White House slams The Chicks' Natalie Maines with ‘peanut-sized brain’ insult after singer takes aim at Trump

The White House fired back at The Chicks frontwoman Natalie Maines after the singer took aim at President Donald Trump , unleashing a blistering personal attack that branded her a "despicable nobody" with a "peanut-sized brain." "Natalie Maines is a despicable nobody who clearly suffers from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted her peanut-sized brain," the White House told Fox News Digital.

The scathing response came after Maines — who kicked off The Chicks' anniversary tour for "Taking the Long Way" in Manhattan this week with bandmates Emily Strayer and Martie Maguire — revived the infamous criticism of former President George W.

Bush that sparked a firestorm more than two decades ago, only this time, she suggested she would welcome Bush back compared to Trump.

"We thought that was the worst it could get," she said, referencing the backlash to her 2003 comments towards Bush.

"Now I’d give George (W.) Bush a big wet kiss," she laughed.

"’Cause now we’re ashamed the president of the United States is from the United States." The comment was a direct reference to her 2003 statement about Bush that garnered backlash at the time: "Just so you know, we do not want this war, this violence, and we’re ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas." The comments prompted a mixed reaction on social media.
