Jack White has spent the past several months on tour while also relentlessly criticizing the second Trump administration. His latest attack targets Trump’s White House decor transformation, which White likens to a “professional wrestler’s dressing room.” See his full statement and post below.
"Look at how disgusting trump has transformed the historic White House. It's now a vulgar, gold leafed and gaudy, professional wrestler's dressing room. Can't wait for the UFC match on the front lawn too, he's almost fully achieved the movie "Idiocracy". Look at his disgusting taste, would you even buy a used car from this conman, let alone give him the nuclear codes? A gold plated trump bible would look perfect up on that mantle with a pair of trump shoes on either side wouldn't it? What an embarrassment to American history. Also pictured in this photograph, a REAL leader of a nation in a black suit."
White House Communications Director Steven Cheung fired back at White in a statement to The Daily Beast, saying “Jack White is a washed up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media because he clearly has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career.” He continues, “It’s apparent he’s been masquerading as a real artist, because he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendor and significance of the Oval Office inside of ‘The People’s House.'”
This isn’t the first time — and likely won’t be the last — that the White House has struck back at celebrities or media figures who have criticized the administration. A few weeks ago, they issued a similar insult against South Park following an episode that showed Trump in bed with Satan and depicted him with a micropenis, claiming, “The show hasn’t been relevant for 20 years.”
Surely, White isn’t losing any sleep over the recent insult, as he has just wrapped his sold-out No Name tour and has several headlining festival dates coming up, which you can see below:
09/13 Louisville, KY @ Bourbon & Beyond
09/20 Chicago, IL @ Riot Fest
09/27 Brooklyn, NY @ CBGB Festival
