Jack White has criticised Guy Fieri, Mark Wahlberg, Joe Rogan, and Mel Gibson for "normalising" former president Donald Trump.
“Anybody who ‘normalises’ or treats this disgusting fascist, racist, con man, disgusting piece of shit Trump with any level of respect is ALSO disgusting in my book,” White wrote in an Instagram post on Monday.
“That’s you Joe Rogan, you Mel Gibson, you Mark Wahlberg, you Guy Fieri. This is a statement from me, not a discussion/debate.”
Over the weekend, Trump was photographed with Fieri, Wahlberg, Rogan, and Gibson at UFC 290 in Las Vegas.
This is not the first time White has posted about Trump on his social media.

Last November, he announced he was quitting Twitter after Elon Musk reinstated Trump's account.
“So you gave Trump his Twitter platform back. Absolutely disgusting, Elon,” White said at the time.
“That is officially an asshole move. Why don’t you be truthful? Tell it like it is. People like you and Joe Rogan (who gives platforms to liars like Alex Jones etc.); you come into a ton of money, see the tax bill, despise paying your fair share, and then think moving to Texas and supporting whatever republican you can is going to help you keep more of your money (How else could Trump possibly interest you?).”
The UFC 290 event is not the first public event where Wahlberg has spent time with Trump. The actor played in a celebrity golf tournament with the former President over a decade ago.
“He was very Donald Trump-like, talking about the things that he does, things that he has, business interests, properties, stuff like that,” Wahlberg told The Guardian about his first meeting with Trump.
“But he wasn’t ever mean or rude. I don’t think he asked me too many personal questions, or about what I do.”
