Jack White's Trump Tantrum: A Rock Star's Rant and the Importance of Civility

Created: JANUARY 27, 2025

Musician Jack White recently launched an online tirade against several celebrities for interacting with former President Donald Trump at a UFC event. He criticized figures like Joe Rogan, Mel Gibson, Mark Wahlberg, and Guy Fieri for their perceived "normalization" of Trump. White's outburst included a photo of Mel Gibson with Trump from 2021, highlighting the musician's focus on Trump regardless of context.

The Fox News host Greg Gutfeld responded to White's comments, questioning the musician's logic and pointing out the hypocrisy of condemning others for associating with Trump while having performed at the funeral of Loretta Lynn, a Trump supporter. Gutfeld also defended the targeted celebrities, highlighting Guy Fieri's charitable work and Mark Wahlberg's support of veterans' causes.

Gutfeld criticized the overuse of the term "normalize" in political discourse, arguing that Trump's status as a former president and the recipient of nearly 80 million votes makes the concept of "normalizing" him irrelevant. He further argued that such rhetoric contributes to the increasing polarization of American politics.

Gutfeld also questioned White's focus on Trump, suggesting it distracts from more pressing issues. He concluded by urging White to focus on his music and offered a humorous critique of his recent work.
