Jack White has never been the type to sit politely in the corner, he’s aimed straight at Donald Trump again, following the former president’s bizarre anniversary press conference marking one year since returning to the White House.
Trump reportedly spent over an hour and a half droning through a stack of papers labelled ‘accomplishments’, reading them out in a monotone and slowly spiralling as per NME.
Alongside self congratulation, the speech reportedly included repetitive claims, xenophobic remarks, and familiar misinformation, including a continued insistence he won the 2020 election.
In amongst the mess, Trump referred to coal as “clean, beautiful coal”, and even claimed he’d renamed the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of Trump”, before later insisting it was a joke. Things didn’t exactly tighten up from there, at one point, he reportedly had a sudden battle with a paperclip.
“Woo!” he said. “I’m glad my finger wasn’t in that sucker. That could’ve dome some damage, but you know what? I wouldn’t have shown the pain. I would’ve gone back. Boy, did you hear that? That was nasty. But I would not have shown the pain. I would’ve acted like nothing happened as my finger fell off.”
White reacts
White then took to Instagram with a long, scorched earth parody post, mocking Trump’s tone and ego in full caveman mode.
“Me do accomplishments!” White wrote.
“Trump smart. Good boy deserve Nobel Peace Prize! Dementia? What is? NO! Trump smart, pass brain test, name giraffe. Me President of Venezuela and Canada. Me want Greenland too for fun. Mom said Trump could have been great baseball player but also big building with bars on windows. Building for very sick people. Trump not sick. Trump smart. MAGA. Very smart people made Trump President. Very smart people keep Trump President. Take nap now. Use fake, I mean real Peace Prizes for pillows. Trump accomplishment. Nighty night.”
He also made it clear the comment section wasn’t a democracy either, warning Trump supporters they’d be blocked, adding:
“Anyone who likes said comment gets blocked too. i leave a couple up so everyone knows why they were blocked. This is my house, not town square. ted nugent and kid rock i’m sure are looking for more MAGA supporters so i suggest you head over to their houses. thank you for your attention to this matter!”
