Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats.
Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.
Awesome statement/reply by Jack White. Well-stated. Respect.
Perfection!
Thank you, Jack White, for having the courage to speak the truth, as all our institutions fall to the new regime like the flimsy house of cards they always were.
This is one of the best summaries of Trump and his administration I have seen. Excellent.
More testicular fortitude than any Congressional Democrat.
❤️
Thank you Jack White! Brilliantly said. Now I’m downloading your great music.
This post might be his greatest work of art.
Schplinder of the Oval Office
Perfect response. His description of tRump is spot on!
As an European this is exactly what so many here feel! I am so glad that White expressed what is so obvious and no main stream media dares to publish
What Jack said
Trump's White House decor is pretty gaudy, though. The kinda shit only rich boomers would find even remotely interesting.
I love it. I agree 1000% with Jack White
Love this, but hate that it’s seen as sticking his neck out. If more people did this, there would be less risk. The admin of morons can’t investigate everybody’s mortgage.
This is fire. Jack White is frickin awesome. Big fan of his music. Bigger fan of these words.
If Trump could read he sure would be pissed off right now
I gotta admit reading Jack White's response gave me a whole new level of respect for him.
😂 Dumpty considers Kid Rock to be cool, but Jack White as "washed up"? 😂😂😂
Have ya noticed that Trump only has one insult for everybody?
What a great summation of the Trump entity by Jack White.
I did always think that Trump’s media person “Oddjob” clone Stephen Cheung was the real author of stuff on his social media whose job it is to echo the protoplasm in Trump’s head masquerading as a brain.
Hard to add anything to that!
You push back, he backs down. We've seen it repeatedly yet mayors and governors responsible for our safety, university leadership, businesses, law firms, see successful resistance yet they just cave. There is no reason unless they are really on board or are abject cowards.
The ultimate takedown.
Jack White has sense. I wish the American people all did.
Well, damn!🫡
See Jack write.
Write Jack write.
Jack White has just " DROPPED THE MIC " on Trump. He said into words what most of America is feeling right now about our President who shouldn't be in the Oval Office.
🔥
📌
Damn 😎 gotta go listen to "Jolene" again, bbl
That was symphonic.
OK, Jack, but what do you really thing?
LOL - what a brutal takedown. That guy grows on my every time he says something. Smart guy, and apparently a good human being.
Couldn't love Jack White more. Thanks for posting this.
Beautiful!
Bravo to Jack White.
I don't know why the DNC doesn't make this their official statement.
I'm listening to me some Jack White right now - Archbishop Harold Holmes.
Far from washed up; it f'n rocks!
Best Trump takedown of all time.
The only thing I would change for trump’s funeral is white’s describing trump in the present! This is the best way to eulogize trump when the time comes! 🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌👍
The Trump administration frequently uses popular music in its propaganda videos, including by artists who oppose Trump.
I think that about covers it!
This energy
📌
I sense a new meme trend every time Trump attacks a celebrity on Social Media.
Jennifer Welch is professional interior designer who has been criticizing Trump's tastes for years. She points out where he has no real idea what he's doing.
Very nicely done
There’s a lot of reasons why we love Jack in Detroit. This will just add to that long list. He’s a good guy & a great artist.
📌
I have no clue who Jack White III is but FUCK, I love his take on the 🍊💩.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️
As if I couldn't, somehow, love Jack White even more🥰
Serious RESPECT for Jack White, a legitimate artist and human being. Mad respect!
Bravo Jack White 👏👏 My only concern is that Trump could never read a letter this long. It's too much for a fifth grader. Sorry, fifth graders, that I am comparing you to him.
What he said.
Jack White is a good man and every damn word of this is dead nuts on.
📌
I have never liked his music but good for him!
Jack White is hardly a has been.
This is what we need. More balls than the entire Republican party, or, should I say, the Group Of Pedophiles.
I'm a huge Jack White fan, and this has all come as great relief to me because honestly he was pretty high on my list of celebrities likely to do a villain turn in this era.
Epic. Trump thinks he's going to shut Jack White up? A seven nation army couldn't hold him back!
I've heard he kinda sucks as a person, but cool
And another reason to love Jack White!!!
Goddamn!
