He said: “Look at how disgusting trump has transformed the historic White House. It’s now a vulgar, gold leafed and gaudy, professional wrestler’s dressing room. Can’t wait for the UFC match on the front lawn too, he’s almost fully achieved the movie ‘Idiocracy’.
“Look at his disgusting taste, would you even buy a used car from this conman, let alone give him the nuclear codes? A gold plated trump bible would look perfect up on that mantle, with a pair of trump shoes on either side wouldn’t it?
“What an embarrassment to American history. Also pictured in this photograph, a REAL leader of a nation in a black suit.”
At this point, it should come as no surprise that the White House wasn’t happy about this.
White House communications director Steven Cheung told the Daily Beast, “Jack White is 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.”
He continued, “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’.”
But the beef didn’t end there. The Grammy winner hit back with his own lengthy statement. He said: “How petty and pathetic and thin-skinned could this administration get? ‘Masquerading as a real artist’? Thank you for giving me my tombstone engraving! Well here’s my opinion, trump is masquerading as a human being.”
He said in part: “That orange grifter has spent more tax payer money cheating at golf than helping ANYONE in the country. Improve. Anything. There is no progress with him, only smoke and mirrors and tax breaks for the ultra wealthy.”
What did the White House say to a White House correspondent?
We can’t talk about unhinged responses without mentioning White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
With a fair share of responses to choose from, it was when a reporter quizzed her on the importance of a particular detail regarding Trump’s meeting with Vladimir Putin.
