Jack White threatened with a lawsuit at the end of August after seeing how the song was used in a campaign video with Donald Trump. "Don't even think about using my music, you fascists", Jack White wrote on Instagram then.

Since then, the video in question has been deleted from the X platform, according to Variety, but it has not prevented The White Stripes from taking action in the matter. On Monday, the duo filed a lawsuit in New York against Trump and his communications chief Margo Martin.

"This machine sues fascists", Jack White writes on Instagram under an image of the lawsuit. The phrase can be read as a reference to the message that American folk musician Woody Guthrie stuck on his guitar during World War II: "This machine kills fascists".

A federal court recently banned Donald Trump from using the song "Hold on, I'm coming" at his campaign rallies after one of the copyright holders' heirs filed a lawsuit.
