Jack White Criticizes Trump After Iran Remarks About L.A. & San Diego: ‘The Worst American of All Time’
The rock musician addressed Trump supporters in Southern California after the president said allowing Iran to "take out" the two cities would be a "very small price to pay."
Jack White, co-founder of the White Stripes, has condemned President Donald Trump's remarks about Los Angeles and San Diego during a recent campaign rally in Nebraska. In an Instagram post, White questioned the feelings of Republicans and conservatives living in the two Southern California cities, asking how they could support Trump after his suggestion that Iran could attack the cities.
White shared a screenshot of Trump's comments, stating, "Hey republicans and conservatives that live in L.A. and San Diego; how do you feel about your Fuhrer recommending that the cities you live in get attacked?" He accused supporters of clapping and cheering for Trump, calling their allegiance to the "corrupt felon" "laughable and ignorant."
White argued that Trump's claim that the cities' destruction would be a "small price to pay for keeping the world safe" was an absurd statement. He criticized the White House's efforts to frame Trump's remarks as being about Iran's potential nuclear threat, insisting that any other President would be condemned for such an idea. White concluded his post by labeling Trump as "The Worst American of All Time," expressing his hope that the situation wouldn't worsen before the midterm elections.
