Kid Rock has revealed his friendship with U.S. President Donald Trump gives him a “front-row seat” to politics.
In a new interview for Sky News for the documentary, Trump’s America: 250 Years in the Making, host Paul Murray asked the singer-songwriter, real name Robert Ritchie, about his connection with the American leader.<\/p>\n
In response, Rock described Trump as “f**king awesome” and shared that the president will text him randomly.<\/p>\n
“It’s one of my late-night drinking tricks because I know when to get him,” he said. “He’s so gracious, he always picks up or he’ll call and check in just to shoot the s**t. He’s not calling me to (ask), ‘Hey, what should we do in Iran, Bob?’ I don’t get those calls. But, if I’m sitting around having some beers if it’s like 11, 12, on a Friday or Saturday, I know he’s up. He sleeps like me, he sleeps five hours.”<\/p>\n
As for his support for Trump, the All Summer Long hitmaker noted that he is a fan of the 80-year-old’s leadership style.<\/p>\n
“I enjoy the hell out of hanging out with him and talking with him and just having a front row seat to the greatest s**t show on earth,” the 55-year-old continued.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the conversation, Rock defended Trump against claims that he makes “so much money”.<\/p>\n
“No s**t, cause he’s a f**ing businessman, he’s smart,” he mused. “He did that before he was President, and I know his heart and soul. His concern is for this country, period. This country first and I think every leader in any country should be that for their country.”<\/p>\n
In February, the Picture artist featured in the All-American Halftime Show, which Trump branded as an alternative to the mega-popular Super Bowl Halftime Show headlined by Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kid Rock has revealed his friendship with U.S. President Donald Trump gives him a “front-row seat” to politics.In…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":907117,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[29],"tags":[69,171,189084,97366,975,367122,144315,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-907116","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-donald-trump","tag-entertainment","tag-front-row-seat","tag-kid-rock","tag-music","tag-paul-murray","tag-sky-news","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116849486458349698","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/907116","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=907116"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/907116\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/907117"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=907116"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=907116"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=907116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
