Jack White: Trump is a danger "not just to America, but to the entire world."

Jack White Fires Back After Trump’s ‘Pathetic’ White House Calls Him a ‘Washed-Up, Has-Been Loser’: Trump Is a ‘Danger to the Entire World’

Variety, August 20, 2025

Jack White has blasted President Donald Trump on social media, calling him a danger “not just to America but the entire world and that’s not an exaggeration.”

Earlier this week, White had posted a photo of the Oval Office on Instagram, calling it “disgusting” after Trump transformed it into a “vulgar, gold leafed and gaudy, professional wrestler’s dressing room.” White House communications director Steven Cheung responded in a statement to the Daily Beast, calling him a “washed-up, has-been loser” who has been “masquerading as a real artist.”

Snip…

He called Cheung and press secretary Karoline Leavitt “professional liar toadies,” and unloaded a scathing attack on Trump and his supporters.

“That orange grifter has spent more tax payer money cheating at golf than helping ANYONE in the country,” he stated. “Improve. Anything. There is no progress with him, only smoke and mirrors and tax breaks for the ultra wealthy. So maga folk, enjoy your concrete paving over of the rose garden, your 200 million dollar ballroom in the White House, and your gaudy ass gold spray painted trinkets from Home Depot, cause he ain’t spending any money on helping YOU unless you fit into his white supremascist country club rich idiot agenda. Wow, he hates who you hate….good for you, be proud of yourselves, how christian of you all.”

The Story Behind: "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes

by Blazek
Steemit, 2018?

Seven Nation Army is a song by the American blues-rock duo The White Stripes. The song was the lead single from the iconic fourth album Elephant, which was released in 2003. The song got the number one spot on the Modern Rock Tracks list for three consecutive weeks and was the third best selling rock song of the decade. Later it also won the Grammy Award for the Best Rock Song.

The song's title came from Jack White's childhood, when he though that the Salvation Army (Protestant Christian movement and an international charitable organization) he visited was actually called Seven Nation Army.

The lyrics in the song itself talk about how the duo deals with increasing popularity and the negative things that come with being in popular rock band. It tells a storyline of a protagonist that comes into his town where all of his aquaintances are talking behind his back and gossiping about him. White stated: "He feels so bad he has to leave town, but you get so lonely you come back. The song's about gossip. It's about me, Meg and the people we're dating."

Snip…

White later decided to make the riff into a bass line, using an effect pedal that sets all the notes to be played one octave lower than a guitar (the same as a bass guitar), with his semi acoustic Kay Hollowbody guitar from the 1950's. Jack also stated that he wanted to write this song without having a chorus but only a bridge, solo and verses. The song was recorded, mixed and mastered at Toe Rag Studios in London without the help of computers, which is traditional for White, because he claims that technology destroys his creative and working process.

Profound Detroiters would fill seven armies.
