This latest feud between the rock star and the White House started when White, 50, took to Instagram this week to criticize the recent Oval Office renovation as "vulgar, gold leafed and gaudy," comparing it to a "professional wrestler's dressing room." In response, on Aug. 20, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung slammed White as a "washed-up, has-been loser" who's "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,'" in a statement to The Daily Beast.

How petty and pathetic and thin skinned could this administration get? 'Masquerading as a real artist'? Thank you for giving me my tombstone engraving! Well here’s my opinion, trump is masquerading as a human being."

Jack White Has Spoken About Trump in the Past
This is far from the first time White has spoken out against Trump. As The Tennessean reported, after the first time his campaign used "Seven Nation Army" in 2016, White and his label, Third Man Records, came out with “Icky Trump" merch (a twist on the title of the White Stripes 2007 album and song "Icky Thump") including shirts printed with the lyrics to "Icky Thump" which read:
