Citing “overwhelming demand,” rock and roll musician Kid Rock recently started selling Donald Trump-themed apparel.
One of three T-shirts tied to the president-elect depicts a post-election map with Republican states labeled “United States of America” and Democratic states labeled “Dumbf—istan.” Another features the words “God, Guns & Trump.” The third includes an image of Trump along with a crude message directed at his opponents.
The hat, which is a spinoff of Trump’s signature “Make America Great Again” cap, reads “Make America Badass Again.”
The items are available through Kid Rock’s online store. (Warning: Some items feature vulgar language.)

Although Kid Rock has long been known for his unabashed patriotism, Republican politics and support for Trump, some critics expressed outrage over these new products, saying they cross the line.
One such critic is record label Sumerian Records, which reached out to fans through Instagram and expressed its belief Kid Rock has no business playing alongside other industry leaders at the 2017 Northern Invasion Festival in Somerset, Wis.
“While we are excited to have @badomensofficial on @northerninvasion we would like to remind you that @kidrock is currently selling and promoting this tshirt. This is the epitome of closed-minded bulls— that is the opposite of rock & roll and everything our music stands against,” read the post.
“Diversity is the beauty of life. This post is not about who you voted for. It’s about accepting each other knowing there will be different opinions rather than generalizing and bashing millons [sic] of fellow Americans,” it continued.
“We love California and we love Texas too. This type of hate should not be tolerated in our community. He should be playing shows with Ted Nugent, not Soundgarden and Opeth,” the post concluded.
Sumerian Records represents Bad Omens, who will also be playing at Northern Invasion next May. Kid Rock and Soundgarden are headlining the festival, which also includes the Offspring, Godsmack and Bush.
Trump won the festival’s traditionally Democratic state of Wisconsin, as well as Kid Rock’s home state of Michigan.
So far, Kid Rock has not issued a statement about the record label’s rant.

You have to admire Kid Rock for staying such a strong conservative when 90% of the music industry are liberal douchebags or tgey hide their conservative leanings for gear of losing support. Kid Rock couldnt care less. Trump should invite him to play at the inauguration!
“Diversity is the beauty of life.”
Says who? What a load.
This type of hate cannot be tolerated = we don’t like what you are saying and we want to shut you up.
Hey, if they are having trouble booking performers for the Inauguration...
Liberal snowflakes are nothing but a bunch of hate-filled, retarded morons. They need to go back to the toilet they crawled out of and demand their tuition money back. They were robbed.
Kid Rock would tear the joint up! I hope Mark Burnett has him in the radar... Kid has a lot of a country vibe as well, maybe pair him with Hootie and the Blowfish?
These bozos need to knock off the "recreational drugs." We are no longer ONE NATION UNDER GOD. We're a bunch of tribes full of morons out there sticking it to one another. "Diversity" can kiss my ass. You are either an AMERICAN or you're not an AMERICAN.
They should ask Kid Rock to play at the inauguration.
NICE

Oh boy......
I’ll bet Kid is really concerned /s (as if the /s was required)
