Donald Trump has had some high-profile meetings with European leaders this week, but don’t be fooled: Jack White is his administration’s current focus. After the White Stripes founder made a lengthy Instagram post yesterday slamming the “vulgar, gold leafed and gaudy” decor in the Oval Office, the White House Communications Director Steven Cheung issued a statement calling White “a washed up, has-been loser” who has “been masquerading as a real artist.” That’s rich coming from the guy whose team, lest we forget, used “Seven Nation Army” in a campaign video last year. White’s Instagram post in question didn’t even detail any of the horrendous things Trump has done while in office, but now that the White House is listening, White has a few more things to criticize that aren’t plated in gold.
