2024-08-31 01:50:02

Detroit native and The White Stripes lead singer and guitarist Jack White took to Instagram Thursday to express his anger after one of the band’s songs was used in a pro-Trump video without his permission.

The video, which was posted to X by Trump’s Deputy Director of Communications, Margo Martin, depicts Trump walking up stairs to board a plane while a clip of “Seven Nation Army” plays, along with the caption: “President @realDonaldTrump departs for Michigan and Washington!”

White responded by posting a screen recording of the X post with the caption: “‘Oh….Don’t even think about using my music you fascists. Law suit coming from my lawyers about this (to add to your 5 thousand others.) Have a great day at work today Margo Martin. And as long as I’m here, a double f**k you DonOLD for insulting our nation’s veterans at Arlington you scum. You should lose every military family’s vote immediately from that if ANYTHING makes sense anymore.’ -Jack White”

White’s caption references an incident that occurred during Trump’s visit to Arlington National Cemetary earlier this week, when two members of his campaign staff allegedly got into a verbal and physical altercation when a cemetery official tried to stop the staffers from photographing and filming in a prohibited area where recent U.S. casualties were buried.
