Controversial rocker Kid Rock recently opened up about his “friendship” with U.S. president Donald Trump during an interview with Sky News Australia host Paul Murray as part of Murray’s upcoming one-hour travelogue documentary “Trump’s America: 250 Years In The Making”.
Kid Rock has been a vocal supporter of Trump and has performed at Republican-affiliated music gigs, sat next to Trump at football games and received invitations to the White House.
When Asked by Murray what it is like “having a buddy who’s running the world”, Kid Rock replied: “F**king awesome. [Laughs]”
Kid Rock said he occasionally calls Donald Trump late at night after having a few drinks, joking that he knows the best time to reach him. He said Trump is always gracious, often answers or calls back, and that their conversations are usually casual rather than political. Kid Rock added that he enjoys spending time with Trump and described having a “front-row seat” to everything happening around him.
“Yeah, it’s one of my late-night drinking tricks. ‘Cause I know when to get him. And he’s so gracious. He always picks up. Or he’ll call and check in, just to shoot the shit most of the time. He’s not calling me to, like, ‘Hey, what should we do in Iran, Bob?’ I don’t get those calls. But I was sitting around having some beers. It’s, like, 11:00, 12:00 on a Friday or Saturday. I know he’s up. He sleeps like me — he sleeps like five hours. And I’ll be, like, ‘Hey, let’s call the President and bullshit.’ And people will be, like, ‘What?’ And he’ll be, like, ‘Hey, Bob, what’s up?’ And blah, blah, blah. It’s the best. I enjoy the hell out of hanging out with him and talking with him and just having a front-row seat to the greatest shit show on Earth.”
Rock went on to blast critics of the U.S. president, insisting that Trump always puts America first.
“It kills me, the people that don’t see that,” the rocker said. “They want this level of bullshit we’ve had for — since I’ve been alive, with these politicians, presidents. They’re, like, ‘Well, he’s making so much money while he’s president.’ Like, no shit, ’cause he’s a businessman. He’s smart. 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.”
