Rock star mocks Trump’s latest effort to leave his mark in US history

  • Jack White, former White Stripes frontman, has publicly criticised Donald Trump's decision to add his signature to newly printed US paper currency.
  • The US Treasury Department's announcement of this unprecedented move for a sitting president prompted a strong reaction from White 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?” White fumed.
  • “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!”
  • This latest criticism follows White's previous outspoken remarks against Trump, including comments on airstrikes against Iran in February.
