Jack White Attacks President With ‘Icky Trump’ Video’

Jack White changed the lyrics to his 2007 White Stripes hit “Icky Thump” to take a swipe at US president Donald Trump, during his performance at the New York Governors Ball over the weekend.

The solo artist expanded a verse in the song to yell: “That’s for you, Trump! You can’t be a pimp and a prostitute too, Trump!” and then switched the title and yelled: “Icky Trump, Icky Trump, Icky Trump.

“Icky Thump” is the title track from the sixth and final album by The White Stripes, and reached No.26 on the Billboard Hot 100 upon its release.

The lyrics are heavily critical of US immigration policy during the Bush era, with lyrics including: “White Americans/What? Nothing better to do?/Why don’t you kick yourself out/You’re an immigrant too.”
