.”

• IG Reel: Dramatic scenes with voiceover tribute

• Twitter/X: “Val Kilmer wasn’t just Iceman. He was Jim Morrison, Batman, and the weird genius behind so many 90s classics. RIP, legend.”

📣 CTA:
“What’s your favorite Val Kilmer scene of all time? Drop a clip or line below.”

3. Morgan Wallen Turns SNL Exit Into Merch Moment

🔥 What Happened:
Country star Morgan Wallen abruptly exited Saturday Night Live’s live broadcast during the traditional final sendoff, sparking immediate controversy. His Instagram post moments later read “Get Me to God’s Country,” which now appears on newly launched merch. The stunt came after host Mikey Madison’s remarks that may have made Wallen uncomfortable, although no official reason for the walk-off has been given. Kenan Thompson weighed in on a podcast, saying Wallen is “a complicated individual,” fueling both fan sympathy and public backlash.

🎯 Why It’s a Post Opportunity:
This blends celebrity drama, brand pivoting, and performance art — plus it's highly memeable. The merch drop, whether viewed as shameless or savvy, has already sold out in some sizes. It’s a real-time case study in personal brand resilience.

✍️ Post Idea:

• TikTok: “Morgan Wallen walking off SNL and immediately selling hoodies is the most 2025 thing ever.”

• IG Carousel: “From SNL stage to Shopify: How controversy became commerce”

• Twitter/X: “He left SNL, dropped a cryptic IG post, and monetized it in 24 hours. Marketing lesson or meltdown?”

📣 CTA:
“Would YOU buy a hoodie to commemorate your worst work moment? Why or why not?”

Honestly, I’m baffled that anyone is surprised consumer prices are spiking after tariffs were announced. Like... what did we think happens when you raise taxes on imports from countries that supply most of our stuff? This isn’t even Econ 101 — it’s common sense. But hey, here we are, watching people act shocked that avocados might cost $11. It’s giving “I didn’t think actions had consequences.

📈 Other Trends You Shouldn’t Ignore

4. Susan Crawford Beats Musk-Backed Candidate in Wisconsin

✨ Liberal judge Susan Crawford won the state’s Supreme Court race, defeating a conservative opponent who was heavily funded by Elon Musk’s new political PAC. This is the first real-world test of Musk’s electoral influence after months of escalating political tweets and financial activity. The court decision could affect abortion access, voting rules, and future gerrymandering cases.

💡 Post Idea: “What happens when Elon Musk backs a candidate and still loses? Democracy wins… for now.”

🗣️ CTA: “Should billionaires fund judges? Let’s talk power and politics.”

5. Cory Booker Talks for 25 Hours Straight in the Senate

✨ New Jersey Senator Cory Booker just set a new record for the longest continuous speech in Senate history — clocking in at 25 hours and 7 minutes. His speech covered immigration, economic inequality, and climate change, while repeatedly criticizing Trump’s policies. He reportedly prepared using meditation and energy snacks to power through the night.

💡 Post Idea: “Senator Booker spoke longer than most people sleep. Could you do the same for your beliefs?”

🗣️ CTA: “What cause could YOU speak on for 25 hours?”

6. “Dilly-Dallying” Trend Pushes Back on Productivity Culture

✨ TikTokers are rejecting hustle culture again — this time under the banner of “dilly-dallying,” a slow-living aesthetic that encourages doing nothing with intention. It’s part spiritual, part satirical, and emerged as a backlash to last summer’s “Brat” trend. Creator @sweirdest kicked it off by filming her doing nothing in a field while narrating her refusal to optimize her day.

💡 Post Idea: “Here’s what happened when I gave up productivity for a full day. Just vibes. #DillyDallying”

🗣️ CTA: “What’s your favorite way to do nothing?”

7. Idaho’s Nature Becomes Star of TikTok’s Latest Trend

✨ TikTok users are combining sweeping nature footage with soft indie tracks — and Idaho’s wilderness has emerged as the trend’s unofficial backdrop. With mountains, foggy lakes, and remote trails, the state is being discovered anew. Some tourism boards are scrambling to ride the wave.

💡 Post Idea: “Is this Idaho or a Windows screensaver? Either way, I’m moving.”

🗣️ CTA: “What’s the most peaceful place you’ve ever visited? Bonus points for local gems.”

8. German Shepherd Goes Viral Singing to the Hanuman Chalisa

✨ A video of a German Shepherd named Ragnar has racked up 11M+ views after his dramatic, almost reverent reaction to the Hindu devotional song Hanuman Chalisa. While unmoved by other pop tracks, Ragnar perked up, howled rhythmically, and appeared “entranced” when the chant began. Fans in India and beyond are calling it “divine doggo energy,” with some joking he may be a reincarnated bhakta.

💡 Post Idea: “Played different songs for my dog to see if he’s spiritually enlightened too… Results were unexpected 🐶🕉️”

🗣️ CTA: “Does your pet respond to music in weird or funny ways? Tag us with proof!”

9. YouTube Shorts Changes View Counts, Boosting Creators Overnight

✨ YouTube is now counting Shorts views the moment a video begins playing — no more waiting a few seconds for it to “register.” This aligns YouTube with TikTok and Reels, and creators have already noticed spikes in their metrics. While the change improves parity across platforms, some worry it could inflate numbers without reflecting true engagement.

💡 Post Idea: “Checked my YouTube views after the new update and nearly passed out. Algorithm, I love you.”

🗣️ CTA: “Seen a jump in your Shorts numbers? Post your before/after!”

10. Bill Gates Says AI Will Shrink Work Week to Two Days

✨ In a new interview, Gates predicted that AI could automate so many tasks that a two-day work week might become standard within 10 years. He emphasized this as an opportunity for a better quality of life, not mass unemployment. Critics warn, however, that unless policy catches up, AI will mostly benefit the wealthy while widening inequality.

💡 Post Idea: “Imagining a future where my week is 2 workdays + 5 snack days. Thanks, AI.”

🗣️ CTA: “Dream scenario or dystopia? Would you want a 2-day work week?”
