Criticism of the golden redesign of the oval office
Photos of the renovated interior of the White House were published in March. These show numerous golden mirrors, frames and decorations. It is common for president to make design changes on the rooms, but Trump’s version met with a particularly large number of critical voices. Observer: Inside, an overload of “CNN” criticized with golden elements that did not fit the historical character of the building.
Jack Whites wrote on Instagram: “Take a look at how Trump turned the historic white house. He also moved parallels to the satirical future vision of the film “Idioocracy”.
Jack White ventured on Instagram:
Trump himself explained on Instagram in the summer that he personally selected the equipment and was “very proud” on it. Barbara Res, formerly Vice President of the Trump Organization, the “Washington Post” said it reflects Trump’s preference for gilding his understanding of “class” and “prosperity”.
Earlier criticism and legal disputes
White’s criticism is part of a series of public statements by the musician on Trump. In 2024, together with MEG White, he sued the ex-president’s campaign team for the unauthorized use of the song “Seven Nation Army” in a campaign video. He also used song texts several times at concerts to attack Trump and his policy.
