White Destroys the White House: A New Squabble with the Administration

Jack White, a legendary musician and vinyl collector, has made a real mess of the White House, especially its communications director. It all began with White’s criticism of the “vulgar” decor of the Oval Office, turned under Trump into a golden bathroom. The White House, not wanting to give in, responded by calling White “a loser” and “maximizing for a real artist.” White seemed to be waiting for this provocation, and his sharp skirmish with the US president, full of daring attacks on his business, political mistakes, racism, sexism and friendship with dictators, was a real triumph. White expressed his admiration that the White House was “masquerading as a human being” and described himself as “insulted by this crook’s guidance.” “To be offended by this crooked, self-made White House is a badge of honor for me,” he said. Despite his criticism, White remains one of the most successful musicians of modern times, with a rich discography and the prospect of The White Stripes being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In protest, he even dedicated the song to "all the rats" sitting at his stupid desk.
