Rock star Jack White lashed out at failed one-term, twice-impeached, and multiply-indicted former president Donald Trump for using one of his most famous songs, and made it clear he’s planning legal action against the ex-president and his 2024 campaign.
According to HuffPost, White shared a video posted online by Margo Martin, an official for the Trump campaign which included the song “Seven Nation Army,” recorded by White’s former band, The White Stripes, in 2003.

“>posted a blunt rebuke of Martin and Trump, which led to the video being taken down, but not before the damage had been done in White’s mind.
“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.”
White added a message specifically for Trump:
“And as long as I’m here, a double fuck 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.”
The mention of Arlington is a reference to the latest controversy surrounding Trump and his 2024 campaign, as reported by the Washington Post.
“The Trump campaign posted a video Wednesday that was recorded at Arlington National Cemetery, two days after an alleged altercation in which defense officials said a cemetery staff member sought to enforce guidelines the campaign had received not to take photos and videos near the graves of U.S. service members killed in recent years.”
White has also been critical of celebrities who support Trump, writing in 2023:
“Anybody who ‘normalizes’ or treats this disgusting fascist, racist, con man, disgusting piece of shit Trump with any level of respect is ALSO disgusting in my book. That’s you Joe Rogan, you Mel Gibson, you Mark Wahlberg, you Guy Fieri.”
