Rocker Jack White blasts Trump’s ‘vulgar’ Oval Office transformation after Zelenskyy meeting
Jack White and Meg White sued Trump in September 2024 for unauthorized use of 'Seven Nation Army' after criticizing the White House's extensive gold-themed renovation.
- In September 2024, Jack White and Meg White, both members of The White Stripes, initiated legal action against Donald Trump for unauthorized use of their track "Seven Nation Army" in a campaign video posted on X.
- White escalated his criticism by condemning Trump's recent Oval Office makeover as vulgar and gaudy, which prompted a rare response from Trump’s communications director Steven Cheung calling White a washed-up has-been.
- White described Trump as a conman, fascist, and danger to the world, criticized his spending on golf over public help, and praised Ukrainian leader Zelenskyy as 'a real leader of a nation'.
- White criticized the White House makeover as an ostentatious and tacky space resembling the flashy, over-the-top style of a professional wrestler’s locker room, featuring gold cherubs, vases, and a prominent "Trump" emblem above the entrance.
- White predicted Trump supporters will eventually disassociate themselves, warning fascists not to use his music, and emphasizing he will not remain silent like minorities under 1930s Germany.
