In an interview for Sky News for the documentary, Trump’s America: 250 Years in the Making, Kid Rock confirmed that his friendship with Donald Trump provides him with a “front-row seat” to politics.
When asked by the show’s host, Paul Murray, about his connection with the US President, the musician (born Robert Ritchie,) described Trump as “f**king awesome” and shared that the president will text him randomly, adding:
“It’s one of my late-night drinking tricks because I know when to get him.” “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.”
Regarding his support for embattled politician, the 55-year old singer/songwriter said that he’s a fan of the 80-year-old’s leadership style “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.”
Defending Trump against claims that he makes “so much money,” the Michigan native mused:
“No s**t, cause he’s a f**ing 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.”
It was in February that Kid Rock Picture was 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.
