Jack White reflects on ‘wannabe dictator’ Donald Trump’s election victory

Jack White is not hiding his feelings about the results of the recent US election.

The prolific musician, who filed a copyright lawsuit against President-elect Donald Trump in September along with his White Stripes bandmate Meg White, took to social media on Wednesday (November 6) His thoughts on Trump’s defeat of Kamala Harris in the polls were shared in the media.

“Trump won the popular vote. End of story,” White wrote in his post. “The American people have chosen a known and obvious fascist, and now the United States will get whatever this wannabe dictator wants to achieve from now on.”

White’s post was paired with a text image of a Turkish proverb to highlight his apparent suspicion of Americans voting against their own interests. He continued, pointing to the realities facing Trump in his second term, specifically mentioning the implementation of Plan 2025, nationwide abortion bans, mass deportations, and more.

He added: “It’s absolutely jaw-dropping that this con man managed to pull the wool over the eyes of so many Americans not just twice.”

“Racists, impeached people, convicted felons and convicted rapists, they steal state secrets and hide them in bathrooms, they tell us to inject bleach, they want to nuke hurricanes, they insult Disabled people, calling veterans fools who fomented a rebellion that invaded the nation’s capital for God’s sake (!!!), a failed businessman who bankrupted all his businesses, a fake Christian who acts like a carnival sideshow Sells Bibles and sneakers, etc.,” White wrote.

White concluded the article by noting how Trump has actively fought against some of his biggest supporters, including Christians, immigrants, veterans, minorities, women and working-class Americans.

“All those rich people in their Cybertrucks listening to the Rogan, Bannon and Alex Jones podcast are laughing all the way to the bank, anticipating tax cuts that don’t apply to the middle class,” he concluded. “This time it’s not just “The Electoral College, the popular vote of the American people shows that the citizens put him in power and deserved whatever evil he was about to commit now.”

White’s disdain for Trump is well-documented, with both he and Meg White criticizing Trump’s “illegal” use of their 2003 single “Seven Nation Army” in the 2016 campaign, noting that they were “disrespectful of I feel disgusted by this connection.”

White threatened to sue after Trump again decided to use White Stripes music at a campaign event earlier this year, leading Trump to file a lawsuit in September. The lawsuit specifically accuses Trump and his campaign of “blatant misappropriation” of one of the “most famous and influential musical works of all time.”
