Jack White responds to “wannabe dictator” Trump’s election win

Jack White has been outspoken against Donald Trump‘s use of The White Stripes‘ “Seven Nation Army” in his campaign, filing a lawsuit in September, and he’s now issued a statement about the former president winning the election, calling him a “known, obvious fascist” and “wannabe dictator,” and saying that because Trump won the popular vote this time, “the citizens placed him in power and now deserve whatever evils he’s going to enact.” It reads:

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. 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. 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 handicap 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. 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.

Jack has been playing intimate shows supporting his 2024 album No Name, most recently last week in Chicago and Cincinnati. He also has a few festival dates lined up; see those below.