What real president has time to send out all those fucking tweets. He is indeed masquerading.
❤️He's a real one
Three thoughts:
I betcha the 'golf cheat' references get to Trump more than anything else in there.
I had no idea Jack was a 'III'
Awesome
Rapistrump assumes All White people Ought to be on his side! I recall when the Fox Folks got upset when they realized Greenday wasn't on Their side...
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
On the other hand nobody is better qualified to discuss aesthetics than Steven Cheung
Unlike kid rock the best most talented and popular artist
Well then! Engrave this in the halls of…every damn hall that exists. Do you have a hallway? Put it there too.
Detroit stands up...
Trump spends more time on redecorating and golf than he does being president.
Ouch!
LOVE THIS, JACK WHITE!
KEEP UP THE “MASQUERADE” … YOU’RE LOOKIN’ GOOD!
We found our Joe Rogan on the Left!
What? Not a Dem?!
Well then... he forgot Trump University.🤨
Political Poetry
Sing it.
Very proud to say I listen to Jack White’s music and poetry. I’ll take him over Kid Rock any day of the week.
If I had any idea how to purchase music, today, I’d go buy some White Stripes
The timing of the WH critique is bad considering he just released one of the best albums of his career and AOTY contender
Gosh. I think he actually says all that needs to be said. The gaudy bad taste in Trump's office is pretty pathetic, btw. Particularly the orange muppet in the middle of it all. They should get rid of that, pronto.
I don't like Jack's music, but damn I respect him immensely for taking a stand.
Oof, that was extremely well said.
This should be an op ed in the NYT
Brilliant. Now everyone- talk like that.
Wonderful. On X I presume. What if we did the same to him on (un)truthsocial?
The oval office decor is obscene and gawky. So ugly
Damn!
Jack White nailed it.
What's Jack White's upholstery like?
Wow! He put it all in one statement! Perfection.
The decor is, “Gaudy.” All the gold. It’s ugly ass.
In such an extensive list of evils, there's no mention of this admin's attacks and misinfo, a genocide really... on trans folk, or even mentioning lgbt folk in general.
Blindness? Not paying attention? Not caring? Privilege? Antagonism? Bigotry?
Hey Jack, what's up with that?
LOVE this!! He hit every point!
⚡️🔥
What? Jack White didn't appreciate the White House's new tacky gilded Ho House decor? So surprised?
A perfect response to #Trump
Holy sh*t what a takedown of that wimpy trump.
Truth.
What Jack said.
Damn, Jack.
Well said
Very well written and truly felt! “Trump is masquerading as a human being”… indeed!
He didn’t leave anything out. Bravo 👏🏼
Cheung should lobby Trump to sign an Executive Order banning 7 Nation Army being played at sporting events in retaliation
This is one of the best take downs ever written!!! Kudos to Jack White from another Artist lol!!!
This is epic 📌
Good for him. The best way to deal with narcissists is just this.
“I see what a thin skinned pathetic excuse of a person you are. You are only fooling those who voluntarily choose not to see it.”
Bravo, sir.
I know, I know each day brings a new embarrassment but this one’s pettiness stopped me in my tracks. With everything going on in the world today, our president’s office spends their time doing this?!?! It’s beyond insanity. 🤡s running the country.
Oh no. A blistering takedown. Whatever will Trump do?
I’ve always loved Jack White and now I just love him more.🥰
THIS is the TRUTH about Trump.
Right On Jack.
Bravo!
Perfection.
Jack White is incredible. What a brilliant, brilliant takedown. Anybody know if he’s on BlueSky?
Just read @officialjackwhite takedown of the grifter aloud to my guy. ❤️
Bravo. Excellent dressing down down by Jack White.
I have started a collection of “I couldn’t say it better myself”, this response goes into my collection.
Brilliant post from White.
That is a fantastic response from Jack White
I suspect that the FBI is probably mobilising as we speak, looking for old parking violations or misspellings on old tax returns.
That was as cathartic to read as I'm sure it was to write.
That is absolutely fucking epic. Be-all end-all takedown. Goes to 11, A++, no notes.
Jack rules, and one of the very best live acts right now
So we're all playing "Seven Nation Army" at our next protests, right?
