Kid Rock isn't exactly known for subtle appearances — or diplomatic statements.
Politically, too, he rarely keeps quiet and has repeatedly made his admiration for Donald Trump public.
On the US channel Fox News, one of the former US President's favorite programs, he now chatted about mutual encounters.
Among other things, the British »Guardian« reports about it.
One of these joint appointments took place in 2017, in Trump's first year in office.
Kid Rock was invited to the White House along with fellow musician Ted Nugent.
Also in attendance was former Republican running mate Sarah Palin.
What exactly happened that day only became public through the current Fox interview.
In addition to plenty of advertising for his new album, Kid Rock also revealed on Fox News that Trump asked him, among other things, for assessments of highly explosive political issues.
"What do you think we should do with North Korea?" Trump asked him, bent over maps.
He didn't feel qualified to answer substantively, said the 51-year-old musician, whose real name is Robert Ritchie.
Trump also asked for support in formulating a tweet about US strikes against Islamists in the Middle East.
He was surprised that there were differences between Trump's version and the tweet that was actually sent.
The message has been defused, according to Kid Rock.
Trump wasn't known for subtle messages before he was banned from Twitter.
Drastic statement about Anthony Fauci
Kid Rock's statements are certainly not always to be taken at face value.
But fellow musician Ted Nugent also reported at the time that, among other things, they talked about "North Korea and Russia."
In an interview with Fox News, Kid Rock also left out about the virologist Anthony Fauci.
He had advised Trump in the fight against the corona virus and was declared an enemy – by conservative media such as Fox News, among others.
Kid Rock's message was short and clear: »Fuck Fauci«.
Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson, not a wallflower himself, forced himself to comment: "You speak to a lot of people's souls."
