Kid Rock Tells Tucker That Trump Asked Him for Advice on North Korea—and Yeah, That Tracks

Kid Rock Tells Tucker That Trump Asked Him for Advice on North Korea—and Yeah, That Tracks
Fox News

Former President Donald Trump has had an erratic relationship with North Korea's Kim Jong-Un. In a 2017 tweet, Trump suggested that Kim was "short and fat". In 2018, Trump warned Kim that his "Nuclear Button" was a "much bigger & more powerful one than his."

But over the course of Trump's four years in the White House, the tensions between the two leaders loosened, with Trump joking they "fell in love" and boasting about their "love letters" to each other (letters he illegally took from the White House to Mar-a-Lago after his presidency).


In a recent interview with far-right Fox News host Tucker Carlson, conservative musician Kid Rock offered new insight into how Trump went about conducting relations with North Korea.

Watch below.

During the first year of Trump's presidency, the White House hosted Rock, along with conservatives like former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and guitarist Ted Nugent, wherein the three were granted a dinner and private tour of the White House.

Rock relayed to Carlson that Trump asked:

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

He also went on to detail how Trump asked for his guidance on a tweet about the ISIS caliphate:

“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.’ He goes, ‘What do you think?’ [I said] ‘Awesome. I can’t add any better.’"

Sadly, social media users saw Trump asking for foreign policy advice from the likes of Kid Rock woefully on-brand.






Others chastised Carlson for laughing at the anecdote.



Yikes.

Trump Ripped For Hypocrisy After Claiming He 'Doesn't Know' Who Crypto Founder He Just Pardoned Is

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed during a sit-down interview with 60 Minutes correspondent Norah O'Donnell that he doesn't know who Binance cryptocurrency exchange founder Changpeng Zhao is despite pardoning him less than two weeks ago.

In 2023, Zhao pleaded guilty to violating anti–money laundering laws after Binance allegedly failed to report suspicious transactions involving groups such as Hamas and al-Qaida. He later apologized, paid a $50 million fine, and served nearly four months in prison before being pardoned by Trump.

Gavin Newsom Expertly Trolls Trump Administration With Parody Spirit Halloween Costume Memes

California Governor Gavin Newsom had social media users cackling after he, in a series of photos on X, mocked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. with photoshopped meme versions of Spirit Halloween costumes.

Noem, who has led the nationwide immigration crackdown that continues to tear apart families around the country, is the "Border Barbie" of one meme that pokes fun at her for shooting her dog, her penchant for bringing camera crews wherever she goes, and the way South Park writers lampooned her in one of its most widely-seen episodes this year.

Blue States Are Taking A Page Out Of Trump's Playbook With Alerts About SNAP Benefits

President Donald Trump and his administration are facing criticism as blue states post alerts about the loss of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits as a result of the Trump administration's failure to spend contingency funds to feed people on the program, a decision that is resulting in a nationwide hunger crisis impacting millions of families.

State officials have announced plans to inform visitors that if they’re alarmed by the pause in SNAP benefits beginning November 1 due to the shutdown, they should direct their frustration at the Republican Party.
