In March, pictures of a newly revamped Oval Workplace and different inside areas inside the White Home have been unveiled, now decked out in a slew gold ornaments, image frames and extra.

It’s the newest occasion of Jack White taking purpose at Trump and his administration. Earlier this June, White commented on the feud between Trump and his former ally and Tesla founder Elon Musk. Musk and Trump’s relationship had soured, and the extremely controversial Kanye West had weighed in, hoping to get the 2 again on the identical web page.
In response, White wrote: “3 fucking nazi clowns collapsing below the burden of their very own unchecked egos. Extra popcorn gruppenfuehrer! L to R: Joseph Noballs, Yedolf Hitler, and Herman Boring. Is America “Nice” but boys?”
Then in March, White swapped out the lyrics of his 2018 hit ‘Company’ to hit out at Trump and Musk: “I’m eager about not being elected. By no means holding a public workplace. By no means serving sooner or later of navy service, However someway having the authority to regulate components of the US Authorities; Who’s with me?”
Again in November, the White Stripes frontman reacted to Donald Trump’s second electoral win, launching a blistering put up on social media: “People selected a identified, apparent fascist and now America will get no matter this wannabe dictator needs to enact from right here on in… It’s completely dumbfounding that this con man succeeded in pulling the wool over so many People eyes not as soon as, however twice.”
In August 2024, he warned the Trump presidential marketing campaign to not use his music after a clip of The White Stripes’ music appeared in a video. The White Stripes’ hit ‘Seven Nation Military’ was used within the clip of Trump travelling on the marketing campaign path, and White then warned: “Oh….Don’t even consider using my music you fascists” earlier than saying he could be submitting a lawsuit for its inappropriate use.”
The lawsuit was filed in September, with Meg and Jack White listed as co-plaintiffs. In keeping with the lawsuit, which was filed in federal courtroom in Manhattan, the band “vehemently oppose the insurance policies adopted and actions taken by Defendant Trump when he was President and people he has proposed for the second time period he seeks” (per Pitchfork).
Throughout his shock set at London’s Meeting Corridor that very same month, he appeared to reference the dispute once more, telling the gang: “As quickly as you be a part of a political social gathering, somebody tries to deceive your face… I obtained information for you: you bought a mind, you bought a thoughts. Can I hear an amen, London!”
