Jack White dedicates “Icky Thump” to Donald Trump: “You can’t be a president and a prostitute, too!”
In the lead up to the 2016 presidential election, Jack White sold “Icky Trump” t-shirts in protest of then-candidate Donald Trump. During his headlining set at Governors Ball on Friday, the former White Striper once again used the title track to the band’s 2007 album to deliver a stinging rebuke of Trump.
After singing the song’s second verse (“White Americans, what/ Nothing better to do/ Why don’t you kick yourself out/ You’re an immigrant too/ Who’s using who/ What should we do?/ Well, you can’t be a pimp/ And a prostitute took) White proclaimed: “That’s for you Trump. You can’t be a president and a prostitute, too.” He repeatedly sang the phrase “Icky Trump.”
