Kid Rock told Carlson that he first came to the Trump White House as Sarah Palin’s guest (which led to the famous meme image of Kid Rock, Palin and Ted Nugent with Trump) and was apparently also consulted by the former President on the composition of tweets. Kid Rock was surprised that the former President asked for his view on national security issues, reportedly showing him maps, but remains a staunch supporter. He also told him that the two men still play golf and talk on the phone together.

Kid Rock said he and Trump were once “looking at maps. I’m like, ‘Am I supposed to be in on this shit?’ Like I make dirty records sometimes.

“‘What do you think we should do about North Korea?’ I’m like ‘What? I don’t think I’m qualified to answer this.’”https://t.co/Isj63eMtE2

Political commentators on Twitter and elsewhere reacted to the news with varying degrees of disbelief and shock. Some saw Trump’s consultation of Kid Rock as highly predictable, given the 45th President’s fascination with conservative celebrities and open disdain for the American intelligence community and civil service.

Is ANYONE surprised to learn that Trump asked Kid Rock what to do about North Korea?

Others mocked the former President for consulting a rock star on important state affairs and made fun of Fox News for covering it.

I've done a lot of stupid shit in my life but I never asked Kid Rock for advice on how to deal with North Korea

Ukranians are pulling dead children from under concrete slabs that were killed by Russian bombing.

And Fox News today is talking about Hunter Biden's laptop and an interview with Kid Rock.

Fox News is anti-American, anti-freedom and pro Russia and pro Putin. It's disgusting.

Along similar lines, some took the chance to sarcastically praise Kid Rock and his work. Kid Rock, also known as Robert James Ritchie, has been nominated for two Grammy awards and is recognized as a pioneer of the country rap style of music. His friendship with Trump is a continuation of his long involvement in Republican politics, which included exploring a Senate run in 2017.

Kid Rock said in his interview with Tucker Carlson that he's "un-cancellable" because he doesn't have any sponsor or record deals. No, you're un-cancellable because nobody has cared who you were since 2000.
