The backlash grew as the image intersected with religious tensions.

The controversy began when Trump shared an image of himself in flowing robes, bathed in light and seemingly healing a man — imagery widely interpreted as Christ-like. After backlash, the president removed the post and insisted it was misunderstood.

“It’s supposed to be me as a doctor making people better,” Trump said. “And I do make people better.”

The explanation did little to quell criticism. Instead, it added fuel to a growing cultural and political backlash, which White quickly seized on.

He called Donald Trump the ‘worst American of all time.’

In a lengthy Instagram post, White declared Trump not just the “worst President in the history of America,” but the “Worst American of All Time.”

“Hey evangelical Christians? Remember that anti-Christ you been squawking about all these years… Well…check out your boy now!” White wrote, directly addressing Trump’s religious supporters.

The musician, who grew up in a strict Catholic household, framed the moment as a test of faith for those backing Trump, questioning how supporters reconcile their beliefs with the president’s actions.

“How could any Catholic support him after he attacks the character of their Pope multiple times?” White added. “How did so many millions of people fall for this conman?”

Religion, Politics and Celebrity Collide

Jack White also criticized the president’s remarks about Pope Leo XIV.

White’s comments also referenced Trump’s recent attacks on Pope Leo XIV, whom the president called “weak on crime” and “terrible for foreign policy,” intensifying tensions with religious communities already reacting to the AI image.

For White, the combination of the post, the criticism of the pope, and the war in Iran paint a broader picture.

“If the felonies, epstein files, rapes, bombing of schoolchildren… didn’t convince you that you fell for this deranged grifter, maybe this lil’ post will?” he wrote.

The rocker also dismissed Trump’s explanation for the image, adding: “He lies, then lies about the lie, then doubles down on that lie with another lie and they Just. Keep. Falling. For. It.”

A Familiar Feud Goes Further

The feud escalated with debates over politics and faith.

White’s criticism of Trump is nothing new, but the intensity and tone of his latest remarks mark an escalation. He has previously mocked the president’s policies, public appearances, and even aesthetic choices, once calling Trump’s Oval Office style “a vulgar, gold leafed and gaudy, professional wrestler’s dressing room.”

The White House has fired back in the past, with Communications Director Steven Cheung previously calling White a “washed up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media.”
