#613 - Trump’s Inauguration & Hwa Chong Student’s $1,690 Dior Sneakers

Donald Trump is officially back as the 47th President of the United States, and his inauguration speech felt more like a Game of Thrones coronation than a traditional ceremony.

Meanwhile, a scholarship ad by Hwa Chong International School sparked online outrage after netizens spotted the student in the ad wearing $1,690 Christian Dior sneakers. Is this an out-of-touch flex, or are we all overreacting?
