Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, August 22, 2025

In what can best be described as a sad, pathetic, weak, tiny d energy move the White House has lashed out against musician Jack White after he criticized the Trump administration which recently used his music without authorization in an ad promoting ICE's kidnapping of people without due process. Steven Cheung, White House communications director, called White "a washed up, has-been loser" and said the artist "has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career." That's quite the stretch considering White is currently busy touring to promote No Name, his 2024 critically acclaimed album, while also preparing for his November induction to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

I miss the days of quiet, competent and stable leadership in the White House.

The WH comment is the usual prevarication of the Trump admin.

That might be put on hold once Lewzer appoints himself CEO and Chief Inductor.