He is so washed up that even though there are thousands and thousands of American artists.
They still picked his song to play at Trump's rallies.
Even though he loath them with the power of a thousand suns 😂😂😂
And this is why the White Stripes remain one of my top bands of all time. Jack and Meg were my highschool years and Jack continues to BE that guy every time I see him.
So yeah, "You got a reaction didn't you?" Hell yeah, Jack. Hell yeah, you did.
Nicely done
That's fantastic stuff. Well done, Mister White. That's the kind of truth-telling we should be hearing from everyone with any platform every fucking day of this nightmare.
Put it in the Louvre
Awesome human, this is my kind of White Power, Jack White.
My new hero. Not that I needed another reason to adore Jack White. But here we go.
Pretty f’n good, JW!
I’m still mouth agape at the description of the White House changes as “splendor”. Ha-and I mean this-HA
Nice one Jack! Keep up the good work!
Well played sir. We definitely need more famous people speaking real like this.
quite literally why can't they all just talk like this?
clean up a few curse words and have every politician saying this into every camera starting tomorrow
Not a fan of his music, but i am a fan of his humanity.
I really appreciate that post. Thanks, Jack White!
This is mighty
Now that is something I would like to see added to the Smithsonian collection.
In reality he cares only about two things: decor and musical theater.
Splendor!!??
More like this, please!!!
This is Steven Cheung, the one throwing nasty retorts on Trump’s behalf. That’s a face NOT EVEN a mother could love. 🤮
Jack White if he has more time on his hands he should continue to have at it. He clearly speaks for a lot of Americans. ✌️
Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Springsteen, Jack White, that's quite a crowd of washed up artists the HOT ONE has identified. Maybe he should quit the Presidency, at which he is TERRIBLE, and write for the NME.
Congrats, you've got a new national anthem.
“Thank you for giving me my tombstone engraving” goes so hard, respect Mr. White
I have no idea who Jack White is (sorry) but I now love him.
That is probably the most thorough takedown of another person I have ever seen. And it is glorious. I hope it messes with his brain so bad and lives rent-free there for the rest of his life.
📌
jack white got it right
I think he covered it all.
I always liked Jack White.
👍🏼 Perfect description of Trump and it’s all true ! Thank you, Jack White !
Loved Jack White when he responded to Loretta Lynn with “Yes, ma’am” and love him now for this.
Respect.
Too many words. MAGAts can't read.
Imagine if Bezos or Zuck had the balls to say this.
💯🖤
Behold an essay showing the perfect use of English and of expressing thoughts, emotions and the writer's integrity and clear-sightedness. Very good indeed.
💥 🔥
Amazing takedown. Well done, Jack White!
According to dump, Jack White is washed up, but Ted Nugent and Kid Rock are amazing.
I have no notes. I heart him.
He’s gonna fight them all. A seven nation Army couldn’t hold him back.
Verbally, at least, he does what he preaches "I'm gonna fight 'em off"
Time to buy every single Jack White record and follow him around like the Grateful Dead.
Bravo, JW3!!!
There's a song there, maybe call it Wang fuck you Cheung.
Glorious! Simply glorious!
Bravo!
Hard not read that in the Jack White voice
How embarrassing that this administration takes time to cry about their hurt widdle feelings when a celebrity criticizes the decor. Pathetic little cry babies
Trump called Jack White washed-up, but used his music during his campaign in which White sent a cease and desist.
Why do other people immediately bend for Trump? He's a moron.
I’d never even heard of Jack White before he was attacked by fascists. Now I’m a fan of his for life.
E Honda critiquing Jack White is hilarious. Cheung listens to K-Pop…and not for the music…
Love it..who is this person?
Never pick a war of words with creatives. They'll drag you up to their level and beat you with experience.
"washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." Could they get any more pathetic? (ups, shouldn't have said that, now they are going to think I'm daring them)
Didn't they mean @kidrock
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
BAM! Jack White is a wordsmith. Brilliant clarion calling out...
Let’s focus on what a blessing his death will be for humanity. He’s frail, old and human. Every day he marches towards his demise.
Well you burnt my house down then got mad at my reaction
…you can't take the effect and make it the cause
Thank you, jack
