Jack White recently slammed President Donald Trump's White House redesign as "vulgar" and "gaudy."
"Look at how disgusting trump has transformed the historic White House," White said on Instagram, accompanied by a photo of Trump meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office. "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".
The former White Stripes lead singer added, "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."
A known critic of Trump, White had previously criticized the President and his administration, once calling him a "f**king nazi clown."
White House communications director Steven Cheung responded by calling White a "washed up, has-been loser" in comments to The Daily Beast.
"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,'" Cheung added.
Continuing the war of words in a lengthy statement on Instagram, White called Trump a "danger to not just America but the entire world."
