Jack White, Kid Rock at center of social media political storms [View all]
Jack White is in a war of words with the Trump Administration, and he's not the only Michigan rocker currently embroiled in a political feud at the highest levels of government.
After Jack White lashed out on social media against President Trump's renovations of the Oval Office — in an Instagram post on Monday, White called Trump's makeover of the White House space "a vulgar, gold leafed and gaudy, professional wrestler's dressing room" and "an embarrassment to American history" — the White House hit back, with White House Communications Director Steven Cheung calling the White Stripes frontman "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."
Cheung's comments came via The Daily Beast, where he added, "It's apparent (White has) been masquerading as a real artist, because he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendor and significance of the Oval Office inside of 'The People’s House.'"
It's not the first time White has teed off on Trump, but it's the first time the Trump White House has responded.
White previously slammed Trump for using the White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" in a campaign video, commenting, "Don't even think about using my music you fascists." White sued over the song's use, although the lawsuit was later dropped.
