Jack White didn’t mince words in his latest post about President Donald Trump. 

On April 13, the White Stripes rocker took to social media to react to Trump’s controversial AI-generated of himself as Jesus. 

Jack White wonders how Christians can support Donald Trump

“Hey evangelical Christians?” began White’s lengthy Instagram post. “Remember that anti-Christ you been squawking about all these years and how he’d present himself as Christlike and bring about the end of days with a final war in the Middle East involving Jerusalem? Well…check out your boy now!”

Trump is a “deranged grifter,” White went on to say as he called out the president’s various controversial actions and scandals, including his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, ICE raids, threats against Greenland, and the current war in Iran.

“How can any so called Christian support him after this blasphemy? How could any Catholic support him after he attacks the character of their Pope multiple times? How did so many millions of people fall for this conman?” he wondered, referencing Trump’s rift with Pope Leo XIV.

White added that, in his opinion, Trump already head “worst president in the history of America” award “on lock.” But his latest moves have taken things to the next level, 

“I’m gonna go ahead and take the honor of pronouncing trump ‘Worst American of All Time,’ he said. 

‘The White Stripes’ rocker has repeatedly criticized Trump 

White’s dislike of Trump is nothing new. He’s shared multiple posts criticizing and mocking the former star of The Apprentice. And in 2024, he and his former bandmate Meg White sued Trump for unauthorized use of The White Stripes’ song “Seven Nation Army.” They later dropped the lawsuit. 

White wasn’t alone in his response to Trump’s Jesus image. Even many people on the religious right reacted negatively to the post, noted The Wall Street Journal. The president – who eventually deleted the post depicting himself wearing a white robe and healing a man with his touch – defended himself by saying the image was supposed to show him “as a doctor making people better.” 

Trump hasn’t responded to White’s latest criticism. But last year, after White slammed Trump’s over-the-top redecoration of the Oval Office, White House communications director Steven Cheung questioned his qualifications as a artist because “he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendor and significance of the Oval Office inside of ‘The People’s House.’”

Cheung also referred to White as a“a washed up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media because he clearly has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career.”
