President Donald Trump hosted Kid Rock, Bill Maher and Stephen A. Smith for a White House dinner on Thursday, 15 October, an evening the musician later called 'epic' and said ended with agreement that socialism and communism have no place in American government.
Kid Rock gave his account on Fox & Friends the following morning, describing a table divided politically between himself and Trump, whom he counted as Republicans, and Maher and Smith. Smith describes himself as an independent. The gathering was Smith's first dinner with Trump and Maher's second White House visit.
