Jack White has unleashed another salvo at President Donald Trump, calling it a “badge of honor” to be insulted by a White House spokesperson.
The musician also expressed incredulity that what prompted one of Trump’s toadies to publicly respond to him was a comment White made about — of all things — the president’s outlandish Oval Office decor.
White shared the lengthy post on Instagram Wednesday, Aug. 20, a day after trading words with White House Communications Director Steven Cheung.
It’s apparent he’s 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.
'”White has never shied from criticizing Trump or his admin in the past and even tried to sue the president for copyright infringement over his use of the White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army” at a campaign rally last year.
