Rocker Jack White joined the refrain of music icons preventing Donald Trump’s use of their songs on Thursday and stated he was going to sue the previous president.
White shared a video posted by marketing campaign official Margo Martin that confirmed Trump and used “Seven Nation Army” from White’s former band The White Stripes.
“Oh….Don’t even consider using my music you fascists,” White wrote on Instagram. “Legislation swimsuit coming from my attorneys about this (so as to add to your 5 thousand others.) Have an ideal day at work immediately Margo Martin.”
Martin deleted the video.
Then, White supplied a direct message to the previous president.
“And so long as I’m right here, a double fuck you DonOLD for insulting our nation’s veterans at Arlington you scum,” he wrote. “It’s best to lose each army household’s vote instantly from that if ANYTHING is smart anymore.”
He was referring to an altercation at Arlington Nationwide Cemetery throughout a wreath-laying ceremony this week. NPR reported that Trump marketing campaign employees members “verbally abused and pushed” a cemetery official. The U.S. Military confirmed the incident, saying a marketing campaign employees member “abruptly pushed apart” a cemetery official making an attempt to implement guidelines towards filming for political functions.
White hasn’t been shy about his dislike of the previous president and final yr put celebs who help Trump on blast by title.
“Anyone who ‘normalizes’ or treats this disgusting fascist, racist, con man, disgusting piece of shit Trump with any degree of respect is ALSO disgusting in my e-book,” White wrote. “That’s you Joe Rogan, you Mel Gibson, you Mark Wahlberg, you Man Fieri.”
His Third Man Information store has been promoting shirts, pins and bumper stickers that say “Icky Trump,” a play on “Icky Thump,” the title of a White Stripes song and the title of the band’s closing studio album.
White is the most recent artist ticked at Trump over music use. In simply the previous few weeks, ABBA, Foo Fighters, Celine Dion and Beyonce have all hit again at Trump after he used their music.
The Rolling Stones, Rihanna, Neil Younger, Weapons N’ Roses and the estates of Tom Petty and Isaac Hayes, amongst others, have all slammed Trump ― and in some circumstances filed authorized motion ― over his marketing campaign’s use of their music.
