His recent orders have focused on ramping up his efforts to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/politics\/politics-news\/trump-executive-order-law-enforcement-1235327251\/\">embolden law enforcement<\/a> across the country, as well as attempting to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/politics\/politics-news\/trump-pledges-limit-mail-in-voting-putin-1235410408\/\">ban mail-in voting<\/a> and allow law enforcement to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/politics\/politics-news\/trump-relocate-dc-homeless-1235404640\/\">displace and institutionalize <\/a>unhoused people. Meanwhile, these critical and consequential decisions are being made in the ugliest room in the White House, according to musician <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/jack-white\/\" id=\"auto-tag_jack-white\" data-tag=\"jack-white\">Jack White<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cLook at how disgusting trump has transformed the historic White House,\u201d White shared on Instagram, where he published an image of Trump\u2019s recent meeting with Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky. Following a recent redesign, the Oval Office is now covered in harsh yellow-gold accents, like Halloween costume jewelry from a Party City clearance bin. \u201cIt\u2019s now a vulgar, gold leafed and gaudy, professional wrestler\u2019s dressing room. Can\u2019t wait for the UFC match on the front lawn too.\u201d <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"\/>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tIn the image, White tagged WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair in place of Trump. He also compared the president to <em>Idiocracy<\/em>, the 2006 film in which an anti-intellectualism movement leads to the functional collapse on the United States. \u201cHe\u2019s almost fully achieved the movie,\u201d White said. The only difference is that the president in <em>Idiocracy <\/em>was actively seeking out help from intelligent people. <\/p>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ recirculation-modules trending-in-article lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tIn July, Trump boasted about the new design. \u201cI picked it all myself. I\u2019m very proud of it,\u201d he said, per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2025\/07\/20\/trump-white-house-design-gold\/84025659007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><em>USA  Today.<\/em> <\/a>Barbara Res, who previously oversaw construction as the former vice president at Trump Organization, told the publication that Trump \u201cused the word \u2018class\u2019 a lot, and it was a high-class thing for him. It conveyed an illusion of taste and wealth, and that\u2019s why he wanted to gild everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tWhite describes Trump\u2019s choices differently. \u201cLook at his disgusting taste, would you even buy a used car from this conman, let alone give him the nuclear codes?\u201d the musician asked. \u201cA gold plated trump bible would look perfect up on that mantle with a pair of trump shoes on either side wouldn\u2019t it? What an embarrassment to American history.
