WHITE SWIPES

Eminem Makes Surprise Appearance at Trump Nemesis’ Holiday Halftime Show

The “Lose Yourself” rapper joined forces with one of Trump’s leading detractors.

Eminem has stuck it to President Donald Trump by appearing on stage alongside his sworn nemesis, Jack White. The White Stripes icon is embroiled in a feud with the administration after he mocked Trump’s gold-accented do-over of the Oval Office. The “Houdini” star crashed the stage with White during the Detroit Lions’ Thanksgiving Turkey Day Classic halftime show, which they lost to the Green Bay Packers 31-24. White had performed “Seven Nation Army” at Ford Field when his fellow Detroit native appeared on stage. It comes after Eminem was named executive producer of the Lions’ halftime show through 2027. White’s swipe had led Trump’s communications director, Steven Cheung, to label him a “washed-up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media because he clearly has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career.” The “Icky Thump” singer was incensed that it was his interior design notes that earned him their ire, rather than past accusations of “blatant fascist manipulation of government,” “gestapo ICE tactics,” and “disparaging sexist and pedophilic remarks about women,” among other things, Rolling Stone reports. “It wasn’t me calling out any of that. It was the f---ing DECOR OF THE OVAL OFFICE remarks I made that got them to respond with insults. How petty and pathetic and thin-skinned could this administration get?”
