The White Stripes drop lawsuit against Trump campaign for unauthorised Seven Nation Army use

The move follows a bitter Instagram post by Jack White condemning what the US can expect from choosing ‘a known, obvious fascist’

The White Stripes have dropped their federal lawsuit against Donald Trump for unauthorised use of their song Seven Nation Army in a video posted by campaign deputy director of communications Margo Martin in August. The suit stated that the band “vehemently oppose the policies adopted and actions taken by Defendant Trump when he was President and those he has proposed for the second term he seeks”. In the wake of Trump’s victory last week, Jack White posted at length on Instagram, criticising the president-elect and saying it was “absolutely dumbfounding” that the American people had elected him a second time.
