Jack White has clapped back at Donald Trump, calling it a "badge of honour" to be insulted by a White House spokesperson. The musician also expressed incredulity that what prompted one of Trump's toadies to publicly respond to him was a comment he made about the president's outlandish Oval Office decor. White shared the lengthy post to Instagram on Wednesday this week, a day after trading words with White House Communications Director Steven Cheung. That back-and-forth began after White posted a photo of Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office, comparing it to "a vulgar, gold-leafed and gaudy, professional wrestler's dressing room". That prompted Cheung to fire off a statement calling White a "washed-up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media because he clearly has ample times on his hands due to his stalled career. It's apparent he's been masquerading as a real artist, because he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendour and significance of the Oval Office inside of 'The People's House.'" White hasn't shied from criticising Trump or his admin in the past and even tried to sue the president for copyright infringement over his use of the White Stripes' Seven Nation Army at a campaign rally last year. He eventually dropped the suit.
