Jack White Is Selling “Icky Trump” Shirts
The White Stripes came together earlier this week to make their first statement as a band in a long time, decrying the use of “Seven Nation Army” in a fan-made video in support of Donald Trump’s presidential bid. Now Jack White has taken it a step farther: He’s selling “Icky Trump” T-shirts, a riff on the White Stripes’ 2007 studio swan song Icky Thump. “Icky” doesn’t even begin to describe the man, but we can’t all say “Fuck Donald Trump” so freely like YG I guess. The words are in a stark white font against the red shirt, matching the color scheme from Trump’s “Make America Great Again” hat as well as every White Stripes record in history. The back of the shirt includes a clever play on the “Icky Thump” lyrics:
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 too.
You can pre-order the shirt over at the Third Man store to be shipped on 10/12, although the purchase page notes there may be shipping delays due to high demand.
