Country singer Kid Rock revealed he calls Donald Trump late at night when he’s drinking — and claimed the president “always picks up.”
Kid Rock, a long-time MAGA supporter, often appears at Trump administration events and has made several visits to the White House. Now, the 55-year-old has revealed more about his relationship with the president in an interview with Sky News host Paul Murray.
When asked if he ever gets random texts from Trump, Kid Rock said he did, adding that calling the president is "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***," he told Murray.
"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,” he added.
The singer described his relationship with Trump as “f****** awesome,” adding: “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*** show on earth."
The interview also touched on the recent controversy surrounding Trump’s financial disclosures, which revealed he earned at least $2.2 billion last year, with more than $1 billion coming from his cryptocurrency ventures.
The disclosures led to widespread backlash, with critics accusing Trump and his relatives of profiting from the presidency, claims which the president and his family have denied.
When asked about the concerns that Trump is “making so much money,” Kid Rock told Sky News: “No s***, cause he's a f****** 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,” he continued.
Trump has also responded to critics, telling reporters Wednesday he’s profiting “because the stock market’s going up” and that he “made a lot of money” before he became president.
“I don’t get involved in my personal. We have funds that run my money… And they invest my money, and I don’t talk to them, I don’t even speak to them,” he said.
“So, I have many people, I don’t know what they call them, closed accounts or something, you put your money in and that’s it. I don’t talk to them. They’re big institutions, and they run it.”
