Conservative rocker Kid Rock has alleged that former US President Donald Trump asked for his advice about America’s policy on North Korea and Islamic State (IS). The singer and rapper, who was one of Trump’s most vocal supporters during his presidential campaign, has claimed that he asked for help writing tweets after the fall of IS in 2019.
Speaking to Fox News host Tucker Carlson in a recent interview, the musician claimed that he was with Trump when the terrorist organisation fell. “I was there with [Trump] one day when he ended the caliphate,” he said.
Rock – real name Robert Ritchie – continued: “He wanted to put out a tweet…I don’t like to speak out of school. I hope I’m not. But…the tweet was, and I’m paraphrasing, but it’s like, you know, ‘If you ever joined the caliphate, you know, trying to do this, you’re going to be dead.'”
According to Ritchie, Trump asked for his help wording tweets: “He goes, ‘What do you think?’ [I said] ‘Awesome. I can’t add any better.’ But then it comes out and it’s…reworded and more political, to look politically correct. And just, ‘be afraid’.”
He went on to imply that the former president allowed him unlimited access to government plans. He and Trump were once “looking at maps. I’m like, you know, like, ‘Am I supposed to be in on this shit?’ Like I make dirty records sometimes. I do.”
According to Rock, Trump asked: “‘What do you think we should do about North Korea?’ to which he replied:” ‘What? I don’t think I’m qualified to answer this.'” Rock continued supporting Trump throughout his presidency. A year after the musician was asked to offer advice on US foreign policy, he attended a presidential debate between Donald Trump and current US President Joe Boden as Trump’s guest.
Eyeroll...Sometimes, Trump is his own worst enemy.
Hire him. He did a great job. Peace and prosperity.
Biden has the likes of “the view” and Jane Fonda for advice.
Sometimes the average guy on the street has 10x more common sense than 20 lifer state department pinheads.
. . . d e s p e r a t i o n . . .
Considering the Deep State swamp dwellers Trump surrounded himself with once he sat in the Oval Office, taking advice from Kid Rock isn't particularly offensive.
Better than anyone brandon is using right now.
“He’s a cowboy, baaaby…”
And TikTok “influencers”.
I wish these media wouldn’t use his real name. Kid Rock sounds better than Bob Ritchie.
You’re telling us you’re taking Kid Rock’s advice on how to formulate your personal political opinions.
Oh, wait.
Maybe some reporter should be putting his/her time to good use by finding out why Hunter Biden got $3.5 million from the Moscow mayor’s ex-wife. Or why Joke lied when he said he knew nothing about Hunter’s business when they actually had shared bank accounts. You know, frivolous issues like that. 🤬
Does not mean he followed that advice. But more importantly, it was definitely better advice than Biden gets on a daily basis with his “experts”.
Better than Blinken.
...and...
He ordered his staff to always keep his tires partially flat
where they met the road, a clear menace to himself, his family,
his staff, other drivers, nearly always some children close
by, and sweet innocent pets both domesticated and wild.
wash your hands when you’re done...
Yup.
He definitely shouldn't have listened to me when I recommended Sessions, but c'est la vie.
This is a nothing burger.
He probably considers him a friend. We all have friends we
let vent, without ever incorporating their thoughts as our
own.
Some vindictive individual heard them talking and ran with it.
Well, the proof is in the pudding. Look what Joe’s experts have done. Trump wins again!
