Jack White shared his disappointment about Donald Trump’s win in the recent presidential elections in a new Instagram post.
“Trump won the popular vote. End of story. Americans chose a known, obvious fascist and now America will get whatever this wannabe dictator wants to enact from here on in,” he wrote in the caption of his recent post. “We all know what he is capable of: Project 2025, deportations, nationwide abortion ban, ending his own 2 term limit, backing Putin and his war, shutting down the Board of Education, adding to climate change, limiting LGBTQ rights, controlling the DOJ, keeping the minimum wage down, etc. etc. etc. Any or all of it.”
He continued by pointing out what a second Trump term would bring, mentioning Project 2025, a nationwide abortion ban, mass deportations, and more. “It’s absolutely dumbfounding that this con man succeeded in pulling the wool over so many Americans eyes not once, but twice. The racist, impeached, convicted felon and convicted rapist who stole national secrets and hid them in his bathroom, who told us to inject bleach, who wanted to fix hurricanes with nuclear weapons, who insulted handicapped people, called military veterans suckers, who incited an insurrection that invaded the nation’s capital for God sakes (!!!), the failed business man who’s ventures have all gone bankrupt, a fake Christian selling bibles and sneakers like a carnival side show, etc etc etc.”
“Christians? He’s not one of you and can’t cite one verse of Jesus’ teachings, Immigrants? He wants you out. Veterans? He’s a draft dodger. Minorities? He doesn’t care about you at ALL. Union members? He’s a scab. Working class Americans? He doesn’t give a damn how much you’re struggling. Women? You know exactly what he thinks of you. Dying on the stretcher from a miscarriage of your rapist’s pregnancy? Oh well, too bad,” he continued.
The rocker finished his statement by saying that Americans deserve whatever evil is headed their way. “And all those rich pricks riding in their Cybertrucks listening to their Rogan and Bannon and Alex Jones podcasts are laughing all the way to the bank looking forward to their tax cuts that don’t apply to the middle class. And not just with the electoral college this time, but the American people with the popular vote showed that the citizens placed him in power and now deserve whatever evils he’s going to enact.”
White has a long history of criticizing Trump. Both he and Meg White spoke out against Trump’s ‘illegal’ use of their 2003 song ‘Seven Nation Army’ during his 2016 campaign, saying they were ‘disgusted by this association.’
Trump decided to use The White Stripes’ song again for his campaign earlier this year. This caused White to take legal action and resulted in a lawsuit, accusing Trump and his campaign of ‘flagrant misappropriation’ of one of the ‘most well-known and influential musical works of all time.’ The Trump campaign still hasn’t commented on the matter.
White also slammed the celebrities who support Trump and his actions. He called out all the mentioned parties for ‘normalizing’ Trump and said whoever supported him was disgusting in his books.
