The 12-time Grammy-winning rocker Jack White won’t be giving any awards to President Donald Trump for good taste.
The White Stripes great eviscerated Trump’s style in a photo of the commander-in-chief’s meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House on Monday.
The two discussed a possible end to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine while surrounded by gold-framed paintings, along with other gold decorating flourishes.
“Look at how disgusting trump has transformed the historic White House.,” White wrote on Instagram. “It’s now a vulgar, gold leafed and gaudy, professional wrestler’s dressing room.”
“Look at his disgusting taste, would you even buy a used car from this conman, let alone give him the nuclear codes?” he continued. “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.
In a respectful nod to Zelenskyy, White concluded, “Also pictured in this photograph, a REAL leader of a nation in a black suit.”
The president also got called out by some critics on Monday over a new painting, hanging in the West Wing, that portrays him walking in a heroic manner amid a row of American flags.
White, who will be inducted alongside White Stripes bandmate Meg White into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in November, has been a rock in opposing the two-time president.
He’s called him an “obvious fascist,” “wannabe dictator” and “scum.”
He’s confronted him legally as well, suing the president in September after Trump used “Seven Nation Army” in a video.
