Cheung’s comments came via The Daily Beast<\/a>, where he added, “It’s apparent (White has) been 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\u2019s House.'”<\/p>\n It’s not the first time White has teed off on Trump, but it’s the first time the Trump White House has responded.<\/p>\n White previously slammed<\/a> Trump for using the White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army” in a campaign video, commenting, “Don’t even think about using my music you fascists.” White sued over the song’s use, although the lawsuit was later dropped<\/a>.<\/p>\n More: Jack White responds to insults, says Trump ‘masquerading as a human being’ in lengthy post<\/a><\/p>\n In 2022, White\u00a0pulled his record label<\/a>, Third Man Records, off of X after the social media platform’s owner, Elon Musk, allowed Trump to return to the social media platform. In 2016, Third Man\u00a0sold T-shirts with the phrase, “Icky Trump,”<\/a>\u00a0a reference to the White Stripes’ 2007 album, “Icky Thump.”<\/p>\n Trump’s ally Kid Rock has also been at the center of recent political drama, as the “Bawitdaba” singer has been going back and forth with California governor Gavin Newsom on social media.<\/p>\n Newsom, who has recently taken to posting on X in the style of Trump, recently posted a mock poster of Kid Rock, dressed as Uncle Sam, along with the words, “Kid Rock wants you to support Gavin Newsom.” Co-signing the image, Newsom wrote the words “I accept!” above the post.<\/p>\n Rock fired back on Tuesday on X<\/a>, writing, “The only support Gavin Newscum will ever get out of me is from DEEZ NUTZ.”<\/p>\n Newsom then responded, “I HATE KID ROCK !!!<\/a>,” in the style of Trump’s Sept. 2024 Truth Social pronouncement, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” Newsom then doubled down on the Rock\/ Swift conflation, writing<\/a>, “HAS ANYONE NOTICED THAT SINCE I SAID ‘I HATE KID ROCK’ HE’S NO LONGER ‘HOT?'” the same way Trump declared Swift “no longer hot” after his declaration of hatred toward her in a May 2025 Truth Social post.<\/p>\n There’s no word yet from Rock over the latest posts from Newsom.<\/p>\n As part of the White Stripes, White is due to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame during a ceremony in Los Angeles in November.<\/p>\n agraham@detroitnews.com<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tdn-65x65.png\")
