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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>                      \t\t\t<!-- Dailymotion player (contact: Kutay.vardar@dailymotion.com) --><\/p>\n<p>And asked if Trump ever texts him &#8220;randomly&#8221;, Rock confirmed he did and added of calling the preseident: &#8220;It&#8217;s one of my late-night drinking tricks, because I know when to get him.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cHe&#8217;s so gracious, he always picks up, or he&#8217;ll call and check in just to shoot the s***.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;He&#8217;s not calling me to [ask], \u2018Hey, what should we do in Iran, Bob?\u2019 I don&#8217;t get those calls. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;But, if I\u2019m sitting around having some beers, if it&#8217;s like 11, 12, on a Friday or Saturday, I know he&#8217;s up. He sleeps like me, he sleeps five hours.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nEarlier this year, Kid Rock headlined the All-American Halftime Show, a Super Bowl halftime show alternative hosted by Turning Point USA in protest at Puerto Rican musician Bad Bunny topping the bill during the break in the NFL showpiece.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe later insisted he &#8220;didn&#8217;t understand any&#8221; of Bad Bunny&#8217;s Super Bowl halftime show, which featured the Grammy Award-winning rapper performing Spanish-language songs and extravagant choreography.<\/p>\n<p>\nKid Rock told The Ingraham Angle: &#8220;I didn\u2019t understand any of it. I saw there\u2019s a lot of dancers and a lot of big to-do stuff.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And, you know, he said he wanted to have a dance party; it looked like he had one.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Not my cup of tea, but I don\u2019t fault that kid for doing the Super Bowl, getting in front of a global audience.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I fault the NFL for putting him in that position and Turning Point for having to come out and have an alternative for people to watch. You know, it\u2019s just \u2013 poor kid.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Only God Knows Why singer&#8217;s comments came after Trump heavily criticised Bad Bunny&#8217;s show on Truth Social.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe wrote: &#8220;The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER!<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn\u2019t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World. &#8220;This \u2018Show\u2019 is just a \u2018slap in the face\u2019 to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day \u2013 including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History! (sic)&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBad Bunny, 31, took to the stage at Levi\u2019s Stadium in Santa Clara, California halfway through the Seattle Seahawks\u2019 game with the New England Patriots and performed some of his biggest hits, including Tit\u00ed Me Pregunt\u00f3, MONACO and BAILE INoLVIDABLE.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe artist &#8211; whose real name is Benito Antonio Mart\u00ednez Ocasio &#8211; also welcomed guest performers such as Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin onto the stage during his set, which also featured cameos from the likes of Pedro Pascal, Cardi B, Karol G and Jessica Alba.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/kid-rock-loves-hanging-donald-trump-1446929.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3 July 2026 Kid Rock &#8220;enjoys the hell out of hanging out with&#8221; President Donald Trump.
