Jack White Hurls Profanity At Trump In Not-So-Subtle Song Lyric Change

LOADINGERROR LOADING

Jack White savagely cursed out President Donald Trump during a concert in Boston last month.

The musician put a very topical twist on his anti-capitalist anthem “Corporation,” singing, “I was thinking about becoming an oligarch, who’s with me?”

Appearing to take a shot at White House insider Elon Musk, White wailed on guitar as he went on and said, “I was thinking about… taking government subsidies and starting my own electric car company. Who’s with me?”

“I’m thinking about not being elected. Never holding a public office,” he continued over the bluesy riff. “Never serving one day of military service. But somehow having the authority to control parts of the U.S. government. Who’s with me?”

As the “Seven Nation Army” songwriter called out Musk’s role as the unelected leader of the budget-slashing effort known as the Department of Government Efficiency, White also lobbed some scathing insults at the president.

“I’m thinking about not being properly vetted by the Supreme Court or Congress, just doing whatever the hell I want because some fucking bloated asshole orange fucking gorilla who’s failed at every business he’s ever ran wants me to be his golf cart partner!” he howled, prompting cheers from the crowd.

White, whose criticism of Trump goes all the way back to the time of his 2016 campaign, railed against the Republican after he secured his second term in office last November.

In a lengthy Instagram post, he warned readers about Trump and his party’s plans to ramp up deportations, restrict abortion access, retaliate against his enemies through the justice department and more.

“Americans chose a known, obvious fascist and now America will get whatever this wannabe dictator wants to enact from here on in,” the rocker wrote in his post. “It’s absolutely dumbfounding that this con man succeeded in pulling the wool over so many Americans eyes not once, but twice.”
