Jack White fires back at White House after they called him a “has been loser”
“Being insulted by the actual White House that this particular conman leads is a badge of honor for me,” the rocker wrote.
Jack White has responded to the White House after they called him a “has-been loser” following his criticism of President Donald Trump.
Earlier this week, the White Stripes frontman took to Instagram to speak out against Trump's redecoration of the White House's Oval Office, where he recently hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other European leaders.
"Look at how disgusting Trump has transformed the historic White House," White wrote. "It's now a vulgar, gold leafed and gaudy, professional wrestler's dressing room."
“Would you even buy a used car from this conman, let alone give him the nuclear codes?” WHe went on. “A gold plated trump bible would look perfect up on that mantle with a pair of trump shoes on either side wouldn’t it?”
He also called Trump “an embarrassment to American history”, before adding, “Also pictured in this photograph, a REAL leader of a nation in a black suit,” referring to Zelenskyy.
On Tuesday, August 19, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung fired back by calling White 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.”
In a statement to Daily Beast, Cheung added: “It’s apparent he’s been masquerading as a real artist, because he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendour and significance of the Oval Office inside of ‘The People’s House.’”
White took to Instagram yesterday to respond once again, calling Cheung a “professional liar”.
“Being insulted by the actual White House that this particular conman leads is a badge of honor for me,” the rockstar said.
“I was raised to believe that we defeated fascism in World War II and that we would never allow it again in the world,” White continued. “I don’t always state publicly my political opinions, and like anyone I don’t always know all of the facts, but when it comes to this man and this administration I’m not going to be like one of the silent minority of 1930’s Germany.
“This man is a danger to not just America but the entire world and that’s not an exaggeration, he’s dismantling democracy and endangering the planet on a daily basis, and we. all. know. it.”
He also criticed the WHite house for commenting on this topic, rather than on more pressing issues such as “his inclusion in the Epstein files”, “his gestapo ICE tactics”, and “the dying children in Sudan, Gaza and the Democratic Republic of Congo.”
“How petty and pathetic and thin-skinned could this administration get?” he wrote. “‘Masquerading as a real artist?’ … Trump is masquerading as a human being. He’s masquerading as a Christian, as a leader, as a person with actual empathy.”
