Jack White Vows Not To 'Be Like One Of The Silent Minority' As He Calls Donald Trump 'Danger' To The World

Jack White is not backing down from calling out Donald Trump and has taken the biggest swipe at the president and his reputation. 

The former White Stripes frontman has been a longtime Trump critic. However, it seems White hit a nerve when he condemned the Oval Office’s new decor. 

The White House communications director, Steven Cheung, released a statement calling White a “washed-up” artist who has too much time because of his failed career. 

However, Cheung's comments sparked a retaliation from the “Lazaretto” artist, who declared nothing would stop him from voicing his opinion on Trump’s regime. 

On Wednesday, the 50-year-old songwriter replied to the spokesperson's comments with a lengthy rebuke of the U.S. president.

The “Icky Thump” singer took to Instagram, sharing a ten-slide post featuring his disapproval of the Trump administration alongside snapshots of the president. 

In the post’s caption, the “My Doorbell” singer noted that although he may not know all the facts, he would not be silent about Trump’s regime. 

White stated, “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 daily, and we. all. Know. It. -JW III…”

White began his scathing criticism, expressing disbelief that Cheung’s statement was not prompted by the times he previously rebuked Trump.

The record label owner went on to highlight all instances he called out Trump, stating his “Gestapo ICE tactics, and his racist remarks about Latinos, Native Americans.”

Adding to the growing list, White mentioned Trump’s involvement in the Epstein files and his turning a blind eye to dying children in Sudan, Gaza, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

White further wrote about Trump’s alliance with dictators, his Nazi rallies, and his attempt to sell Goya beans with his position, adding a photo of the Republican advertising the product. 

The famed guitarist referenced Cheung's remarks, in which he was slammed as "masquerading as a real artist." Turning the insult around, he accused the 79-year-old politician of “masquerading as a Christian, as a leader, as a person with actual empathy.”

White then accused Trump of exploiting people. The musician extended his criticism to Cheung and Karoline Leavitt, claiming they covered up the president's “Fascism as Patriotism.”

White added, “The only way you can support this conman is because you are a victim of the 2 party system and you ‘defend your guy no matter what he does.’”

As for Cheung’s insults, White declared it was a “badge of honor” and ended his speech praising himself for his accomplishments, per Rolling Stone.

The “Blue Orchid” hitmaker’s blunt remarks to the president come three days after he attacked the new appearance of the Oval Office. 

White uploaded a picture of Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, sitting in the office, which is decked with several gold furnishings. 

“Look at how disgusting Trump has transformed the historic White House,” White blasted in the Instagram update. “It's now a vulgar, gold leafed and gaudy, professional wrestler's dressing room.” 

White’s heated social media outburst confronting Trump comes a year after he withdrew his lawsuit against the businessman over the unauthorized use of his song, “Seven Nation Army.”

Per USA Today, The White Stripes filed a lawsuit against the real-estate mogul for "flagrant misappropriation of the musical composition and sound recording.”

Trump’s campaign deputy director, Margo Martin, allegedly shared a video of him boarding a plane set to the iconic 2003 tune. 

White doesn't exempt Trump supporters, especially those in Hollywood, from his wrath.

In 2023, The Blast reported that White slammed Joe Rohan, Mel Gibson, and Mark Wahlberg for interacting with the 47th U.S. President at UFC 290. 

White posted a picture from the event and voiced his sentiments in the accompanying write-up. "Anybody who 'normalizes' or treats this disgusting fascist, racist, con man, disgusting piece of sh*t Trump with any level of respect is ALSO disgusting in my book.”
