Overview

• Jack White shared an Instagram image from President Trump's meeting with Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky and criticized the Oval Office decor as vulgar, gaudy and gold leafed.
• In the post, White contrasted Trump with Zelensky, calling the Ukrainian leader a real leader while deriding the room's gold-toned ornaments and trappings.
• Trump redecorated the Oval Office soon after his January inauguration, adding extensive gold elements that reporting has noted include pieces brought from Mar-a-Lago.
• Trump publicly embraced the redesign in July, telling reporters he picked it all himself and that he is very proud of it.
• White's remarks follow years of his public opposition to Trump, including a 2024 dispute over the use of The White Stripes' Seven Nation Army that was later dropped.
