Jack White blasts ‘egomaniacal conman’ Trump’s decision to include his own signature on dollar bills
Jack White has mocked Donald Trump’s decision to add his own signature to all newly printed U.S. paper currency.
The U.S. Treasury Department announced the unprecedented move last week, which is a first for a sitting president.
In response to the news, the 50-year-old former White Stripes frontman wrote on Instagram: “Oh how humble! But why stop there donnie? Why don’t you use your small hands to sign into law that your oh so stern orange face appears on the front of the hundred dollar bill as well?
“You might as well, since Congress and the American people (and to an extent, the rest of the world) are all just letting you do whatever you want to anyways, so go ahead!”
White’s post continued with reference to the president’s recent threats to Cuba, with the musician writing: “Invade Cuba next? Sure! Go ahead, nobody’s stopping you. America gave the most powerful seat in the world to a manipulative, loophole finding, egomaniacal, conman.
“But why did America do it you ask? Why is he so great?….because…he’s just so great! He DESERVES to be treated like a king. Was he ever a mayor, or senator, or dog catcher even? Nope, but….he’s so great! I mean look how proud he is signing his little laws….awww.”
The rock star also nodded to reports that TSA agents have resorted to selling their own blood as he continued: “TSA agents are selling plasma to pay rent while he takes the day off, cheats at golf, and bombs other countries for fun.
“Gas prices are surging as a world wide crisis that HE caused rages in the Middle East; it’s the perfect time to joke on fox ‘news’, visit Graceland, and sign into law to have your bloated, cocky signature on all U.S. currency! Congrats donnie! You deserve it!”

White has become an increasingly outspoken critic of the president in recent months. In February, he spoke out after the U.S. and Israeli military began airstrikes against Iran.
“Don’t you love seeing him declare war on a country while wearing a trucker hat that says ‘USA’ on it?” White wrote on Instagram.
“Behold the leader of the ‘Board of Peace.’ For the next war announcement donny, may I suggest having your feet up on the Resolute desk while eating a Big Mac in a velvet track suit?”
