Jack White vs Trump

[thewayne]

"Disgusting...Vulgar..."
-- musician Jack White on Trump's redecoration of Oval Office

"Jack White is a washed-up, has-been loser...It's apparent he's been masquerading as a real artist, because he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendor and significance of the Oval Office inside of 'The People's House.'"
-- WH spokesperson Steven Cheung

"'Masquerading as a real artist'? Thank you for giving me my tombstone engraving! Well here's my opinion: Trump is masquerading as a human being. He's masquerading as a Christian, as a leader, as a person with actual empathy."
-- White


I so love it when their default response is to insult people, and the people they insult are so much better at it.

EDIT: My bad. I originally posted the subject as Jack Black vs Trump, not Jack White. Bain drammage.

Jack Black was so on-target there.

Anyone with an ounce of taste would look at what he's done and be revolted.  But some people are beholden and won't admit it.  Though I expect to pre-decease him, I would be so amused for Jack to have 'Masquerading as a real artist' on his tomb stone.

Jack Black? Or Jack White?

Either way, I agree with Dewline: definitely on-target!

My bad. Dain brammage, and bad sitch in Phoenix, which is now mostly over.

[draconis]

Damn. I'm sorry about the bad sitch, but glad it's coming to a close.

Merry everything and happy always, my friend.

I loved what Jack White said!

Trying to insult artists who have been around for a while means that you learn very fast that music critics are far harsher than wannabe tough guys, and that people who work with words for a living often turn out to be pretty good at it.

Oh, Trump is definitely a leader, if you define "leader" as someone who tells other people what to do, without in fact having adequate knowledge or attention to give orders that will work out better than what the minions would have done on their own initiative.

Some quantity of right wing Americans claim to believe that nothing can possibly be accomplished by a group larger than one person, without an order-giver telling all the other participants what to do.

To be fair, Jack Black inhales the scenery and everything else around him like some kind of human black hole, so it's an easy mistake to make. :D
